This is a solid knot. Recently, I've used figure-8s when climbing, but they're unnecessarily hard to untie. This retraced bowline is safe, secure and easy to untie. I think the double loop through the harness also theoretically reduces stress on the rope during falls.

I like to throw in a yosemite tuck to my figure eight but leave the tuck loose so theres a grabbable loop that I can pull out of the fig 8 when untying :-) makes it so i can always untie even when pumped out lol

So I’ve noticed a lot of folks tie it this way. But typically with a bowline when you go “around the tree” you go around the back instead of the front like this. So that the tail ends up inside the loop not the outside. I’ve seen this know done both ways and it doesn’t appear to make any difference in terms of the end results but I’m curious if one is better over the other? Thanks for the video.

Technically, the true bowline has the strand in the inside of the circle. My arborist instructor always said “a proper bowline doesnt leave your rabbit (end strand) homeless (outside of the loop)” lol

Regular bowline vs Dutch bowline. No difference in integrity, the Dutch Navy uses tail outside method. Useful if you need a tagine in hauling where the tail isn't impeded by the load like a regular tail-in-loop bowline.
