Tie a Lifesaving Knot in a second! | The Moana Knot (Flying Tugboat Bowline)

[@Perktube1]

Best tutorial on the flying bowline I've seen yet.

[@RTLivingFree]

My man, thank you

[@bryankirchgestner]

Stumbled across your channel and I'm glad that I did! Very cool stuff 😎

[@ferdinandheld5432]

Great video, best I’ve seen on a flying bowline! Thank you!

[@carlsutherland3730]

In fishing knots it's known as the perfection loop. Great knot! Great video!

[@zacharyh2080]

You should definitely update more! Been a long time since you’ve posted

[@audigex]

Easily the best demonstration of this knot I've seen - I've had it explained to me before, and watched videos about it, but this is the first time I ever "got" it

[@poopfart5453]

This tutorial made it hilariously easy. Thanks.

[@badasswood]

Great tutorial, nice back drop, and setting, great lighting, and I think I found tom cruise living a simpler life😅🤣🤣

[@frankhusel5033]

Your vid was suggested to me as I finished another video about knot tying. You demonstration is definitely the fastest knot tie I have seen so far! Very useful! Please take my appreciations! I love it when people share such skills! Thank you! Amendment: I may be mistaken, but this one with one bight pulled through the other seems to be identical to the "English Knot". It also may have other names.

[@PhillyDom]

STILL watching your video 📸 in 2022 Family 😊👍👌

[@randymarko486]

That resembles the Anglers Loop. Love it ! GREAT VIDEO !

[@micchaelfearn5163]

That's brilliant friend.

[@aod7080]

Thanks a lot for share. from Seoul Korea.

[@tomthompson7400]

thats amazing , now i have to go practice ,... lots

[@JacobNozicka]

Nice to see someone doing a channel about the industry. My first season was with E.C. Phillips in Ketchikan back in 1997. Was 20 yrs old. Hahah. Back when the fairy from Bellingham was cheep and the fun way to travel up there. Also back when companys didn't pre hire or pay for travel unless you where a return employee. Still was easy to do anyway if you worked hard. With work being slow do to the "situation " Ive decided to come back at the age of 43. Im still in great shape and am looking forward to it. Leaving for Naknek in a week. Paid fight and all. Looking forward to seeing the changes.

[@RTLivingFree]

Jacob, I;m glad you're getting out there and getting after it! Hope AK can offer you a bit of a sense of home and community even in the strange times were in with this epidemic. I'm happy you're out there this year, I had to sit this one out. I've been missing it out there.

[@PhillyDom]

FREE WATCHING YOU FROM HAITI........ VERY COOL VIDEO CHAMP........ KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING..........

[@RTLivingFree]

Thanks Philly ;) Glad you're keeping up! Thanks for doing that collab with me again, I think it came out really great

[@richardhuizar9598]

That's pretty cool am learning thanks for the tips!😀

[@RTLivingFree]

Genuinely, this is one of my favorite videos I've filmed I love this knot, it's so dang fun to whip a rope around and get a bowline out of it! Glad you enjoyed it. Can you tie the knot now?!

[@DavidNitzscheBell]

Question: you and another person I saw demonstrate this know both say “start by flipping the rope over to make a loop”. But, looking closely after you’ve done the next step - flying the end of the rope around this loop - you’ve “I flipped” the first loop you made. So, why is it necessary to make that loop in the first place?

[@orngchkn]

You don't. It's an unnecessary step - he "unflips" it by the time he pulls the other bight through the loop

[@JF0913]

Thanks for sharing

[@fishingwithmike828]

Now this is a great video

[@RTLivingFree]

You made my day man, thank you

[@josephlai9759]

Thanks. Amazing speed. This is one very useful loop. Flying bowline is a name new to me though. I think it is commonly called an Angler's Loop.

[@Knotty_Bill]

I believe you are correct. It's important to know different and faster ways to tie knots. Thanks for your input, I wasn't sure others though the same as I.

[@cirobergonzi8807]

thanks man!

[@ericcollins3056]

You should make more videos!

[@Allenballen88]

That definitely looks like an anglers loop... But still pretty cool! Thanks for showing it

[@cmcc4662]

Similar to a bowline but tail is wrong direction, your variant would jam under a heavy load

[@SailingSarah]

Maybe this is why some captains don't like this knot.

[@Ali-gp6yc]

💙💙💙

[@bbrown-ed6if]

Just came across your channel and subscribed and was wondering if you are planning to do any more videos ?

[@ChristianNomad]

very interesting

[@RTLivingFree]

glad you liked it dude :) it was a fun one to film

[@traptown6396]

RT Living Free

[@RTLivingFree]

That’s me 🤙

[@aussieguy751]

what thickness of rope did you use and what is the name for that type of rope?

[@lukejohnson3772]

Are you also fishing this next summer?

[@RTLivingFree]

not this time around, I'll be releasing video I got from last year though! stick around, it will come out soon!

[@RTLivingFree]

got any questions I can answer for ya?

[@lukejohnson3772]

Where do you hang around nowadays bc I’m also a commercial fishermen on the babeJ and I wanted to know you still hang around cordova

[@jstnoliver]

hey bud been following you for a while. your videos have been useful helping my navigate my first seson in ak. I'm going back this year and would like to get out of the processing plants and onto a boat. Any good suggestions on docks to walk in the southeast?

[@RTLivingFree]

Glad you’ve been following man, sounds like you’re first season kicked off right! If you’re looking to walk the docks for the first time I’d recommend Cordova. There is a place you can stay that will give you shelter or space for free or cheap, and the town is full of good people. It’s a safe place to be which you can’t say about all the fishing towns out there. I’d set my sights on Cordova and bum at Hippie Cove until you’re on a boat. That worked for me 👌

[@frankwhite9090]

RT Living Free question bro, if I want to arrive early April is there any work in Cordova or anywhere in Ak or do I have to wait for June? Thx

[@RTLivingFree]

@@frankwhite9090 I know you can process herring in Naknek in early april, I'd look around for canneries that do herring. If you know the place you want to work in the summer look there first. Canneries also need handy-folk to help get ready for salmon season. They could make use of you if you are a generally handy guy

[@frankwhite9090]

RT Living Free Cool. It’s my first time out and I would like to find a 4 month contract. I have an opportunity in Naknek but it doesn’t start til June. Thanks for this info, I’ll look around for more companies that process herring. Thx bro

[@RTLivingFree]

@@frankwhite9090 anytime mate, shout out if you ever have more questions

[@RBLXGaming23]

Why didn't you continue working in Alaska?

[@dogbone6315]

Old deckhand did this the other day. I will get this down

[@Lino1989]

Where you been at man? Always enjoyed your videos but seems like you stopped after Covid. Hope all is well.

[@wolfmanwalrus1604]

Is that the cape ninilchik

[@wolfmanwalrus1604]

Homer alaska, Northern enterprise

[@воваседой-ш9ъ]

👏

[@celebrityxcruises8087]

Song please?

[@aceystar1478]

After analyzing it looks very similar if not the sans as an angler loop. Only difference I see is you're wrapping the rope around the front instead of the back

[@ChecooFishScale]

RIP to this guy KZbin 🥺🤕

[@denversgaming8006]

And where you at and are you still in the canning business or no

[@Motor.vivasayi]

Hi bro can I join you bro for a job on your boat

[@duskphantom]

Hey man, about to be in Naknek for this salmon season come june 15th. I'm wanting to pursue deckhand work after like i'm assuming you did. Is this still possible with everything going on concerning Covid? would it be a lot harder to find work on a boat? I'm planning on flying to anchorage after season ends in august i'm also not sure if thats a good move if i'm looking for boat work but i would be willing to fly almost anywhere, I also would like to sight see a bit. was wondering if you had any info on what time/where would be best to find work post cannery season on a boat

[@RTLivingFree]

Solid question man, it is weird in the time of COVID but the opportunity is still there. Whenever you fly somewhere, you will need to be quarantined for 2 weeks before you can go to public spaces, but that is manageable. As far as ease of finding work, it depends on what boats you're looking to get on. The market for reds, silvers, and kings took a hit because China and Japan aren't buying like they did before covid, but pinks are still selling - so they say. Gillnetters may not do great right now, but seiners are likely hiring. Walk the docks and see what turns up. As for timing goes, depending on where you want to fish, go check the department of fish and game to find out when fishing openers begin. Each area opens at different times. You want to be there around two weeks ahead of the first opener of the season. You should make time to find the job and do the pre-season work. There's never guarantees in the fishing business, even less so now. If you're going to roll the dice on something though, it's worth it to roll the dice on fishing. If you go, stay in touch, I want to know how your attempt at landing on a boat goes.

[@JacobNozicka]

Im heading up just for cannery but they are quarantining us before travel in Seattle. Only 2 days but still quarantined at the cannery after arriving. Good luck this season.

[@williamcompitello2302]

Be careful how you tighten this. Sometimes, I end up with this "diamond button" pattern or a self tightening mess. You don't want to squeeze your shipmate blue. Then again, I practice knots with a white shoe string, so...

[@borincod]

I don't see how it is better than a bowline. You can tie bowline consistently even in the darkness while everything is shaking and moving around. This flying end may just fly somewhere you don't want to. Then you will need to try tying the knot again wasting precious time. When it is not clear can you turn the bowline out, you can just tie Eskimo knot. It is very robust to mistakes, fast, and you can tie it even when the rope is frozen and you wear mittens.

[@HughvanZyl]

I can tie a regular bowline in a second. It's not that hard. This knot is really unreliable, as many things can go wrong while tying it, and most of the things that can go wrong, are a lot more likely when in an emergency (which is when people recommend you use this knot). It also can't bare as great a load as a bowline. People need to start admitting to themselves that this knot is largely just used for party tricks.

[@iancampbell3202]

That’s not a second

[@RTLivingFree]

You know, most people use "in a second" as a figure of speech. But, you ain't wrong, that was a little longer than 1/60th of a minute.

[@SailingSarah]

I heard some captains don't like that knot, what gives? 💁

[@RTLivingFree]

That's very true- this is not a knot to use for tieing a loop for everyday load bearing tasks on a boat. The knot itself is not a "true bowline" so it's more likely to slip or snap under high pressure. This is a way to tie a strong knot that can confidently lift a man or woman out of the water, but I wouldn't use this to tie off a boat or to secure a line that's being tensioned by a machine. Before you throw it to your friend in the water, give it an extra hard tug just to be extra sure it will hold. Great question, thank you for asking it!

[@stevecarter8810]

That should be front and center in any video explaining something that's called a bowline but doesn't have its properties

[@stevekirby23]

ARE YOU STILL ALIVE

[@pdevrin]

...it’s cool to show your friends but it is not a bowline
