It is funny you brought up a memory. In my younger days I worked for an electric utility. I was the clerk on line truck. I operated the truck and equipment and did crew clerical work. My first day the Forman said "do you know how to tie a bowline knot?" So he had me get a pigging string which was 1/4 inch cotton line about 6 feet long. So he showed me how to tie it. I was expected to keep that pigging string with me at all times. He would point at things on the truck or around the pole and say "bowline" and I was expected to tie it right the first time. Didn't matter what was going on, he would all of a sudden just point and "Bowline". this went on for weeks. I got pretty good at tying it at all angles, right side up or upside down. he had me crawl under the back of the truck and tie it. Thanks for the memory.

Thank you for these kind of vedios. I was a boater for over 40 years, and had to do many different kinds of knots while boating and camping. Was certified years ago one man, two man and infant first aid. Was active member of the United States Power Squadron were we taught these knots and many other things. But as time has past and I have not practiced them, I had forgotten how to do even simple knots. Age and a servere concussion over a year ago in a car accident has me working my way back to these memorys and usefully life saving tips. I still have my professional first aid case in my vehicle at all times. The internet and vedios like this are a G-D sent to keeping me alert, safe, self relient, sound and restores my past memorys. Thank You. From A 70 year old nature loving woman.

For the years I was in the Boy Scouts I learned to tie the Bowline behind my back, one handed, also to tie the square knot behind my back. But we were taught the Bowline to do it 3 ways for both climbing, repealing, and rescue. I was always taught it was safer that way. One loop went around the chest and the other 2 loops went around each leg that way for a rescue it was like a cradle, for repealing or going down a cliff it was the best secured setup.

In school ( fishery school ) we were taught about 57 ( I kid you not ;-) different knots and stitches. All of them were taught to be made behind our back - and with a time limit. Don't know half of them now ( 30 odd years ago... ), but I can still do all of them behind my back. We were also taught to make nets in Manilla string, with our bare hands ( no needle ), and after finishing it, to take it apart again...good ol' days :-) We were also encouraged to have a knife on us at all times ( as one would on board a ship ), don't think that would go down well with some of the populous today ;-) Even now when I leave the house, I always have at least three knives on me...hey I was told to always have a knife on one selves 'cause it will save your live more often the one would think... Skipper was right...more then once.

Thx for teaching me how to do the bowline around myself or someone else. Ur the 1st to do it in a way i could actual apply it correctly. Like the 1st loop in the rope looks like an overhand 6P. Giving me the loop on the outside and rope laying on the top. Also which ends to pull tight and dress had me going. Practice, practice i got it now. I relearned about 20 knot/hitches in total but applying them in real life outdoor applications i found your channel one of the best. So i can see every angle as u r tying and to what and why. Alot of knots are shown by others but few people show for what and why! Thx alot. Very good videos!

As a climber l tie the rope into my harness with a bowline secured (as shown) with a double overhand. It has served me well over a long career. It fulfils the 4 requirements of a good knot- 1) Easy to tie. 2) Easy to untie. 3) Does the job. 4) Does not damage the rope. I have never met another climber who ties in with the bowline however. The Figure 8 is knot of choice. Every instructor and climbing school uses it. Why? The main function of the rope is to hold a falling climber. I have had many leader falls and l am living proof that the bowline works without fail. Once fallen on, the tight bowline is relatively easy to loosen and untie when needed. The Figure 8 can be a swine to untie after a fall, especially with cold hands on an ice climb. So why is it taught to every novice? Think of the training scenario where one instructor may be supervising a group of beginners. He can’t be looking everywhere; he must turn his back on them. The Bowline, properly tied and secured with a double overhand is totally secure but in a training environment, the Figure 8 once tied TIGHT, will never work loose, thus lessening the workload of the instructor.

Hey love the videos. I’m not sure if u know about what we in the FDNY call the “Handcuff Knot”? It was developed after a fatal fire where a member was trapped in a cellar and they were unable to rescue him in time. This knot was developed and extremely simple to tie in 2 seconds and it forms 2 loops that wrap around a victims wrists like handcuffs and pulls tight when a rescue pulls on the working ends. It comes undone when u let it go. If interested I can maybe post a video on how to tie it and how it’s used and maybe put a link in this comment section as a reply so u can check it out. Prob the best knot to lift someone vertically whether there conscious or not. U just need access to their hands. Could be a lifesaver

Good video. My old man was a prewar Coastie. When I was little he taught me the one handed bowline but it was a different situation. You had fallen overboard and the line was thrown to you. You grab on with your left hand and tie the bowline with with your right. Quickly hitting the end in your hand makes the tail of the rope come back to your palm and you grab it to complete the knot. He drilled me on it until it was second nature. In the mid 1960s I won every Boy Scout knot tying contest in our district. Since then I taught it to Boy Scouts, Soldiers and even 3 Force Recon Marines that I ran into. Try my scenario for the fun of it. Good Luck, Rick

I often use a bowline as an anchor for a rope (e.g. lashing a cover to my BBQ) but haven't heard about your second setup. It seems like a faster way to tie the same knot. Adding a clove hitch to the bight is also new to me. I've always added two half hitches around the standing line. Neither should jam, as they're not load-bearing.

back in the 1950's in the BS of A, we called that one handed bowline , the running bowline. I am old now and have a hard time remembering knots, but I sure remember how to tie that one. Being a skinny kid 90 lbs and a good swimmer, I was always picked in the team races, to be the rescuer and while running to the water I could, tie the running bowline on the way. I didn't add, very much added weight when they were pulling us back to shore. 63 some years later, I can still tie the knot, but not the running part :- ( PS: have you ever had the bowline come undone, with out the added double overhand knot ?

Bowline is a great knot. Instead of the overhand loop try a figure 8 loop. Climbers use it to tie off because it's easy and doesn't bind under load to where you can't recover your cord. Just another tool for the toolbox.

I love the knot lessons! However, in Boy Scouts I learned a different method for the self-rescue bowline. It can be done with one hand. Long end in left hand short end in right. Short tail held like a knife pointing along the direction of the long end. Right wrist crosses the long end twice like hammer blows. Then the short end circles the long line from the top, grasp the short end, and pull the short end all the way thru. Bowline.

Outstanding as usual. A very versatile knot for many applications. For rescue we would teach the double bowline climbing knot, it is a little more comfortable and can stabilize a victim if you separate the loops and put one under the arms and the other below the hip line.

Great vid 👍. Practicing these I did notice there is a potential to tie it wrong. The litte snap you give in actually tightening the knot is important as the loop that secures the knot needs to be on the side of the running end. I noticed you verified this a couple times with your thumb like after tieing the blindfolded one handed bowline. The issue lies when the loop securing the knot lies on the side of the standing end resulting in a running knot. This can happen if you tie the knot slowly when tightening & don't verify the position of the loop that secures the knot.
