How many different versions of the bowline knots are there? I've learned 3, not including the one in this video and here you are talking about the Eskimo version.
@@alvindueck2104most people dont know this method of tying the eskimo bowline and in fact there is only one video that shows this method of tying it and thats why Im spreading the news about how to tie it this way.
Finally! Someone else who does it like this. Been using that hand motion for slipnots on trucker hitches for years. I finally clued in one day that the foundation of the bowline is basically a slipknot and it works so good
The only difference between the overhand slip and marlin spike is the toggle or whatever you put through the marlin. That's it. So if you know how to tie one, you know how to tie the other. I think the slip knot is part of several other knots
It’s not a half hitch, it’s an over hand. The reason for it is because a bowline will untie itself when repeatedly loaded and unloaded. The overhand safety knot will not allow the tail to pass through and fully untie.
Being an arborist this was sooo fucking odd. I thought it looked like he was gonna do a Yosemite tie off which makes the tail go back toward the line and is super secure. Also if he's gonna do it there a much faster way to do a bowline. He said 60 seconds to the the knot. Well there are a few ways to do a bowline but def the first time I've ever seen tied or finished off this way.
@@wildlifewarrior2670 that would make sense. 60 seconds is a long ass time for pretty much any knot ..... Maybe not the monkeys fist. But almost any other knot, that would feel like forever.
The hardest knot to tie is the knot everyone’s watching you tie. 60 seconds can go by fast when your nerves are trying to sabotage you in the academy. Also I’ve never seen anyone use an overhand to finish this knot. My department uses a Yosemite to finish.
@@xWakeUpx yeah sometimes….. I guess….. But if you do the knot soooo many times it is pure muscle memory and thinking about the knot isn’t even a thing. .the overhand on the tail is just a way to back it up and avoid slipping, but if it’s slipping they didn’t dress it right or it has loaded and uploaded a few times….. Yeah the Yosemite is my preferred backup to the bowline.
Then why do they have a Yosemite finish? I do tree work as a climbing arborist. The safety is there for redundancy. But I've seen it not dress properly and slip. Then again they were super green at tree work and overall could have just fucked the knot up.
@@wildlifewarrior2670 that's a fact and much faster. I like the Yosemite finish just because it looks cleaner. But for overall speed, a figure 8 with the tail end is super quick.
A bowline is ues as an anchor around an object. Or you can do a bowline to itself and it chokes the object your tying around so it becomes super secure where the rope won't move. Good for rigging, tying things to objects.
It’s used in virtually any application that calls for a secure anchor or attachment. It’s one of the best utility knots in existence. You can use it for almost anything.
