Pretty cool how a good portion of the video is out of frame. I love trying to learn these useful knots that can help me by just guessing what you are doing. 🤦♂️
That is the easiest way to tie a Bowline in heavy _hawser,_ because it can be tied “on deck“, and tension on the line to the belayed object (usually a ship moored to the dock) will “dress“ the knot automatically. No, _by far_ the easiest (and fastest) way to tie a bowline is via the “wrist flip“ method. One holds the working end and uses the same _one_ hand to make a loop in the line by merely turning the wrist, to feed the working end at the same time. A Google search will clarify the method, but suffice to say it is one-hand-one-motion. Magical, when done right. The best book on how to “throw“ various knots, including the Bowline, is the book by Brian Toss, _Chapman´s Guide To Knots._
@charlesxix awesome! you should make a video showing people how easy your way is! i guess at the end of the day it comes down to individual perception and experience. thanks for your input
It binds on one end of the rope... I use it when I'm climbing a tree to have my guys clip another rope to or if I need another saw . Whatever u put inside the bite it will tension down on.
@johnduch2815 I just uploaded another video on what I call poor man's come a long... Check it out and it will show you a handy way to use the marlin spike. Thanks for your comment, hopefully that helped you a little bit.
My favorite bowline method - tie an overhand slip knot (before I step out on a slippery foredeck) insert the working end through the ‘work’ then through the bight and upset the slip knot over the working end. Less time using both hands on a pitching deck.
@hanshart1472 I honestly learned this method of tying it just a couple of years ago! Spent years using a method that was quite a hit harder and slightly more time comsuming!
As a climber and a rigger, a bowline knot is good for being able to untie after pulling a truck out of a ditch. Although it's not reliable for a climber, with an addition like a Yosemite tie off, it becomes acceptable for climbing too.
@kerker3122 amen brother! I use the running bowline everyday! If I'm using a basal anchor for SRT, I'll always use either a Yosemite like you're saying or throw a figure 8 on the tale. Thanks for your support
I'm glad that you mentioned an additional Yosemite when doing a SRT. I figured it would be safe enough if the bowline wasn't moving, like a basal tie-off, but now I'll add an extra safety knot to "any" bowline that is life-supporting!
@@joepippin9596 it's clear you know nothing about what you're talking about aaand obvious you didn't watch the whole video😂 but thanks for trying to sound like you know what you're saying. 5/32 round file is what I used after I shaved the rakers down with the flat file. A 3/16 file would be used for a little bigger saw with a .325 pitch chain. You might would learn a thing or two if you watch the whole video, doesn't sound like youve ever sharpened a saw. At least not proficiently.
@joepippin9596 please take your negativity somewheres else with all due respect lofl we didn't all come out the womb sharpening and running saws like you, don't be so rough on us! Honestly though, 80% people who "know" how... Do not and can sharpen a chain 2-3 times before it's no longer cutting properly. But everyone has to learn somehow, I suppose there are better alternatives to learning, idk but sounds like you're very good at it. Upload some photos of your chains so we can see how they supposed to look!
There's always room for improvement,no matter you're level of experience. That's goes for everything. Technically a chainsaw doesn't have a blade either, it's a chain. Thanks for your input though... very helpful.
No disrespect..my man..and god bless .im all for saveing change ..cash..and after 30 years like seeing others techniques..but that chain is gonner...more power to ya....stay safe
That's your opinion bud! If you know how to sharpen a chain this is when it cuts best. I've got 2 new chains in the truck though, not about saving money. Just trying to help people learn a correct way of sharpening, and it's good to be able to see what a chain should look like still at the end of its life. Thanks for your input though
@@dannypayge6547 yes sir I do that so it's not so hard to push over and to get to start hinging. Good looking out though!, it's always good to know people are looking out for you!
Yeah boss man likes to keep it clean for dropping wood, kind of aggravating. Adds a little tike here and there but I normally would cut my saw off but the on/off switch is broken so I have to choke it to turn it off... Then 3-4 pulls to crank back up ... I gotta fix that lol
