The running bowline is a workhorse for tree workers. It should be part of the arsenal of every tree worker’s climbing knots and rigging knots. What is the running bowline knot used for? It can be used for both basal and canopy anchors in your srt tree climbing system. To prevent accidents or falls make sure it is secured eg with a double overhand knot or with a Yosemite tie off. It is used extensively in rigging applications and rigging techniques for pruning or cutting down trees for removal, since the knot cinches down nicely on the tree limb. This knot is simply a regular bowline tied around its own standing part, it does not matter where around the standing part you tie it. This allows you to tie the knot far along the standing part and thus far from the rigging point. Since it forms a kind of sliding noose you can just then run it up by pulling on the standing part. This is useful for tip tying when it is awkward to get all the way out on a limb, and you have to lift the limb to avoid a utility or some other obstacle. This property has often also been used to tie off a tire swing or tree swing to an overhead branch.
