@@OutsideChronicles yep, but my scout teacher was kind of a cool guy, so he taught us the one handed knot while we were there. Between him and my dad, who was a scout master as well, I had an interesting education. 🤣
i learned this 40 yrs. ago in a basic sailing class. A part of the final exam was we had to do this while steering boat. Cool, i forgot how to do it and was just recently thinking that I bet there's youtube video somewhere explaining it. Thanks.
Nice, unfortunately knots are a perishable skill. A buddy of mine was in a Marine mountain division and had to do all of the climbing knots blindfolded. Thanks for the comment, see you outside!
Nie byłem nigdy na kursie żeglarskim ale troszkę żeglowałem po jeziorach i czytałem książki o tej tematyce. Pierwsza to "15 letni kapitan" którą napisał Jules Verne. Czytałem też książki które napisał Joseph Conrad. Trochę wiązania węzłów sam się nauczyłem, ale jedną ręką nie potrafię tak wiązać węzłów . Życzę szczęśliwego nowego 2023 roku
On my first job at sea , I was 19, I knew enough about knots to get me by. Basically I knew a bowline and 3 round turns 2 half hitches. But one of the guys on the workboat I was on taught me how to tie knots,that I didn’t even know existed, with my eyes shut. Any free time I had I would spend it splicing or practicing tying knots. It’s a good skill to have but unfortunately it’s a perishable skill so you’ve got to keep practicing.
there was a previous entry about the Bowline being the most trusted knot. this one handed technique can potentially save your life one day. thanks for the reminder. I'm practicing this technique once again.
My scoutmaster learned how to do it with one hand. He’d pay out 4 or five feet, then twirl it all around , it would weave into itself, a bowline would form. I saw it performed many times but I never took the time to practice it “ in case I fall down the cliff or crevasse and break an arm”
Learned this in Boy Scouts; I can even do this with my eyes closed; You need to really practice this. Due to if you fell off a cliff and broke an arm at night. You have learn how to do this with either hand. If I can do it! You can do it!!!
Yep, you never know. Notice I was looking at the camera in the intro. You may need to tie a knot in the dark. Knots are a perishable skill like map and compass. Practice, practice, practice.
I used the Morrow Guide to Knots to teach the Scouts. It was the right size to be packable for trips and the guys could practice during the drive on many knots. The Morrow guide shows the one-handed method and follows with the climber’s method. A military paratrooper told me they had to learn them in the dark during cold and raining conditions going up or down cliffs or canyons!
I learned how to do this in Boy Scouts - 1978. Sure wish a video like yours was available then, as this makes it so easy to master over crude line drawings. Great job, very useful knot.
I learned this in Cub scouts years ago. We used to have competitions to see who could tie it fastest. This is a good demonstration of how to do it. Thanks for the video.
Neat trick but don't try it with a line that could come under real tension, e.g. sticking your wrist through a loop attached to something that might move, like a boat, could end very badly.
That's taught to "yaps" becoming linemen. That is a most important knot. You can undo it easily if it's not wet, but it's stronger than the rope rating only using two half-hitches.
I was stuck on Clogwyn Ddu on Snowdon. A friend lowered a rop to me and I tied a bowline one handed. It saved me from a pendulum fall as I was 20 feet to the left of my second, 200 feet up. Desperation increases one's skills dramatically. It was 1968.
handy. as I regularly seem to create the loop in the wrong direction. then have to redo. by running my hand around it will help me which way it should go.
Don’t forget to tell everyone you have to hold your mouth right! I love the face on people when they are concentrating but unaware that it shows across their face 😂
I used this method to create the first part of the double bowline for climbing instead of using a 8-not which was pretty hard to open after climbing. I love the bowline. Awesome not. Just add additional slack to the end and follow the rope and make it double :)
Cool. I'm always impressed with rope "knots". For some reason my brain just won't process and recall them....I guess practice would help...... what are the uses/ advantages of a bow line?
I mean, you could see it on your face this is no easy task, you're trying to execute 2 separate actions simultaneously basically having to divide your hand in two, ALL WHILE FILMING AND EXPLANING HOW YOUR DONG IT!!! That is impressive sir my brain would short circuit no question 🤣 🤯😵💫
Hey bud, a lineman can tie a bowling fast (3 secs). I can tie the bowline with one hand tying behind my back, really! I use BOTH hands, but . . . I've had lots of experience, practice. If you can tie it in your head that isn't using NO HANDS really. We used Samson 2 layered loading boom truck retired, still has 20,000 lbs ++ breaking strength. You could pull stumps from ground and still undo knot. It was 1 1/2 "/diameter braided nylon
Bro, I've been messing up my bowline since I was in Boy Scouts in 1966. To this day, I do the rabbit, hole & tree thing, and still screw it up at least half the time. I will give this a try!
What’s my motivation though? I need a background to work with. Did I lose one of my arms in a tragic hiking accident? Or did I get shot by an assassin and now trying to repel down the side of a mountain in order to get away? Context please.
There are a couple of use cases that come to mind. 1. You fell down a ravine and one hand is holding a root preventing a fall. 2. You are in the water and need to hold one end the of rope to prevent the boat from drifting away (and so it does not crush you other hand when tying it). 3. A fun party trick! See you outside!
Absolutely do not do this on a line that may come under an unexpected heavy load! Do not do this when you are tossed the mooring line of a large boat--it can pull the line tight around your wrist and do great damage!
In case you fall overboard….hang on for dear life to the line they throw(hopefully) and tie the bowline with the other hand…mountain climber taught me this one…..
You bet, different applications depending on the situation. The other hand might be hanging onto a root. Shame on your rescuers for not tying a bowline before they threw you the rope. See you outside!
Lol when I was in the fire academy we used to run up on each other and try to tie one another up as fast as possible and drag em. Not quite as efficient as a head rope but just as fun
Извините, но русским запрещено пользоваться этим узлом. Этот узел для этичных, дружелюбных людей, которые не нападают без надобности на своего соседа, ничем не спровоцированного. Я уверен, что вы понимаете.
@@___HH___ .. можно без политического подтекста.. это во первых.. а то что этот "сосед" убивал мирное население 9 лет - это как ?.. яя проживаю здесь и все 9 лет это видел.. надеюсь Вы меня поняли.. с приветом С Донбасса !
@@ДемьянМинеевич Итак, вы сказали, что живете на Донбассе, который, как я знаю, является историческим, культурным и экономическим регионом на востоке Украины. И я знаю, что части Донбасса были оккупированы Россией примерно с 2014 года и «российско-украинской войны». Но вы были украинцем, и вдруг в 14 лет, что заставило вас переключиться? Почему? Мне любопытно. Подскажете?
это простой ,,беседочный,, узел. Бежной конец нужно осталять длиннее склыдывать в ладоне и делать кулак обвивая вокруг основного конца кулаком вытаскивая через заворот отпускать конец. Всё будет тоже самое но развязывается легко,за свободный коне рывок.Если вязать его например на гаше швартового то это будет ,,калмыцкий,,
The bowline or tying it one handed? The one handed bowline is useful when you other hand is incapacitated or occupied holding onto a root (or the rope in the water)
Right on! First of all these ''authoritative'' videos to show this valuable method! Improves efficiency with two hands, as well. For that I sub! Dad taught this to me over sixty years ago, before I was even a Scout, along with all the others I would need. I can hear him now: ''A bowline is a loop that will not slip nor jam.''
