How to Tie the Most Useful Knot in the World (Bowline)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a short video to help those who have seen many of my past videos where I use a bowline knot. This is the most useful knot you will ever learn. It will not slip when in use, and comes undone easily even after being tightened under thousands of pounds. #NightHawkInLight

    I find it to be so useful because of how quickly it can be tied, and untied after bearing a heavy load. Taking the static loop it creates you can firmly tie a rope around anything without cinching it down onto the object, or you can feed the running line through the end to create a sliding loop that will cinch down. Because it has an easy break it will not over tighten and can always be easily undone, whereas heavy weight on the knots you mentioned makes them difficult to later untie.

    I teach this knot to people then blind fold (close their eyes, no peeking, actually) them and repeat 17 times. No rabbit, no hole, no tree, just a hand manipulation (just as you showed) that your body will remember forever through "muscle memory". It should be a knot you can tie fast in pitch dark in an emergency. WHO taught me this? An OLD but still (at the time) active duty Merchant Mariner on my first US Merchant Marine ship in 1975. Hesailed as an AB or Bosun. I was a mere OS(Ordinary Seaman at the time) I am 67 and still sailing on 1000 foot ships. Bosundave. I make more than the 3rd mates, BTW

    A good knot is one that is strong in tension and is easy to untie after it's used. The bowline fits this description and can be used to loop around almost anything. For example, it is taught during dive training as a way to ensure escape when diving in caves. Once the knot is tied, one simply puts the free end around anything substantial (i.e., a tree) and then passes it through the loop left by the knot. I have used it in this way to control the fall of trees and it is perfect for the job.

    @qnximg It can be used any time you need a loop in a line that will not slip. For example, if you needed to tie a loop you could put under your arms or hold onto if you needed to be airlifted. It can also be used to tie one line to another. Rather than using the end of the line to come back up and make the second half of the knot, you can use the tail of another line which will securely attach the two together. One of the best things about this knot is it easily comes undone after tightening.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion though.

    It also can be used in water and ice rescues for the same reason. Basically any application where a non-slipping loop is called for. The knot itself can be worked loose when it's not under load, but the loop will not close as long as there's some tension on it. Fun fact: the bowline and sheet bend have the same structure. With the standing and free ends hidden, they are indistinguishable!

    Yes! The old bowline on a bite! A variation I know~ but stumped the hell out of me as a Boy Scout circa 1972. Took ma forever to pass because of this one knot. My favorite was the taught line hitch. Tied more junk to more car roofs.

    My father never really taught me this stuff, always felt ashamed I didnt know it. At times he gets frustrated when I don't know some stuff and I simply state, you never taught me is the thing. The look on his face always hurts. He's done his best for me without a doubt, and these are small details that get looked over in life. He was too preoccupied trying to get food on the table for us which was most important at the time, and I have all the love for him for that. I thank you though, for taking your time and teaching this to me and millions others who possibly just never got the chance to be taught by someone, something so simple.

    So I think I've worked it out. There's 2 critical bits to remember: 1) The loop you make at the start goes in the main line of the rope. 2) The end goes through the loop so that it finishes up on the opposite angle to the main line, i.e. if the loop is such that the main line sits on the side of the loop furthest away from you, the end goes in to the loop away from you and comes out the loop on the side close to you, and if the main line is close, the end comes out away. Then you just take the end round the main line and and bring it back through the loop, which for me was dead easy after making sure 2) was correct.

    False statement in the comment presented over video. This knot becomes easly undone when circular pressure is applied - that means, when you for example try and push away with two hands from the inside of the loop. The more force you apply, the easier the knot will become undone, and fastest it goes when the force is changing. People died because not knowing this. If you just apply force on whatever end of the rope and the loop being pulled away in oposite direction - in most cases (not always) it can hold. However - it is strongly adviced to backup bowline with simple half hitch on a loop when using it for serious purposes - climbing, berthing, or any situation when the knot becoming undone may create some risk to people or important equipment safety.

    This is indeed a great knot. When I was taught it my instructor told me a story to remember how to tie it. You make your initial loop, that is a rabbit hole. The short end of the rope is the rabbit. So the rabbit comes out or its hole, runs around a tree (the long end) and goes back in its hole. Whala, you have a bowline knot. A knot that holds very well and is just as easily undone.

    If you know how to rapidly tie a bowline around your waist only really using one hand, you can save your life if someone throws you a line. If you are in cold water, or have to be pulled up, the strength in your hands can fail you, but if you have a bowline, no-slip loop around your waist, you can be pulled out, even if you go unconscious before your rescue is completed.
