I didn't know you could make a bowline this way! Always made a bowline and used that loop to attach it to the tree with a slipknot. This is so much easier! Quick and to the point as well. Thank you so much.

I agree it's pretty cool but you can do the same thing tying the bowline conventionally. Make a "six" (a loop) in the standing part (just turn the standing end to make the loop), run the bight end around the tree, pass it up through the loop in the standing part, then run it around the standing part (left or right--it doesn't matter) and back down through loop. It's "the rabbit jumped out of the hole, ran around the tree, and jumped back down the hole" method, but the "tree" is the standing part and the loop that goes around the post is the bight end.

Oh my! I have watched so many videos about this just so I could hang a short clothes line between two posts and the directions were always so confusing. The line seemed tight till I tried to hang something on it. The tightness was done by pinching fingers and pushing or pulling the line taught ....in any case. I’m in my mid 70’s. My fingers aren’t doing that. Then I saw your video with the pulley. Wow. I just hung two short lines in my yard and the sheets aren’t touching the ground! And it was simple....not “over this way and under that way and around and through”....whew! Women just make it easy. Thanks so much.

I saw this very useful tip for the trucker's hitch. When tying the truckers hitch, pass the working end through the tensioning loop twice rather than just once. Now when you pull it tight, the doubled line will lock allowing you to keep your tension while tying off the hitch. When releasing knot, just pass the line back through the tension loop once and pull hard. This will release it allowing for easy untying.

Guess it's a matter of preference. The self-locking trucker's hitch is a little harder to pull tight due to the same friction that locks it in place. So you keep the tension easier, but possibly build up less of it. Good to know both and maybe even chose depending on the situation.

I've watched this video damn near a dozen times in the past week. Your bowline, halter and truckers are the best explained and best methods I've seen.

Ah! Bless you! When I teach knots I ask if any of the folks know the bowline or remember something about a rabbit and a tree. If they don't or seem shaky, I teach it this way instead. Some still prefer what I call the "boy scout" way of learning/doing it, though I call it a snake, not a rabbit! I think for those that really struggle with knots it still has merit! I've been tying it this way for almost 30 years now and definitely prefer it over the traditional method. I'm happy to spread the magic. I recently heard a great name for it: the "snap" bowline.

I like the safety you did on the trucker's hitch. I used to (until NOW) pass the loose end through the loop for insurance. I think what you have shown is far easier and useful for hanging things, as you mentioned. Thanks for showing it!

After over an hour of trying to understand other videos and trying to make it happen saw yours and a couple mins later job done! THANK YOU for keeping it simple and having an amazing way of showing it the easy way 10/10 ! 🏆
