In all my 70 years I have never been able to tie a bowline -- until now! Suddenly it makes perfect sense! THANKS!!!

Fifteen seconds in and already breaking out the puns! "Knot so long of a video," ayyyyyyyye!

I clicked on your video to learn how to tie a bottle sling and ended up learning so much more!! Thank you so much!! I’m glad your recent too so of I subscribed to your channel ❤

Your 3rd way of tying the Bowline is basically the one handed Bowline tie I learned 65 years ago and have been tying and teaching ever since. I have been tying and teaching the Zeppelin bend for 40+ years, but recently mastered the Zeppelin loop and am using that instead of a Bowline most of the time. When I was doing production welding and had a shop apron, I would put a Bowline on one string and put a slipoery Sheetbend into the loop so I could remove it quickly. I like using the Bowline for the loop that way as it allows you to tension and secure quickly.

I’m not sure I’ve ever even owned a rope. I’m just amazed how anyone could remember how to tie a fancy knot. I’m doing good tying my boot laces.

you only need a few knots: most important in my mind is the alpine butterfly. you can do so much with just that one knot, it almost makes other knots pointless for general usage after that is a hanson knot for making sturdy but still untie-able endloops around a standing object you need a decent method of joining ropes: the zepplin bend is a good one, and is easy as easy gets beyond that its just different versions of square, overhand, and hitches learn whats useful to you, most important is to practice until you dont forget pish posh on the rest as so much window dressing

Knots are the spice of life! Thank you for the great display. I'm a bowman on a race boat, No one appreciates my knots and I'm just a learner! Amazing videos like yours might help teach us all.

I first learned knots at Ft Leonard Wood, Combat Enginerr AIT! Either learn it or do push ups! A great method for learning boring topics!

Fantastic video! You are legitimately one of the best people I’ve found on KZread when it comes to explaining and demonstrating knots.

I actually want to learn how to tie knots. Thanks for these videos!

You’re very welcome. Knot tying is really becoming a lost art these days. In my profession though, it is essential to know a wide variety of knots.

tHANK YOU FOR THIS DEMO, ON ALL OF THESE USEFUL KNOTTS!... PERHAPS, YOU COULD DO FOLLOW-UP VIDEOS,.. THERE ARE A LOT MORE KNOTS THAT ARE SIMPLE, AND USEFUL! I'M SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO TIE A PROPER "NOOSE"... IT COULD BE VERY USEFUL, WHEN "SHTF"!...

An excellent demonstration of these valuable knots…the best I have watched..thanks

Great video. Nice to see someone giving the zeppelin bend some love that and the double dragon are two of my fave knots.

Excellent rope instructions and descriptions, you have my subscription.

I've been following along for a couple of weeks--first with the goal of learning specific knots for a specific project--and now learning knots because it's fun. I used your Spar Hitch to secure my tomato pole to my house, and an Adjustable Grip Hitch to anchor another pole to the earth. I know they were successful because I did them quickly, the lines are still taut, and no one has noticed that I did anything. As for the tomatoes themselves, I've decided that best knot is the knot I need for the job--nothing more. So it's a Bowline for the tomato stem, and a wrap and 2 half hitches to secure the twine to the pole. That seems to be the best option because the standing end is already taut when I try to secure it to the pole, whereas most knots require some adjustment of the standing end to secure the knot. Any way, another classy presentation on knots. The background info on how the knots are used and on how you became interested in knots adds a lot to the commentary. You're a natural born teacher. Thanks for taking the time.

@@txtoolcrib No doubt. The world of knots gives us options. A place for starting seedlings, for example. Instead of an awkward table to trip over and store in the winter, think something like a swing, descending from the deck and secured by simple knots to raise and lower for full sun/partial shade according to the needs of the plants. Fall lettuce, for example, needs some sunlight, but full summer sun is too much for it. Raise for shade, lower for sun, and done. Meanwhile, the rabbits can't get to it, and winter storage will be nothing more than leaning the board against a garage wall for next year. I'll be looking into pullies for this job...

Have you heard of the Siberian hitch (or Evenk knot)? It's really easy to make and useful knot.

I have never seen the axe hitch, great knot!

A rope walks into a bar. The bartender says “didn’t you read the sign: we don’t serve ropes!?” So the rope curls up, messes up his hair and says “I’m a frayed knot”.

Used loop prusiks a lot, but never seen the endline version. Looks great!

My pleasure!

I have learned that the bowline knot can be used to join two ropes, make the "end that you feed into the loop" an end to another rope, make it extra long and then bowline tie that back to the first line again and the two are joined by two bowline knots with an open part in the middle

Several of these were new to me. I think I found one that I might use: The pipe hitch. I really enjoyed that you talked about using these knots on the job. For things that you needed to accomplish. As opposed to just messing around with knots like the rest of us! :) Thanks for the well made informative video.

As a fellow Texan, and an electrician, I really appreciate how you explain knots. There is a lot of productivity lost by people not knowing the correct knot for the correct occasion.

I'm Dutch so i'm going for the left to the right bowline .🙃🙂😉

💥👏🏼❤️😊. Excellent, thanks!

Thank you so much 🫶🏻

Thanks!

The cowboy bowline has the added benefit of having a higher breaking load as a btw.

Thats knot is used in the merchant ,that’s correct if short bit is on outside

Very interesting, thanks

It's worth showing how to tie the figure 8 the way a climber does, as that way you can actually use the loop to connect to something, like a harness.

I do have a specific video on how to tie the Retraced F8.

Great video! Only request would be a tad slower, i found it hard to keep up with some of the techniques and had to keep rewinding. I really appreciate you making the video

Do you see any reason why you can’t finish the pipe hitch with the rolling hitch instead of the clove hitch?

Only do it!!!

Good video - thanks. It might be helpful if you threw in some quick definitions of technical terms such as working end, standing end, bend, bight etc. I know what all these mean, but not everybody does.

Dad joke #1 @0:15 😳😂😂

Have you ever tried the icicle hitch? It's a relatively new knot. Is it better than pipe hitch?

When used to attach to another rope, I prefer the Midshipman's Hitch version (ABOK #1855, 1735) of the taut line hitch to the Rolling Hitch version (ABOK #.1856, 1734). It provides a better grip.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taut-line_hitch##1855 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_hitch#Rolling_Hitch_(2)_#1735

question sir, do you have a paracord trick to tie a big box to a small motorcycle?

The extra half hitch tied on the hammer handle: I worked with an arborist doing rigging work long ago, he referred to it as a "marl".. never heard it called that again. Can any old school ropers here confirm or deny?

Are you using an auto white balance because every time your hands came in or out of the scene the white balance jumped around. Great knots.

On the running bowline whats the difference of just tieing a bowline and then just pulling the line back through the hole to make a running bowline? Or am I making stuff up while playing with rope at the moment?

See the Halyard Bend, if the line only fits through once. Also, how he used the Bowline form to finish his Pipe Hitch. See also the Imitation Bowline, maybe finished w/a bight (slipped). If the line makes it through twice consider the Anchor Bend.

Why are those bowline done the wrong way ,short bit on the wrong side
