    Very surprised your teaching a bowline instead of a cinching knot in this demo

    Simple answer is the bowline is one of the three knots in the ‘three knot system’ students have to learn and demonstrate this in their proficiency assessment.

    @@pershorecollegearboriculture very interesting to hear how you do it. We teach it as okay for a snap, but not a carabiner. Because the carabiner can rotate, bowline can catch the gate, possibly side loading or even opening it. I prefer to teach the scaffold knot for this, but I’m not teaching for an exam. Thanks for the discussion.
