The Three Knot System
Essential knowledge when undergoing 003922 - City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate of Competence in Tree Climbing and Aerial Rescue. This three knot system comprised of the Blakes Hitch, the Bowline and an appropriate stopper knot.

Thanks
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 would you use that with a carabiner or just a snap? I’m in the US, so not familiar with your exams.

@@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.

@@woodpeckerarborist I’m all fairness, not many people use this system these days, it is still a requirement to know how to tie it though, useful to know as a backup
