Portuguese bowline with a retraced

Portuguese bowline around two anchors with a retraced bight. Used for many applications such as Guying an artificial high directional like the Arizona Vortex and creating an equalizing anchor point

Great Scott what a knot

[@69adrummer]

Damn that's cool!!
Well done!!

That’s a P-18 you’re tying to, good video.

[@uncut125f]

A few years ago I remember seeing this video and practicing a lot. Your method is very nice and neat. :)

[@jeffm9227]

Ryan, it would be nice to see some examples of how you can use the retrace loop.

[@RockLobster2000]

Thank you for sharing. I do have a question: when you make the marlin spike do you pass it over both lines? It would help a close up was shown on the key parts.

Hey Ryan- Great video, clear instructions, good job. As before, I'd be concerned about loading the Yosemite finish. Have you pull-tested this enough times for a good sample size to see what the breaking strength is, and where it fails? If it fails along either loop, that common strand may lead to a catastrophic failure. Check with other high angle SAR groups. Please be sure to get some hard data with realistic loads (5-10,000 lb-f) before putting anyone's life on this.

@@HollywoodBeachBoy Thanks, Ryan. I always enjoy test data. Unfortunately I didn't see any pull-test diagrams, and it wasn't clear to me where they pulled on the forward-facing loop formed by the double-strand Yosemite finish. I'll give it another read. The Y-finish is typically not loaded on a normal bowline b/c it pulls the knot out of shape. Maybe the extra turns of this Portuguese bowline holds the knot's shape when loadung the Y-finish? Where does the test paper say they loaded the Yosemite? Thanks!

[@jeremiahbauman7229]

@@larryborshard7824 I have the same concerns, what have you found if anything about the testing on this?

[@TormodSteinsholt]

Nice vid. I think the last move is called "Yosemite" finish.

[@campovertical1388]

good night very good warrior this anchoring. my question would be about the end of the knot what would be the idea of ​​unloading the knot? strong hug brother

[@uncut125f]

this way really helped me a lot

[@Perktube1]

That is one rope-hungry knot.

[@trevethan82319841]

or you could use 2 calibinas and then make the same knot

The camera is too far away. Need close up of what you are doing. :-(

[@chds5pyc27]

Don't be so hard on your own.

[@donscott60]

Terrible video because your hands are blocking the view of the knot while tying it and there should be a zoom in on the knot and the finished knot. You cannot see all the ends and running part of the entire rope while tying the knot because they are near the floor which is not in the video so you're not sure as a viewer where the entire rope is while you're tying the knot

[@tdhartman]

Easy there, Spielberg; this cat didn't make the damn video so you can bust his chops on camera angles. He was being helpful and demonstrating a simple knot using two anchors. If you require as much clarification as your comment implies; perhaps rope work isn't your calling. Also, you can pause and adjust the video's speed if you start to get fussy or overwhelmed.
