Normally I would not say anything but I just watched about ten other "how to" tie a bowline knot videos and I just went away frustrated. Your video actually taught me to tie a bowline. Great job and thanks so much. I don't feel like a dummy anymore.
I did this knot hundreds of times back on the college sailing crew. Like so many others here, I didn't need to tie it for decades and completely forgot. Then when I needed it, I found you. This former sailor thanks you, sir!
The very best explanation I've seen. I've done this knot dozens of times before but always struggle to remember which way the loop goes and which hole I'm coming back through. For the first time, I know exactly what I'm doing.
I agree that I've watched at least ten other videos & the instructions in this one is by far the easiest to understand. I tied one along with the video one time, paused the video and was able to successfully tie it again. First time ever!
Hope this comment helps some of you because I struggled with this simple knot because I kept thinking the ORIGINAL LOOP I made was going to end up being the final Bowline loop. NO! That first loop you make @0:32, forget about it, it goes away and the loop you make when you bring up the main line creating the actual final loop @0:44 - anyway, this is what made the knot very easy for me.
Next level: For my swift water rescue certification, you tread water as a boat goes buy and throws you a rope. As the boat continues by, you grab the rope with one hand, don’t let go and with the other hand secure the rope around your waist with a bowline before the boat pulls away again, and yes, it is possible to tie a bowline with one hand.
I learned this knot as a Boy Scout used it frequently during my service in the British Army then had no occasion to use until now at the age of 71 while cutting some trees back from my side of property’s boundary, and guess what I had forgotten how to do it. Your video explained in such a manner that I could not believe I had forgotten how it goes. Thanks a lot mate for sharing I shall not forget the process from now on. Normski
My late granddad taught me this knot when he was alive, except I forgot how to tie it over the last decade. This was a great way to learn the knot again and make an emotional connection with him at the same time. Can’t thank you enough!
I could not get my head around this knot. I am dyslexic so struggle with things like this but you video NAILED it for me. Thanks so much. I won't look such a ditz at sailing class tomorrow
Hey, this might sound weird but do you know where I could buy the rope you are using in this video? It would be perfect for a demonstration I am planning for scouting. Thanks!
Great instructions and visual....to help remember the steps....think, the rabbit comes up thru the hole and then runs around the tree and then back into his hole....thanks for the video
Simplified: The rabbit comes up the hole, goes around the tree, and goes back down the hole. Got it? That's how my uncle, a scout master, showed me when I was 10, and it stuck with me.
Thank you Michael Rappaport for the demonstration. I thought your character in friends was kinda annoying, but I think you’re a funny guy, maybe the character was just written poorly. Idk. To be honest, I mostly tune out the Phoebe storylines anyway. We get it, you’re quirky and your mom’s dead. Chandler and Monica were the heart and soul of that show. RIP Matthew Perry.
In what world do you tie knots with the rope hanging from above? Show how to tie knots in a real world environment, with the rope hanging from your hand. Worthless.

Best video on the bowline. Couldn’t get it watching 10 other guys before this one.
Best description I've seen out of many.
The very best explanation I've seen. I've done this knot dozens of times before but always struggle to remember which way the loop goes and which hole I'm coming back through. For the first time, I know exactly what I'm doing.
you sir are the man. watched so many other videos this is BY FAR the quickest and easiest demo on the bowline
I agree that I've watched at least ten other videos & the instructions in this one is by far the easiest to understand. I tied one along with the video one time, paused the video and was able to successfully tie it again. First time ever!
Thank you so very much for showing me how to tie this knot. I could understand you better than anyone else.

This is the best video on tying a boling knot.

Best video I've seen on this specific knot!!! Great job
Others are hard but yours is great
Thanks bro. Simple and straight to the point.

Bravo to your explanations
ending your suffering
Awesome video....thank you!😊
Bro, this helped, now when I get to scouts I can get through the scout master conference and become first class
Thank You So Much 🙏😊
I finally can put it on my neck after hearing Baby Shark for 12 Straight Hours
Hey man this bowline helped me get the eagle scout
I have my star board of review in a couple weeks 😭
This video saved me
Thanks man, awesome video, great work.
thank you for this video rally helped me out
Hey, this might sound weird but do you know where I could buy the rope you are using in this video? It would be perfect for a demonstration I am planning for scouting. Thanks!
Brennan Dodds I think it’s just a shoelace with tape on the end.
Great instructions and visual....to help remember the steps....think, the rabbit comes up thru the hole and then runs around the tree and then back into his hole....thanks for the video
The rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and then goes back in the hole.
Спасибо! Три раза пересматривал, пока дошло 😊.
this is a good way to do it
Thank you! This video helped me so much.
Simplified: The rabbit comes up the hole, goes around the tree, and goes back down the hole. Got it? That's how my uncle, a scout master, showed me when I was 10, and it stuck with me.
Very inspiring
Can you make a video on how to untie it?
Thanks for precisely shown video thank you very much
Thanks, really clear and informative
It took me a few try’s but when I got it it just clicked thanks this really helped
Just need quite a bit more tail on that dead end. Good video
You started out great nice and slow and then just speed thru about midway thru
Very useful video! Thank you!
great video, I watched 5 other ones before I figured it out first try with this..Thanks!
Thank you so much
Tie it to an OBJECT. the view will be different?
Like a neck
When one pulls on the end, it tugs on the loop and doesn’t work.
It isn’t pronounced “bow-line”, it’s “bo-lin”
thanks 😌
Nicely demonstrated- thanks
Thanks
Thanks.
Best
More knots !
Good
its all fun and games until 1:01
Change headlight inn2017 Ram
after you make the knot about 10 times.... do it with your eyes closed for re-enforcement
It’s reinforcement not re-enforcement (that’s not even a word)
@@helpfulcommenter Looks like you understood the statement (misspelling and all).... thanks "snappy-cappy-dusty"!
What happened to the rabbit, hole and tree......
Good instruction but the word is pronounced "bo-lin" even though it looks like it should be "bo-line"
Thank you Michael Rappaport for the demonstration. I thought your character in friends was kinda annoying, but I think you’re a funny guy, maybe the character was just written poorly. Idk. To be honest, I mostly tune out the Phoebe storylines anyway. We get it, you’re quirky and your mom’s dead. Chandler and Monica were the heart and soul of that show. RIP Matthew Perry.
In the real world you mostly tie a bowline while it is already around a pole, line, whatever. This looks awkward.
BO LIN not BOW LINE

In what world do you tie knots with the rope hanging from above? Show how to tie knots in a real world environment, with the rope hanging from your hand. Worthless.
😮😮😮😂😂❤❤❤
Waste of time as there's much easier methods. Plus, it's pronounced Bow-lin.
1st lol
