Brent can I also say how great it was that you took the time to show us how you break the knot down/reverse engineer it, it has really helped me to understand the knot better and will be an amazing asset for future, cheers.
Perfect knot video mate. Clear, applicable examples, enough repetition to help it sink in, but not become repetitive... and illustrating the common faults. Please keep doing these for us, and much appreciated.
Almost like this guy is showing you a magic trick and revealing it at the same time. Then as he reveals how he did the trick you can’t help but respond “whoa that’s another cool trick”
I'm very impressed with your demonstration. Great job. It seems to me that the Portuguese bowline is easier to form with a long standing part of the rope .
It's funny, I learned to tie the SB on the bight and forgot it multiple times as I haven't seen any interesting usecase for it. But tying it around a ladder makes so much more sense; also is so much clearer why it's called a bowline.
1:30 If you wanted to increase the friction between the left and right loops, you could twist a loop into the middle of the connecting/common line, and thread the standing end and working end through it.
At the end of ski and snowboarding season I always have to find a place for the boots. Can you come up with a better solution than stringing all the boots on a rope?
9:35 There's a simpler way for this method that only involves pulling bites up through other bites and doesn't need to flip things over. 1. At the midpoint of your line, cross the ends together leaving a loop in your hands. 2. Pull a bite up in each line through this loop and twist them into a loop. 3. There's only 1 line under each new loop which can be pulled up through and will form the loops of the Spanish bowline.
Great video, as usual, thanks! How would you compare the characteristics of the Spanish bowline with the Portuguese bowline? Offhand, it seems while they both have adjustable loops, the Portuguese isn't able to tighten to stop the loops from being adjustable, is that right? Anything else that is noteworthy?
Can you give us a stable quick toggle for DSLR strap. Something quick and easy to take on and off like peak design anchor links. I have a good strap but attaching and detaching is tedious without an easy toggle
I understand this video is about a specific knot. It was illustrated nicely. But why would you use this knot for tasks like lifting a ladder? Isn't an axle hitch much easier to tie, untie, and remember how? Even with the axle hitch, it's questionable whether or not having two points around the ladder would be helpful. If not, you could just use a backhand hitch or anchor hitch instead. The axle hitch is quite easy and adjustable. It comes apart quickly as well. I really like knots. But I try to keep my personal inventory small so that I can actually use the knots when I need them for real purposes. The axle hitch is my go to knot for two points of contact.
If I'm standing in a tree and I want to just tie a rope to a limb to lower a bag to the ground then climb down and remove rope from the limb at ground level. Is there a knot that makes thos possible
@First_Class_Amateur No! I watch a video of how to lower back pack and with one small dip the rope released and the person could use the rope again. I was wondering if you climb down the rope and then release the rope from wherever you had it secured at top
There is- not sure where I learned this or if I had a little self invention- but you wanna use a mid line loop like the alpine butterfly. 1) have the rope over the branch with the two ends hanging to the ground 2) alpine butterfly in the middle near the branch 3) stick the other line through the loop 4) cinch. You should have one line cinched up to the branch, and the other hanging down. 5) use the cinched line to climb down 6) use the other line to pull the rope through back down to you
When you are showing how to tie the Spanish Bowline over an object @ 6:04. Is there any reason you couldn't loop your ends over the object first then just tie your knot? Seems like that would be easier than reverse engineering the knot so you can tie it in reverse.

The last example was an excellent variation. Like magic!

This is great. I like that you not only show how to tie it, but how to learn to tie it, as well. 👍
I have owned this book for many years. They were practically giving it away at Border's Books before they went out of business.
That was supercool and useful. I tie bowlines everyday as part of my job so I got this easily. Dig the channel!
my man coming through in the last 60 seconds! Exactly what I was hoping to see thank you!
I came , I saw, I conquered and now I know how to tie a Spanish Bowline, kudos my man
The last no access to the rope ends is the best demo 👍
the practice method is very useful, thanks for including it
This was an excellent video. Thank you so much. I will learn from this and really learn!
That last part was mind-blowing.
Almost like this guy is showing you a magic trick and revealing it at the same time. Then as he reveals how he did the trick you can’t help but respond “whoa that’s another cool trick”
used to hang an onion drying rack of all things, thank you for the helpful and clear tutorial :)
I'm very impressed with your demonstration. Great job. It seems to me that the Portuguese bowline is easier to form with a long standing part of the rope .
I used this through two eyelets on a tarp to secure over the back of an outboard motor. Very satisfying knot to tie
You do a great job explaining and therefore you have great videos
Excellent demonstration and tutorials. ABOK 202 FTW
This is great..really good tutorial 👊
Awesome video! I like how you cover all the basis!
I remember this knot by only "over and over and over".
So smart content, I like this videos very much.
Great book. ABOK is the best!

Thanks for this knoy sir!!! I needed and dont now!!😅
This is just a great video
Great knot thanks

Thanks for sharing, I will hang my ladder using this knot.

I would love to own that book, but it is pretty pricey.
This can be used for other things too including shoes and maybe even clothes I guess too.
Can this be done with a double alpine butterfly [too] I wonder? 🤔

took me a whole day to do this through the ladder properly why is it so hard ??????????????????
Cool

The Spanish bowline with a bowline farther along the working end makes an improvised bosun's chair.
Awesome
Nice vid! What purpose does it serve though? Why would you use it?
Cool knot, but what is the use of this w the ladder,?

Or just use a axel hitch
What if only 1 tag line is used?
If I'm standing in a tree and I want to just tie a rope to a limb to lower a bag to the ground then climb down and remove rope from the limb at ground level. Is there a knot that makes thos possible
Are you using the rope to climb down too?
@First_Class_Amateur No! I watch a video of how to lower back pack and with one small dip the rope released and the person could use the rope again. I was wondering if you climb down the rope and then release the rope from wherever you had it secured at top

What does this knot entail on a ladder tho? I’m not familiar with it enough?? Anyone
I could tie an alpine butterfly in about 5 seconds and do the same thing. 😁
