Scratching my head the whole tone trying to figure out when it's going to turn into the "dragon" bowline... and then you got me....

[@elijahpetrill2011]

Ive been had. I guess i can tie a bowline now

[@austincrane1465]

Never gets old.

[@craigscott1436]

Classic! Actually one of the better explanations of how to tie a bowline I have seen.

[@elvagar]

The best one yet ... I have learned something and had a laugh :)

[@mbbag1980]

Ahh, you fooled me.

[@JoeKunsch]

So I was in the Navy, and immediately laughed when I saw this title.

[@fatkorn]

You one dem boyscouts w/jokes

[@sleekeditingco8741]

I was so keen for a new knot I can't believe you got me with this... first April fools vid this year that got me.

[@derekatwood6236]

You owe me 3:42 of my life back!!! 😂😂😂
I didn't know about saddling a dead horse though, that was good info!

[@BetaClimbers]

I’m keeping it! Yeah I should test that out, it’s what I was always taught.

[@BrandonWendt2]

The last thing I need is to learn another knot. So I'm kinda glad that it was a joke.

[@tristanlasley8030]

That'll learn em

[@rdyar1828]

I respected you my dude

[@Hendershot93]

That’s great!

[@testboga5991]

Super cool

[@loveroos627]

[@vikingboer756]

Glad I read the comments first

[@coolerman9798]

Really enjoy all the videos I’ve been climbing since i was a kid in east ky i was the weird kid in school always reading guide books and talking about climbing lol my early gear came from the hardware store lol but still alive also done rope access work in deep mine shafts for work don’t choke a dead horse heard that one a-lot keep up the great vids

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Every rock climber needs to know this. Great demonstration.

[@darkenergy7904]

I knew this one and use it on newer sailors on my team, but I never new how far it spread. I was not disappointed when I looked it up. Good video my man

[@StoneUFO]

classic

[@dr.badass702]

Next April 1st you should do the Flying Bowline!

[@rickhaller3328]

Was this originally done on April Fool’s Day ? It made me laugh. 😂🤣😂😁

[@magwitch]

I didn't know about the saddling a dead horse bit, guess that's the/another reason why we're encouraged to tie a stopper knot. cheers man

[@magwitch]

*Ties knot with eyes shut. Good to know I've been doing it the right way all these years

[@Cardsandstoagies]

Classic

[@paulmacpherson-wildman4354]

I want to be angry, finding this way after April fools, but I still learned that I've been saddling a dead horse this whole time.

[@archer242424]

Haha such a frickin jerk dude. April's fool joke well received 😂😂, that was great

[@79istp]

It's called the drag-on "bow lihn" to be precise. Bow-LiN. say it. bow. lin. 😁

[@ThePhil1187]

I think the Dragon Figure 8 is much stronger!

[@dagnabbitt1158]

Tracks In The Sand by
Peter Dragon...... Dragon Bowline.

[@neil57able1]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@craigbryant261]

lmao

[@dunklezwiebel]

But the bowline doesnt slip, is just breaks the rope. which shouldnt be different with either way of tying it. But i learned that the left handed Bowline is worse because the tail can be pushed back inside the knot by the thing you fastened it to. So the right handed bowline is recommended.

[@BetaClimbers]

I’ll have to make a follow video on that. I think it depends on the type of rope some ropes are more prone to slippage.

[@TheMule71]

There's a wikipedia page dedicated to the "cowboy", or Dutch, bowline. It says there isn't much difference, unless you load the loop itself (which I think is something the bowline is not designed for).

[@aumatt8021]

☠️

[@BrighamS_77]

First

[@JoBianco]

2:07 We need a Ryan Jinks pull test on that one... just from the visual it looks like it is indeed pinching the tail (though I agree I have never tied one that way)

[@JoBianco]

Some further research, seems to be called a "left-handed bowline" and still functions the same... Would be interested to hear other's thoughts

[@JoBianco]

@howNOT2

[@eyescreamcake]

"Cowboy bowline" is supposedly just as strong as a regular, and better in some applications

[@imzackson]

Lol!!!

[@muchmore344]

I guess that part that the bowline is weaker if tied the "wrong" way has to be tested.!?.! @hownot2

[@thomchambers6469]

hahahaha

[@joseallende9889]

Jajajajajajajajajajajjajajajaajaj

[@mariocarlin9544]

It's not a dragon it's a troll.

[@eyescreamcake]

😒

[@BetaClimbers]

🤣

[@littlemoo52]

The bowline.
The running bowline.
The dragon bowline, which is to just tie a bowline and drag it on the ground behind you.
A corny joke I heard from an old tree guy.

[@wayneswildworld]

Click bait 👎

[@Jaxe2.0]

Complete waste of time!
