excellent way to arrive at the bottle sling!! I usually go the rabbit ears way . this is a cool extension of the bowline and it is so quick!! Thank you.
Yep this is a good method. I have recently seen another quick method, where the loop is tied first. Must do a video on that soonish. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
My friend you are an amazing instructor. Tying knots has always intimated me. As I Firefighter and rescue personal. I had to know them and tie at any point of my shift and on the rescue or scene was not the time to refresh. It had to be muscle memory. You have really made it more simpler. I am very and ever grateful, sir. You are a God send. Please continue your simple knowledge. You really care and it shows. Thank you so much. My friend. Also what separates you from every other tiyer is you are open for different ways and you are not so proud you can take constructed criticism and use it to make your knots better. Thats how I am. I am always looking for a better and easier ways to do something, but I make sure it's safe. Thank you my friend. I hope somehow our paths cross in life and I can shake your hand and talk knotting.
Many thanks for your kind words.............. I figure though, you now owe me 50% of your salary 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I didn't try the more complicsted versions I have seen! This method is super easy and a brilliant explanation using the most learned knot, the bowline. I try to follow all of your videos because of your simple explanations!!KEP THEM COMING PLEASE!!!
Many thanks Terry, glad to hear that I am still helping people to learn how to tie knots. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I think you will have to do common whipping and then use a needle to do the lines. You may be interested int his post: igkt-solent.co.uk/whipping-rope/
@@KnottingKnots i have already seen your whipping videos the problem is i want to do a sailmaker whipping on a braided rope and not on the regular 3 stranded rope...... i wasn't able to find any video of someone doing that
That is better than the other way! I've already learned the previous way, but this way puts no torsion on the paracord handle the way the old method does. 😉
I just recently stumbled onto (knotting? knotcraft?) knot tying, and I have to say it's a very rewarding skill set/field of study, especially when someone like you explains how to build knowledge on knowledge so that one knot becomes many knots with simple variations. This one can be a stack of 3 knots: 1. Marlinspike Hitch becomes 2. Bowline becomes 3. Adjustable bottle sling/Jug sling.
Way easier! You are so skilled at teaching and explaining these knots. I think if you can show someone how to tie knots you can show them pretty much anything in a way they would understand. I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos I'm learning a lot!
I recently read some articles saying that plastic containers will leech chemicals into whatever is in the container, so I switched to using a glass gallon jar to hold my tea. It used to have pickles in it so it had no handle and I worried about dropping it. Using this video and a dollars worth of paracord I made a nice sturdy handle for it. Thanks!
Best and easiest way undoubtedly. Also shows real knot engineering I site - for most people like myself just to learn what they see isn't always easy to say nothing of thinking of a new way. Thanks a lot.
This is AWESOME!! So much easier than the two bights method. I love the bottle sling, but always have to look up how to tie it when I use it. I never new it was as simple as adding a few more wraps to the bowline. Thank you!
OMG, thanks! That's what I needed to understand this knot. On your channel I found 2 different ways of tying it in addition to the one I already knew. And that last one with bowline was wonderful. Most funny thing is that I was tought a bowline knot as a rescue knot for sailing. My dad tought me when I was a kid and then we all had to pass the exam of tying it around ourselves with other person tugging the line, when I was learning for sailor permissions. And I still tie this knot like I would do this around myself 😁
It is funny how knots bring back memories of you and your father 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots A love for water activities like sailing, swimming, kayaking were in my family since I remember. And one part of those activities is tying knots. I guess that's why I love so much industrial climbing which I had to learn 6 years ago when I started to work seriously in high bay warehouse maintenance. I think that knowing at least a few essential knots and their uses should be taught at school on practical classes. It takes just a few hours of practice and a kid will get a useful skill for the rest of life. 😉 Last summer, I did a few hours "buschraft" trip for some kids in my area. We set up a tarp, I tought them how to use a knife and make some pegs, we also had some fun with ropes and I tought them this "rescue knot" in the same way my dad taught me. Last thing we did is making fire with fire bow and magnesium rod. I hope to get a bit more time this year and make a bit more of such trips, especially because kids were asking for another one. I found a short with tying the rescue knot. I guess because it's a firefighter, he pushes his tying hand way too deep into the loop. During sailing camp we were taught to never push wrist into the loop, because in the water rope can be pulled all the time and loop can tighten around wrist and create a very dangerous situation. But the basic principles are the same: th-cam.com/users/shorts9Dr1OokUuoc
Ah yes, this is the revised video. My previous one was so complicated, therefore making it a knot you did not want to learn. However, with this one, you know it if you know the Bowline. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
I'm a practical knotter, primarily, but I do enjoy all sorts of knotting/splicing. When my son was younger, I worked with the boy scouts, and still enjoy camping/trekking. My preferred sleeping arrangement in the woods is a jungle hammock, so lots of opportunities for ropework there. :) Generally I use a few tried-and true knots, but am always happy to learn new ones.that are better than old ones, and found your channel when learning Farrimond Friction Hitch, which I now prefer to the Midshipman's Tautline...easier to take down, and holds better! Cheers for all the great videos!!!
It is funny how sometimes a difficult knot works easier than a simple variation. I also find that sometimes I lay the strands in certain ways, when there is really no need??
Yes, I just figured that the last time I did this knot, who on earth would want to learn something so complicated. Especially when a Poachers noose or Scaffold knot would suffice. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Interesting way of tying it! I usually tie is the good ol' Ashley way, but this seems very nice as well, especially since it has only a few steps more than a bowline knot. Keep up the good work! Mark
Hello Mark, good to see you back here leaving a comment. I usually start a Bowline by tying the Marlin Spike Hitch and then forming the Bowline. I find this method so quick and easy and then just go on the create the jug sling. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks very simple to understand and was able to redo the result after only watching the first run thru of how to tie it...again thanks I'm a lil rusty on my knot tying and this was super simple and to the point
@@yourekittenme. There are a few videos out there on lashing etc. Maybe the Transom Knot would help: th-cam.com/video/xZ2cdHcjvZE/w-d-xo.html Another way that I have found to lash poles together, is use a couple of Canadian Jam Knots as they bind really tightly and less fuss: th-cam.com/video/fOWue9PhSBQ/w-d-xo.html
G’day, thanks for enlightening me to the bowline method, however there is a mistake at 7:30. You go under under over, but it should be over under over. Your way doesn’t result in an symmetrical knot but the correction does and ends up the same as the other method.
Wow, I did this 4 years ago and I think you are the first to spot an error. I am in the process of updating old videos, so hopefully the new one will be better. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Good way of tying this knot ,I can make a similar knot from the constrictor knot which is slightly different to this but can still be made in the bight.
It's a good way to tie it. I'm still used to the old way I learned from Jeoffery Budsworth's Tough and Versatile Knots. I've used it several times. A great knot.
Nice explanation, best I have seen so far. The jug sling is a great but not an easy one to tie on the fly it seems, needs to be laid out like you have here. I have a know I use instead (not sure if it's an official knot, never seen it anywhere else) that is very similar but simpler and is tied in the hand starting off a larks head, it accomplishes pretty much the same thing as the jug sling, plenty secure if you have a decent lip on your bottle.
@@caskwith I have a set of knots in my arsenal, however, am always willing to try all knots at least once. Sometimes you stumble across one that is even better, so that is added to the collection.
I love it! On my beer bottle, either #37 bank line (tarred nylon) or jute twine works a bit better. I could get the paracord to slip out of thread or two in the neck but I could not get either the jute or bank line to do so. Perfect!
I must add that my test was unfair in that I yanked on the loop quite hard when the loop was directly above the bottle. The threads of the bottle are a bit smaller than the paracord.
Ha! It was after! Try carrying a bottle full of beer around on a tether while walking. The beer doesn't like it and you will not either when you open it. But water is benign.
This actually works on the flip side too. I made a cap valve to use on an upside down 3L water jug. This sling provided optimum results in hanging the jug from the bottom. Most plastic water bottles have ridged indentations, and the paracord slips right in these and holds quite well
I just commented on your other video but this is even better! I'm a Guide leader and the Guides already know the bowline so this is a super-handy way to learn the bottle sling. Thank you =D
Oh, think how dismayed I was when I found an even easier way of doing it. Just to let you know that I am glad that you popped over and left a comment. I assume that you are a practical knotter?
I've found that knots sometimes comes in 3 ,s this is 2 of them the 3rd is the man harness knot as you can easy convert any of the 3 into one or the other as I find it easier to make the jug sling from a man harness knot .
Glad that you liked it, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. If you know the Bowline, there is an easier version of the knot here: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html
It is helpful to start with a well known knot, as you have in this video, as a basis for the bottle sling. I have an alternate method of tying this knot that I think is easier. Is there a way that I can share it with you?
Sir, thanks a lot for this series of knotting videos. I once saw one explaining how to tie two bottles together which I cann't find any more. Perhaps You can help out. Sincerely Karl
Interesting that another video showed a very easy way to do this very knot. You demonstrated with a straight rope, the other video demonstrated with a closed loop of rope. Ther is more than one way to skin a cat, LOL
Yes, yes, I love your thinking!! You could end up with something like these game carriers? goo.gl/rvvx7f Be a bit heavy though carrying a nights supply of beer?
FlyerOneFPV I'm not sure if it's a British thing but I've heard it pronounced both Bolin and Bow- line. Maybe a long time ago General Bolin put a bow in a line.
Yep, I always get kicked for saying the Bowline in a particular way. Actually, I changed my pronunciation for this video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, much appreciated.
Wrong. This knot was not used to hold a bottle in water to keep it cool. This was used on unglazed narrow necked vessels which were filled with water. These were then hung where they could swing freely. The water seeped out very slowly and wet the outside of the vessels. The swinging motion helped the water evaporate cooling the contents even in the warmest climates.
and the working end goes behind the standing end here's the working end that is going behind the standing end and this is the standing and this is the working end because the working end is here and it is going behind the standing end which is here the standing end which is the standing end and the working end which is going here the standing end working end
Not sure what you mean mate? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
I don't think I've ever seen such a long winded way to tie this knot, and you call it the quick tie method? Try either an overhand loop under an overhand loop as in tying a clove hitch but tuck one side of each loop through the other to form the handles or if you want more constriction/grip three loops as in the jury rig knot but only keep two of the loops for handles, btw, it capsizes into a sheepshank. Both only take seconds to tie, sailors haven't the time!
Hey if you follow the link in the video, you will see an even longer method ;-) looks like I will have to do a revised version at a later date. "Sailors haven't the time" .... they have enough time for rum, bum and baccy ☠ ☠ ☠
Richard D I agree what you say about this being long winded. I do not concur with your idea that other knots are faster and equally well suited for the task when I manage to tie it in about 12 seconds which is even kind of sluggish with the ABOK method or the Engelsk Säckknop (Video in YT). And I had my struggle with it in the beginning. The whole trick is getting to know the structure or topology of the knot in depth and that takes quite some time and experience of tying it in different ways. As interesting as I find this method shown here and the connection to the bowlines, it will probably not become my go to method for it. Knowing it may though be instrumental in understanding knot topology better.

Glad that you liked it, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. If you know the Bowline, there is an easier version of the knot here: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html
It is helpful to start with a well known knot, as you have in this video, as a basis for the bottle sling. I have an alternate method of tying this knot that I think is easier. Is there a way that I can share it with you?
Yes of course, you can either direct me to a video on TH-cam, or you may be able to drag and drop a video here: goo.gl/mQgf8E

Sir, thanks a lot for this series of knotting videos. I once saw one explaining how to tie two bottles together which I cann't find any more. Perhaps You can help out.
Sincerely Karl
Not sure that I know that one. If I find it, I will get back to you.

Has the stacking jars knot. Basically one simple bucket sling on top of the other.
winner!
Yes, I too loved this one when I found it 😉 😉 😉
Cheers Mate!
Ha! Who knew it was related so closely to the bowline? It's like two siblings separated at birth discovering each other on a reality show. 😉
I use this to tie doorknobs open
Just goes to show that the name of a knot, does not prevent it from being used for other purposes! Brilliant James.

Interesting that another video showed a very easy way to do this very knot. You demonstrated with a straight rope, the other video demonstrated with a closed loop of rope. Ther is more than one way to skin a cat, LOL
Yep, especially when you have just uploaded a video, you find another or better way of doing it 😉 😉 😉
If you tie two in succession, you can carry two bottles with a handle between.
Yes, yes, I love your thinking!! You could end up with something like these game carriers? goo.gl/rvvx7f Be a bit heavy though carrying a nights supply of beer?
Johnny Debt I was carrying two large bottles of soda.. so all good.
I don't know why they way you say bowline annoys me.
FlyerOneFPV I'm not sure if it's a British thing but I've heard it pronounced both Bolin and Bow- line. Maybe a long time ago General Bolin put a bow in a line.
Yep, I always get kicked for saying the Bowline in a particular way. Actually, I changed my pronunciation for this video. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, much appreciated.
Complicated way to hold a bottle..a simple slip knot is fast..adjustable..easy
👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Wrong. This knot was not used to hold a bottle in water to keep it cool. This was used on unglazed narrow necked vessels which were filled with water. These were then hung where they could swing freely. The water seeped out very slowly and wet the outside of the vessels. The swinging motion helped the water evaporate cooling the contents even in the warmest climates.
Yep, you are probably right............... Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
and the working end goes behind the standing end here's the working end that is going behind the standing end and this is the standing and this is the working end because the working end is here and it is going behind the standing end which is here the standing end which is the standing end and the working end which is going here the standing end working end
What are you doing alone? Show off.
Not sure what you mean mate? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
I don't think I've ever seen such a long winded way to tie this knot, and you call it the quick tie method? Try either an overhand loop under an overhand loop as in tying a clove hitch but tuck one side of each loop through the other to form the handles or if you want more constriction/grip three loops as in the jury rig knot but only keep two of the loops for handles, btw, it capsizes into a sheepshank. Both only take seconds to tie, sailors haven't the time!
Hey if you follow the link in the video, you will see an even longer method ;-) looks like I will have to do a revised version at a later date. "Sailors haven't the time" .... they have enough time for rum, bum and baccy ☠ ☠ ☠
Richard D I agree what you say about this being long winded. I do not concur with your idea that other knots are faster and equally well suited for the task when I manage to tie it in about 12 seconds which is even kind of sluggish with the ABOK method or the Engelsk Säckknop (Video in YT). And I had my struggle with it in the beginning. The whole trick is getting to know the structure or topology of the knot in depth and that takes quite some time and experience of tying it in different ways. As interesting as I find this method shown here and the connection to the bowlines, it will probably not become my go to method for it. Knowing it may though be instrumental in understanding knot topology better.
