Will give this different method a try. In Boy Scouts, back in the 60's, I had trouble learning this knot. Now at 70 years, sometimes I still have trouble with it. I guess I just don't use it often enough.
Good stuff ! I always learn new techniques to tying knots when I watch your videos. I’d like to see you integrate some applications into these knots for different uses .
It is if the standing part is running away from you. Some people mess up if you're tying around a tree or running bowline etc. This works for all bowline methods. Even water bowline if you fold two loops over the bight.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia I live on a sailboat, so have plenty of occasions that need a bowline. I'm going to work this method and see how the muscle memory works out. Gonna check out your trucker's hitch video next and see what nuggets are there. Again, thanks for sharing.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustraliato add to this method: If you feed the working end through the slipknot twice, you get a double bowline, if you make a double slipknot by repeating step 2 you get a water bowline. This is something i noticed when exploring this method of tying it. Thanks again
Just a few videos in after subscribing. Phenomenal stuff. You aussies have a way of taking a time proven method and improving on it. Simplicity at its finest. 👍👍🇺🇸
Tend to forget all the tricks, so every time I can go, have to look ‘m up again. Your methods though, are so clear and well explained they really stick! Thanks and cheers! ✌🏼
Great channel! With the tail on the inside, you can then finish it out into a Yosimite tie-off. Makes makes for a beautiful safety knot, and gets the bitter end out of your loop!
it's important to put the twist on the working end in relation to the bight, otherwise it forms something else (i know it was mentioned, i just wanted to emphasize it more)
Hi, yet again a great video to explain a simple explanation of how to tie a bowline. Although it's a knot of second nature to me, I am sure a lot of people will find it useful. Thanks pom John
I always messed up on the twist and fold; I would loop the working end around and then feed it through which would screw it up. This is so simple; cheers mate 🍻
To tie an eskimo bowline I bring the line clockwise around the object that Im tying to, then I use the overhand flip method to tie it and I mostly tie it to be a quick release.
To see how I tie the modified siberian hitch checkout the siberian hitch video in my knots playlist and the way I tie it is shown at the end of the video. And to tie a uni knot I bring the line clockwise around the object that I'm tying to, then I start off like I'm going to tie a siberian hitch, but instead of putting a bight through the loop, I pass the tag end through the loop about 3 or 4 times in order to make a uni knot. And a uni knot can be used in place of the poachers knot.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia there are some knots in my knots playlist that you might look at the title of the video and say, I already know that knot. But if you watch the videos then you will find out that the knots are tied in a better way then normal.
During RIP (US Army Ranger Indictrination Program) we were taught several knots that had to be tied a specific way. The end of the line bowline was one of them. The time allowed was 15 sec. By their method I could do it in 7sec every time. The other was a safety line which is a bowline around your chest. This is a little more difficult but I got it in about 13sec after practice. I used these knots regularly mostly when doing S.P.I.E.S. as safety line should your harness or the D ring on rope fail. I have never seen it tied the Army way anywhere, but it is so burned into my brain, I will never be able to change. PS. Tail always inside for US with 3/8" twisted static line 12'-14' long with steel snap link/carabiner/oval whatever you call it.
Copy that. I was also trained one handed around the waist blindfolded with left and right hand. Hopefully I'm never in a position to need that one. Thanks for watching and thanks for your service.
Hey mate, I'm actively trying to follow some of these videos, but it occurs to me my biggest disadvantage is I don't understand the termanology... ridge line, working end/line, bite, etc. I'm not sure if it's good content or not but a video as a Glossary or Terms or adding the terms to the description of the videos would be handy to refer against.
Great point. I am actually in the process of writing an ebook and pocket field guide for that reason. Maybe a video is a good idea too. I'll see what I can do for you.
The marlin spike hitch is tied the same way as the slip knot but the working end is slipped. It's used for rope ladders and to add a handle to pull tension on a rope
The problem with these guys is that they show the process from the front. If they would show it facing away then you could see it as a right hand knot instead of a left handed knot. Come on, if you're going to teach something do it right.
Brilliant. Please do all of the knots, so I don’t have to watch anyone else’s videos. 😄
Haha. I would have to say, I probably don't know ALL the knots. Just the ones I need and use. O like to keep it simple.

Sir, that was brilliant thanks for this post!

Very true. If you don't use it, you lose it. Thanks for watching

Good advice. I'm working on that. Cheers
Very clear practical like how you simplify, does what says on can, and no silly music, nice one
Glad you liked it
I personally think the 2-finger flip method is the quickest and easiest. But, this is cool method I've never seen. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoy how give your instructions. please continue the great work!!
Thank you! Will do.
I gotta practice that one.i use that for work alot ,better way to form the bowline,thanks
I always enjoy new methods. Thanks!
My pleasure!

Yep. I have a short on three ways to lock the bowline you might like.

The rabbit jumps up out of the hole...goes around the tree see s the fox and goes back in the hole... Boy scout method from 1970...
Some people have trouble remembering how to construct the hole. Needs to be an underhand loop rather than an overhand loop.
That might be my problem. This knot has been giving me trouble for 55 years!
isn't that first part a slip knot? what is a marlin spike?
The marlin spike hitch is tied the same way as the slip knot but the working end is slipped. It's used for rope ladders and to add a handle to pull tension on a rope
What makes it a hitch is that it's attached to a post, or rail. A knot is tied onto the rope itself.
The problem with these guys is that they show the process from the front. If they would show it facing away then you could see it as a right hand knot instead of a left handed knot. Come on, if you're going to teach something do it right.
I'll take that on board, cheers
Very good thanks but I too feel it would be more helpful showing how to tie it as one would see it .
Wtf is a BAYLIN?
