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.

[@joshvanderwesthuizen]

Even me dude haha

[@grantmitchell1656]

Same

[@denisegarbinski6103]

Me too!!

[@doctorrockso8126]

This was the 3rd or 4th for me and I got it first try this time

Great vid. No frills.....no stupid commentary making it seem easy. Just did it. Got it done. Period. Thank you

[@rhov-anion]

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!

[@aucourant9998]

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.

[@Kevinpeterhall87]

You are very exacting in your commentary. Great teaching skills, brother.

[@Turbocharge532]

Thank you you taught me how to tie one

[@jcbrook9463]

Best tutorial I have found.

[@jpStarBurst]

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!

[@robyngrogan7647]

Thank you so very much for showing me how to tie this knot. I could understand you better than anyone else.

[@BummersAbound]

Best video on the bowline. Couldn’t get it watching 10 other guys before this one.

[@alzeNL]

i feel like ernie from seasame street is teaching me how to tie a bowline knot - awsome vid btw

[@Skedawg88]

Gotta love his voice.

[@waynehearst317]

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.

[@Mike-qo8nm]

you sir are the man. watched so many other videos this is BY FAR the quickest and easiest demo on the bowline

[@caspartambian7193]

Others are hard but yours is great

[@Kopie0830]

Thanks bro. Simple and straight to the point.

[@lachlanpurdon3781]

This video saved me

[@V1_ULTRAKILL3535]

Oh man what a breathtaking tutorial!

[@normansidey5258]

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.

Thankyou great job

[@shobana2590]

Thank you so much

[@vishnudas9476]

Just like magic.. you just discovered how to teach a bowline knot.

[@andrewevans1358]

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!

[@kittykidsdoapham3473]

Thanks.

[@emp0rt]

straighforward and excellent tutorial. thanks!

[@lathikakp7226]

Clear and flawless, great job

[@blakepresent]

Great Video, you made it simple. Thank you so much.

[@brocknspectre1221]

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.

[@lawrencedrinkard]

Feels odd to comment on such an old video, but this was very helpful!

[@vaishnavbrid5534]

Thanks for precisely shown video thank you very much

[@catherinelee1256]

This is the only video I found that shows clearly what to do at the end to pull the knot tight. This is where I was getting messed up and so frustrated! Thank you for the clear, close up tutorial.

[@greggriffin5887]

Perfect. Thanks man

[@phillipborzick2117]

[@ahnafwali8288]

Hey man this bowline helped me get the eagle scout

[@squareguard2604]

I have my star board of review in a couple weeks 😭

[@charleseden5246]

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

[@pbp1701]

Awesome job

[@CyberpunkV2077]

Thanks

[@journeythru-n-c]

Awesome video....thank you!😊

[@poplarparkfilms]

[@tomjohnson3004]

Best

[@Think-dont-believe]

You should do a video on what knot best for different situations
Bravo to your explanations

[@ActuallyJammy]

ending your suffering

[@flaviamihai6884]

Very useful video! Thank you!

[@damonr4136]

You started out great nice and slow and then just speed thru about midway thru

[@SwampDonkey64]

The rabbit comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and then goes back in the hole.

[@TheEmpireAnimations]

Thank you finally a good video on the bowline knots

[@jennastorr4832]

Thank you! This video helped me so much.

[@jacobrees4848]

Thanks, really clear and informative

[@HuggyDoesStuff]

Real

[@TheDrizzNizzle]

Just need quite a bit more tail on that dead end. Good video

[@swanee22]

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.

[@magdalenaswiatczak5696]

It took me a few try’s but when I got it it just clicked thanks this really helped

[@joshsmith3284]

great video, I watched 5 other ones before I figured it out first try with this..Thanks!

[@dnsndhxjxjyandnncjxjcjc1788]

More knots !

[@JERSEYTOMATO]

Nicely demonstrated- thanks

[@brennandodds]

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!

[@fletcher4098]

Brennan Dodds I think it’s just a shoelace with tape on the end.

[@AwesomeAndrew]

Thanks man, awesome video, great work.

[@boncinema]

Step by Step! Finally something clear and to the point. Thank you for your teaching skills.

[@ccrider-]

When one pulls on the end, it tugs on the loop and doesn’t work.

[@MNpicker]

👌🏼👍🏼🤘🏼

[@YesSir280]

Hi

[@tedlahm5740]

Tie it to an OBJECT. the view will be different?

[@TheBestBlueGuy]

Like a neck

[@_pugjake10_91]

1st lol

[@mewhengooseta106]

_ PugJake10 _ god dammit I thought I could be

[@rekyang]

lol

[@airi5219]

its all fun and games until 1:01

[@beatlesdork1274]

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.

[@darrellbrown8558]

What happened to the rabbit, hole and tree......

[@macmen007]

after you make the knot about 10 times.... do it with your eyes closed for re-enforcement

[@helpfulcommenter]

It’s reinforcement not re-enforcement (that’s not even a word)

[@macmen007]

​@@helpfulcommenter Looks like you understood the statement (misspelling and all).... thanks "snappy-cappy-dusty"!

[@ralfsxm851]

Palstek again

[@RichSobocinski]

Good instruction but the word is pronounced "bo-lin" even though it looks like it should be "bo-line"

[@Kumachanchan]

BO LIN not BOW LINE

[@tonycampbell1178]

It isn’t pronounced “bow-line”, it’s “bo-lin”

[@kimmcalinden6042]

Pee pee poo poo

[@JaradLB]

this video is not helpful

[@kwilsonjr]

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.

[@tommyharris5817]

Waste of time as there's much easier methods. Plus, it's pronounced Bow-lin.

[@rossfinnigan4909]

If you can't pronounce the name of the knot, I'm not going to trust you to tie it.

[@noname-li5tl]

How did he pronounce it wrong?

[@derekcompton5212]

"Bow" part is right, but the "line" part is pronounced like the name "Lynn" or the "lin" in the word lint

[@rickpotter5015]

symantics

[@FORDEVR]

Potaetoe/Poetaatoe
Could it be that it is pronounced differently in different areas or countries. England perhaps says it differently. Is it tied properly? Yes!
Well Done.
