Form a marlin spike hitch in the standing part. Pass the end through the marlin spike hitch. Pull tight. Whether or not you get a traditional or left handed bowline depends on which way the end passes or which way the marlin spike hitch is oriented. It's a reliable way to tie the loop. I prefer a more solid variants: double turn, yosemite, or water.
What my climbing instructor called a "cack-handed" bowline. Feed the tail in through the other side of the marlin spike hitch to get a conventional bowline.
Having the working end outside of the eye is very dangerous. If it catches, the knot will capsize or trip and the eye will open up. Use a similar technique but make certain that the end of the line is inside the eye.
Direction often DOES matter when it comes to knots, affecting either their strength or their ability to stay tied. But I have heard that as long as you tie the tail to any strand, it does not matter if the tail is inside or outside the loop. I agree, I wouldn't trust the tail just being poked through the knot as you showed, but there is a climber's Yosemite finish you should know, both how to tie it and what are its limitations. Looking forward to a remake with louder volume.
Yes, agreed, it does matter and in this video, he ties a cowboy bowline, which can slip and come apart under a heavy load. He should have passed the working end the other way, and he would have made a proper bowline. The knot wouldn't have flipped over into place when it was tightened. It the bowline is going to be used to secure something pricey, like a million dollar yacht, or something priceless, like a human being, then be sure the working end winds up on the inside of the loop.!!!!
When you pass the end through the bite you form either a bowline or cowboy bowline (left handed bowline) depending on which way you pass it. Possibly no issue but some reckon the cowboy to be a weaker knot.
The bowline is the most simple knot there is unless you count the overhand knot. The way to tie a bowline around something is a little more involved, but still easy. Its a great knot.
I would not recommend hanging off of this method of a bowline. Unless you don’t mind falling to your death. The tail end should not be on the outside of the hoop, that’s is a cowboy bowline and WILL slip under tension.
It never a good idea to have the working end on the outside of the knot. If the loop end of the knot is moving it creates a catch point. So it does matter how you make the loop in he standing end and what way you pass the working end through the small bite you pass through the loop.
It does make a difference which way you put the working end through. One way gives you the classic bowline. The other gives a "cowboy" bowline which is less strongruclips.net/video/mSDqVc_h4oU/видео.html
Actually, the video you are referring to says that the Dutch navy says that the cowboy, or Dutch bowline is stronger. I'm confused too. There seems to be a lot of discussion on the Internet on this matter. I've not made up my mind yet. And yes, I'm Dutch, but that does not mean I wil automatically take the Dutch navy's word on it. I'm going to look for tests or test reports. That's what needs to be done here. Testing, not debating. If I find anything, I'll post it here.
While not actual tests, I've found this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowboy_bowline. It states that tests have shown to be no notable difference in strength. It also states that The Asley Book of Knots states otherwise. Still haven't made up my mind yet.
@@perlgawker I agree that I would like to see tests. I have been taught that the bowline with the tail out is inferior as far as strength. I do teach people that the cowboy or Dutch bowline is a good knot and that if they are in a hurry and have to have the knot NOW and tie a cowboy bowline, they should use the knot rather than untie and retie.
Clem McGuinness , I have been on a Rope Rescue Team since 1990, I would never hurt anyone’s feelings unless I thought that there would be a possibility of someone using an “incorrect” Knot as a Life Line, Believe Me, I’ve seen “Professionals” (Instructors), who have gotten seriously injured. God Bless You and Thank You for Not Being offended.
Really sorry mate that's a cowboy bowline you've got there. It does matter which side you pass the bitter end in through. you would be wise to take this video down. But keep at it.

I watch so many videos about this knot but YOURS is the best and easy to remember. Thanks.
This is the best way to tie a bowline I've ever seen! Thanks!
Best demonstration I've seen so far for tying a bowline.
Form a marlin spike hitch in the standing part. Pass the end through the marlin spike hitch. Pull tight. Whether or not you get a traditional or left handed bowline depends on which way the end passes or which way the marlin spike hitch is oriented.

Noticed the same thing, tail needs to be on inside of loop

Yes, the cowboy bowline is less secure, and it's not a bite, it's a bight.
You've made my life much easier. Thank you.

Ive sailed, Ive low level tech climbed. Maybe Im knot challenged but until now Ive always had to struggle w/ the bowline....no longer....gracias.
I found this method the best ...Thanks .
This is the best!
Can't forget it this way.
omg the easiest way to tie and remember thank you !!!!
Is there a way to do it this way with a running bowline
That is pretty slick, thanks for posting.
Great job!

The tail end should not be on the outside of the hoop, that’s is a cowboy bowline and WILL slip under tension.
If you had your pick of what knot is lowered to you, a bowline in the bight gives somewhat of a seat or the Zeppelin loop is very secure.
Marlin spike bowline 👍🏻 dig it
That’s very cool !!
all you do is make a bite below loop and insert bite into loop and run tail end thru bite, and thats it .
Good job. "Be Better. Everything is a Test." -BleuQuill
This is also reffered to as a equalizing bowline and is the last step in a barrel hitch or scaffold hitch
Could have used this today. Darn it. Next time for sure!

👍💯
Yes
Seems I can tie this w one hand ... Need try. Thx
Brilliant demonstration video. ( Left handed, cowboy, classic, who cares. They are all as strong. ) Thanks
Clem McGuinness , Not if you’re hanging from it as a Life Line; ask any Rope Rescuer, ...an “Outside” Bowline could cost you your Life..!

You know I don't climb ... Point taken oops

Thank you
Master chief boswains mate would not sign your practical factors off with a cowboy bowline!
Really sorry mate that's a cowboy bowline you've got there. It does matter which side you pass the bitter end in through. you would be wise to take this video down. But keep at it.
If you can't tie these simple knots you should join the boy SCOUTS
Jim Farrier good on ya Jimbo... good comment
Yet another person trying to teach this knot who fails to impart the point of the damn thing.
my way is faster
