I found a bowline knot display in Oceanside, California. Here is how to tie each one from easiest to hardest. #knots #paracord #rope #Bowline
That was a pleasure to watch. It would have been nice to learn the relative value of the different knots and when one, rather than another, would be best to use.
The Portuguese bowline is one of my favourite knots. Using the "shelf" technique you can wrap multiple coils and so create a larger area of rope to evenly distribute the load so it won't cut through something like the bark of a tree. You can also use the standard double coil as a two point anchor with the added benefit of being able to adjust each loading equally. And if you camp and want to stretch the tarp in a particular direction and there are no anchors in that line, you can use the Portuguese bowline on two nearby trees and fine tune the new improvised anchor to hold that line you need. And yes, I'm Portuguese !
Yes he often omits the pros and cons of each knot.
Some folks requested uses: 1) Bowline - simple, reliable, loop at end of rope. Doesn’t bind up under load. 2) double bowline is the same, a bit more secure 3) the two bite versions can be used in the middle of a rope, no end needed 4) Portuguese puts two self-equalizing loops at the end of a rope for more strength or girth than standard bowline. 5) the Spanish can be used as a rescue knot for over wrists, but it’s common use is by paperboys to tie up a bundle. Treat it like two trucker hitch loops and send a tail horizontal around the bundle and the other tail vertical around the bundle.
I hadn't heard the term "ignition twist" before, but I've used "start the car" as a way to remember how to tie various knots. The reverse twist, for me, is ""drink the beer". Ultra short version: "drink" or "drive", but never both!
> "drink" or "drive", but never both!
This is just *begging* for a knot that includes these steps:
1. "Drink"
2. "Seatbelt"
3. "Drive"
Now, all I need to do is figure out what "seatbelt" means, come up with a knot that includes these steps, and convince @First_Class_Amateur to put it in a video. Easy!
Well, I think I came up with something:
1. Drink - create a loop with a "drink the beer" twist
2. Start the car - further towards the working end, create a loop with a "start the car" twist
3. Under the influence - place the second loop underneath the first loop
4. Drive through the window - push the working end through the two loops, from front to back
What you end up with is a useless messy tangle - exactly the same result as doing those actual actions with a beer and a car! :D
Great job as usual. For all the complainers about when to use which version, just tie each one and look at it. Look at how each loop is locked under load. Work with it a little. If the mechanics of any knot is understood, the sky is the limit with respect to its application. Me personally, i boil it down to a bowline and one with more than one anchor for most bowlines. Some loops are easier to adjust etc. one loop is all i have ever needed. Loggers/arborist and climbers use quit a few bowlines. There is no magic activity for each one.
The only thing i would want to see differently is multiple ways to tie them. I tie every one of these differently. Some ways just dont click while a different tie method sings to you.
Finally someone who could explain the spanish bowline so I could understand it. I wasn't able to find good explanation of it so far. Thanks a lot Mr. Amateur 😉
Bowline on a bight and triple are switched. I like the “ignition twist” reference.
I'm Portuguese. I'm glad to know we have a bowline!
Great work as usual by FCA. Nice job on the Spanish Bowline too. I'm adding this video to my Knots Collection spreadsheet.
Good job with the video! But, as you say, being a "knot knerd" I can't help but add a few comments.
1. Clever of you to give correct names in the instruction without actually saying which are mislabeled. True, the "on a Bight" and "Triple" are reversed. Also, good job completing the Triple so it clearly shows all three loops as functional.
2. The "French/Portuguese" is also mislabeled. They are not the same. You correctly tied the Portuguese Bowline laying the line ON your "shelf". With the French Bowline the line runs THROUGH the "eye" with both turns.
3. The "Twin", according to Graumont & Hensel, is a Bowline Splicing Bend (2nd Method). I can't find the term "Twin" anywhere.
Overall, Good Job!
I am from Brazil, when I was young I bought a bow and arrow from a tribe called Urubu Kaapor. They use the Portuguese/French bowline on their bows. I have never seen anybody else using this knot. I still use it on my bows.
I've been to that restuarant... it's been probably 15 years I was a little kid back then. Nostalgia. Good video too it's nice to have a big bag of tricks stuck up your sleeve.
Thanks for ignition twist. Hope there’s a follow up on the history and uses of the individual knots. Thanks again
I can't walk pass a scrap of rope without tying a knot....gosh I love the chain senet
Bowline on a bite and the triple bowline are backwards on that wall display. Also. The Spanish bowline. I have herd that called a double alpine butterfly. Great job on this video.
Had loose interest in knots in my early years. I’m starting to become a knot nerd because of you. Thanks for a great video again.
I feel I've become more macho after learning these additional knots from FCA.
*Grunt grunt* Throwing away my ratchet straps and only keeping rope and paracord in my truck now.
What are uses for each knot??
I saw a video recently that makes tying the Spanish bowline with paracord a piece of cake (thicker cordage might be difficult). I can do it in about 5 seconds and it's amazing!
1. Hold the middle of your line with the ends drooping in front of you over your index, middle, and ring fingers.
2. Cross the ends and then pull up a bite on each end around your thumbs through the window we made with the cross.
3. With your index fingers, flip these bites up to make them loops.
4. Stick your middle fingers through these loops and you'll see the top of the window next to the cross tries to come with them.
5. Pull that part of the window through these loops and drop everything else to complete the Spanish bowline.
The Triple and On the Bight
Nice, clear explanations. Thank you!
Nice video as always. I used to assume the bowline on a bight was simply a bowline tied in a bight of rope, and when I thought I was making it I was simply tying a triple bowline. One day I had an epiphany and realised I didn't need to tuck the bight back through the knot but could just pass the standing ends through it to make a much prettier and more secure knot. From there I quickly worked out that if the standing ends were not available I could take the bight the other way over the whole knot as you do here.
Dave Kahn - Sometimes you learn things best yourself. good on ya!
Yes it’s a useful shortcut but beware, if you put serious tension in a bowline on a bight it is very hard to untie without a hammer and gallons of elbow grease. That’s why take a little bit extra time and tie a triple instead, unless I am seriously short on my budgeted length.
Perfect knot
Very nice video
Thanks!
seems like the 'Twin bowline bend' could also be called a 'Twin sheetbend', since it really is just two sheet bends
Everyone likes to make this comparison but I don’t believe it’s accurate. Theres 2 methods:
When working with 2 tails, a typical sheet bend (or double sheet bend) combines 2 ends of rope together in 1 knot with the tail ending perpendicular to the lines you just connected.
A sheet bend tied midline, however, (using the bight of one rope and the tail of another) looks very similar to a bowline but isn’t the same because you are merely passing the end symmetrically through a bight (almost exactly like a square knot) which looks like a sideways bowline when finished. A bowline, on the other hand, is actually passing through a half hitch first then going around 1 neck instead of a bight which terminates back down the opposite way instead of sideways. Direction is key, That’s why you have to “turn the ignition” the right way or it fails. A tail used to make a midline sheet bend can enter any which way.
Basically it’s similar visually but completely different results. A sheet bend tied midline looks like an incorrect Mississippi bowline to me. But if you put any serious weight on a sheet bend it will slip off suddenly way before it ever breaks. Very dangerous.
FYI, the Portuguese Bowline and the French Bowline are two different knots. What you have shown is the Portuguese Bowline. For the French Bowline, the initial loop goes through the nipping loop, not over it.
How is a double bowline more useful? How about a triple bowline? Are they more reliable, maybe?
I was also taught a Western Bowline. It’s the same as a regular Bowline but the end of the rope is on the outside of the loop. The logic is that it won’t rub on the horses neck
yeah, the Cowboy Bowline. It may work better when used as a lasso, less conflict with the running line. I noticed something else too. Every horse person I have ever seen ties the bowline upside down with a underhand loop. The snake goes down into the hole around the root and comes back out. It must be a horse thing.
That snake and root imagery is funny, compared to the Boy Scout lesson where a rabbit goes around the tree…
Thank you for a good video on the family of bowlines.
Would you please provide the purpose/reason or specialty usage for each of the different variations.
Otherwise it would just be list of bowline variation as a decorative knot; which I'm certain the Bowlines are NOT.
(As I'm aware)
The original or normal bowline is both easy to tie and untie. Irrespective of whether the line gets wet or is pulled tight it will be able to be untied ( break the neck).
Once tied it will not slip; ask most sailors. This is one knot you better know on the boat. The tail is also on the inside of the loop; this is to prevent the line getting caught with other things on the boat.
The purpose of the other bowlines I'm NOT aware of.
There is additionally a Dutch bowline; where the tail is on the outside.
Thank you for sharing!.
Hi. Great video. Would you explain in which situations should be used each one?
Great teacher
Item one: I would call your bowline on a bite, a double bowline on a bite.
Item two: ignition twist, pretty sure there was no "ignitions" in the days of iron Man and wooden ships. Always thought that one with the rabbit, the tree, and the hole.
Item three: you might be missing, a single bowline on a bite, a flying bowline, and the infamous dragon bowline!
Item four: Spanish bowling has always been hard to tie, very good demonstration of that one.
Thank you for such a great comment! I appreciate the mention of the other bowlines. You got me interested and I’m looking them up now.
I'm KNOT BOARD watching this 😆
Nice knots!! When should I use a Spanish bowline knot?
Nice job! I do the same thing!
You could have included a one handed bowline, an invaluable asset for a sailor or a climber.
I always teach that one when I'm out on a sailboat, it could save someone's life. Easy to practice, too.
The "Twin Bowline" is actually two Sheet Bends (which is usually unnecessary, a single holds just as good).
Because it's tied bight through loop and not loop crossed over bight some might argue that it is truly a bowline bend. What's really important is that you know how to tie it, semantics are at best secondary. It may not be necessary true, but a single doesn't hold just as good. Something that requires two knots to fail, instead of just one, can make all the difference when you can't afford failure. The reason the Water Bowline and the Yosemite finish exist is because as reliable as the Bowline is there are times when nothing is gained by taking chances.
I just watched your block and tackle system video, could the triple bowline replace the 3 loop setup you used in that video?
It's good to know different knots and different ways to tie them. But it's all useless knowledge unless you know when to use them and when not to use them.
This video would be so much better if it showed the practical uses of these knots and discussed their advantages and weaknesses.
Thanks for input! I’ll get on it.
While I prefer collapsing a marlinspike hitch, I can understand why one wouldn't use that method in this video.
Looks like they mixed up the triple and on a bight
EXCELLENT!!!
Love this
The triple and Bowline on a bight… anyway. Have you ever heard of the Reverse Eskimo Bowline? I learned it some place on the internet .. not really sure it fits the definition of a bowline.
Yeah, it's like a distant illegitimate cousin. It has its uses.
ruclips.net/video/IOxaUiuVxAA/видео.html
That was cool but what about the slipped bowline or another name imitation bowline?
It's not the knots are failed but the the strength of the rope.
The Triple Bowline and Bowline On A Bight were transposed
please do a timber hitch like you are lifting a 1x4 ft 2x4 ft and 4x8ft piece of plywood
triple and on the bight
For some reasone thr twin bowline bend reminds me of the sheep shank, is it the same thing?
So I'd like to know why n what one to use in different circumstances, n think should add runnin bowline, bowline with yosamiti tie off and circus bowline jus for fun of it 😂
The triple and on the bight is switched
Oh I feel smart now...
I know exactly two bowlines, from rope access rescue stuff. The noob bowline and the triple... That's not a triple.
Soooo where do u learn all this
The Ashley Book of knots and Google have been good for me. But all lot of it is just figuring it out.
I think your basic bowline is wrong. The working end usually ends up on the outside of the loop
easy, the bowline on a bight
They are NOT called Bow Lines... They are called Bowlins....no navy man who prounce it LINE ! Bowlin... and by the way you Throw a bowline you don't sit there and tie it. Some one throws you a line and you whip the free end over the standing part, and pull it threw. You throw a bowline ,not tie it... If you double a line you can make a simple bowline that is doubled.. No big deal...
🇵🇬🇵🇬,,..
The Dutch id better then the English
A
The word is pronounced bow (as in bow tie) and lean as is lean-over.
Bow lean
not
Bow line.
Thanks, the first time I heard it, it was pronounced that way. I was thinking about making a less serious video titled, “How to pronounce Bowline”. What do you think? Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I believe it's pronounced "Bo - Lin"
I’ve heard |bow-lin| and |bow-line| but I’ve never heard |bow-lean|.
It's pronounced however you want as long as people understand you. "Bo-line" and "bo-lin" are both used commonly enough that they are both correct at this point. "Bo-lin" may have been more common historically, but I would bet "bo-line" is more common now. Either way, nobody is likely to misunderstand either pronunciation. "Bow-line" (where "bow" rhymes with "cow") would probably also be understood. I've never actually heard anyone say "bo-lean" before, and it would probably take me a moment to figure out what they're saying, but it would make sense. It's also somewhat consistent with the etymology of the word passing through "boling", only to have the "g" dropped later.
The point of language is communication, so as long as you're getting your point across, you're saying it correctly. Having said that, the way you pronounce it can communicate more information. "Bo-lin" is probably more common in sailors (or people who want to sound "authentic" or "correct"). "Bo-line" is probably more common in us land-dwellers, and "bo-lean" is someone who clings to original pronunciations no matter how long ago the language moved on from them (without ever actually being certain that it's actually anything close to the original pronunciation).
Historically, there's some debate about where the term "bow" in "bowline" actually comes from: Archery bow (pronounced "bo"), the bow (front, pronounced like "cow") of a ship, the bow (curve as in "rainbow", pronounced "bo") of the sails, or something else entirely? I think it's pretty well agreed and established that the "line" portion refers to a cord of some sort, though which particular cord at the time the name of the knot was established is up for debate (see above about the "bow" part of the word). All of this debate also ignores how much the pronunciation of each of these interpretations of "bow" may have changed over the centuries, and even if we could decide which "bow" the knot is referring to, we have to decide whether we want to fix the pronunciation of "bowline" however that "bow" was pronounced at the time, make the pronunciation of "bowline" track with the pronunciation of the specific "bow", or allow it to evolve on it's own. We know that at various points throughout history, it's been spelled as "boling", "bowling", and "bowline", and it's also possibly been transferred back and forth between different languages throughout history.
Basically, trying to argue about the pronunciation is just being a pretentious prescriptivist. This is true about most arguments about language, but doubly so in this case since there isn't even an agreed upon historical origin or "original" pronunciation. English has so many words that are borrowed from other languages and the pronunciation changes, and English itself has many different dialects that the only "incorrect" pronunciation or grammar is one that isn't understood. Put a Scotsman, an Aussie, and a Newfie in a room together, given them each a few drinks and watch the fun.
How to tie every bowline? Except the water bowline, and the Yosemite bowline. 😂😂😂😂 nice try kid.
