Brent, you are totally welcome for the gear! As we talked about, I've been a fan/supporter of your inventions for right at 5 years. All started with the kickstarter for the gravity hook. So many other great items and so much useful knowledge on your videos. I cant remember them all, so they are saved haha -Lee
There's a far simpler and faster process of tying the 2nd method that doesn't have you fighting the line with a bunch of flipping: 1. Hold the middle of the line draped over your index and middle fingers and pinching with your thumbs, palms are up, we're not using our ring or pinky fingers. 2. Cross the ends and use your thumbs (nail side) to pull a bite up through the middle. 3. Hold the middle of the line with the middle fingers as you reach your index fingers around the cross and flip the bites into loops. 4. These loops will lay on the cross which you can pull through the loops with your index fingers and thumbs. 5. Release the middle of the line from your middle fingers and pull the cross lines apart to tighten everything up.
I am jealous! You have done something I have always wanted to. You make useful things and provide knowledgeable videos that are easy to understand. Thank you.
I'm always self-conscious when I say bowline, because one way you run the risk of people thinking you're a pretender noob, the other way they think you're a pretentious wanker. Being neither a sailor nor a soldier nor a climber nor an angler, but just a knot enthusiast, I never know what to say...
I pronounce it Bow - line, like the bow of a ship. That's where it was used, according to legend, when they'd tie a bowline in the end of a rope and throw it to the pier where it could be slipped over a bollard or cleat to secure the vessel. Of course, it's real easy to fall back on the more common "bowl"in pronunciation since that's the common way of saying it even if it's the more vulgar way. 😁
Technically any pronunciation is acceptable but it does come from the bow of a ship though no one says it like that. The way you say it is how I prefer but it all depends on how lazy or fast the speaker is speaking.
Sorry dude....gotta add a piece of critique here... it's NOT a "bow-line" ............it is a "bow-lynne" as well as it is NOT a PRUU-sic but a "pruh-sic"
Could you tell us why? BTW Prusik is German. In German the u is pronounced like 'oo' in english. So The pronunciation of pruusik is closer to being correct then Pruh-sic.

Bravo 👏🏻
I’d like to hear about the bowline pronunciation 👍🏻
I have always wondered what a good application for the Spanish Bowline was. Thanks for making such a practical video.

Bowline vs bowline?
Thanks, Lee.

Could you modify it so that the free end can work to easily adjust the size while other end is used for tensioning?

Same. And I need that pronunciation video
How about using Asher’s Equalizer? It constantly “self-levels”.
What is the model of that camera arm? Looking for something similar.
I think I've been tying it wrong this whole time. Mine's fixed. Not adjustable.
What's the type/brand of coyote tan cord hank you have there?
1/4” paramax
No audio?
I'm getting audio after reload now
For Pete's sake please make the "other" video

Yeah I want to know why "bowline" and not "bowline" :)
Some even call it a "bowline"! I couldn't believe it when I first heard it. That's too far, IMO.
Most people just throw a sandbag on a C stand and call it a day.
I use a kettlebell, it’s easier
