Nice video, I need to do this, you made it look fairly simple.

Hell yeah knots

I tried to use your method however the solder would not stick to the cable. It just pooled up into a ball, but it would not solder onto the wire.

Thank you for sharing!

Ah, thanks. Now I see that knots can actually pull themselves apart! Or maybe it's better thought like: there's just not enough pushing/rubbing against it to hold. The direction thing helps massively too! I imagine it such that: the force from my pull changes direction following the thing as if I'm pulling from behind it in that direction so if there's anything under it it'll smash it down (or vice versa). now I think of friction as nothing more than : makes it so anything trying to hold the knot acts way stronger needing less force to stop it moving.

This is the best bowline tutorial I've seen..... I don't have the kind of brain that has whatever traits are required for tying knots and can only remember the 'how to' for a short time.....THIS video somehow is easy for me to remember ....Thanks very much.

Hey! You are awesome and I admire you so much! I need some help from the master of knots, please?! I believe there is a trickery knot that looks real, yet when tied correctly and pulled tight, it spills and falls apart. When tied with a sneaky different move that looks very similar, it all binds up and stays tied. Do you know it or could you design one, please?

I was trying to hold the bight and create the anchor point. Luckily I grew a third arm and it was simple.

Зачем?! Используйте вместо этого замечательный узел *Хомут* , продев два ходовых конца с разных сторон в *Коровий* узел на середине верёвочки. Узел Хомут завязать быстрее, он компактнее и надёжнее. Затягивать его куда удобнее, потянув ходовые концы в разные стороны.

Free advice. Don't cut this kind of cord; use a lighter instead. Cut cords Frey; melted ends don't...

COOL KNOTS! Thanks for showing how to tie these.

Reverse bowline

I didn't necessarily need any advice on this knot, but I've always loved your instructional style. This video went above and beyond showing multiple different perspectives. This is the most common knot I teach beginners, and you've shown me so many new ways to understand and teach knot theory.

Just found your video,this has solved a huge problem I had with some small diam wire rope,your method has instantly sorted it out,thanks for the video.

Trying the bowline under tension was sheer magic!

"Pressure is concentrated on the inside" Sounds important and needs a better explanation.

Around the standing end is an Eskimo Bowline. Per 'Budworth complete guide to knot tying' there is a sled in a museum in London that was brought back by an explorer (Sir john Ross) that contained numerous such knots in its rawhide lashings as evidence that it is a genuine Inuit knot. That is why I will always refer to that variation as an eskimo bowline. As bonus trivia there is a lot of evidence that Native American technology was more based in tension loading than compressive loading. The book 1491 has a lot of interesting information about this. Also some peoples documented their history via knots and rope work. Imagine a Macrame Journal. I found this extremely fascinating as an engineer. Imagine the poor europeans who came and had to cross chasms on rope brigdes instead of the nice stone archways over rivers. Or rather trying to convince their horses to cross.

REAL HERO

Very helpful...thankyou!

Please, could you make a video about the best midline loops to use under heavy tension? I’m wondering if you could use your “tiebreaker” to really crank on some knots to see which one is easiest to untie. Several I’m interested in are the butterfly, the farmer’s loop, the directional figure 8, and the bowline in (on?) a bite. I feel like 90%+ of people online claim the butterfly will be the easiest to untie, but I’m skeptical and you have some cool testing equipment. I’m also interested in how the zeppelin loop unties after a heavy load compared to a bowline. Thanks! I look forward to your content.

If I’m left handed but tie my bowlines the way you showed in the first half of the video, am I right?

I found that this works on any type of rope

Hey wheres the video you made of lifting something onto the top of a truck. suspending it inside the garage, then driving under it?

I always did this knot by doing a loop and loop on the same side so I make a pretzel. Then take the bottom of the pretzel and weave in in and out from one side until i get to the middle. Gold back and I got the same knot you made.

If you go around the loop instead of the standing part THAT is the wrong way to tie the bowline. I call it the "Jim" bowline after my knot challenged friend... if you're worried about cowboy vs book version always use Yosemite finish.

Boas Bowline, Cossack Knot, or 'Eskimo' Bowline. Since a slipped version of this is called a Kalmyk Loop, I often call the unslipped bowline variant like you made in your video a Kalmyk Bowline.

Going way to fast, not helpful

Test data shows no significant difference between in or out bowlines

NO. There are the English and Dutch bowlines. The Dutch ( end outside) is a little stronger, better.

My neighbor just used tires and water jugs. 😃

Super super excellent ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Super amazing I like it

Amazing

I'm left-handed but I already know how to tie the bowline

1,.,.🇵🇬

yay! bowlines! sheetbends! you have a very nice teaching style and clever brain. I was doing some tests pulling incredibly hard and every type of bowline seemed great even from every strand (I think once I got the short strand to slip but then it just kinda worked every time after that so...) kinda why I'm obsessed with bowline

I particularly enjoyed the clever way you covered your license plate. Thank you for not using blur or blue tape. Appreciate ya

My 13 year old son is going to absolutely love learning this knot! 🤣

I am also not left handed….

This is so cool. Thank you so much.

Wayy too much information on the bowline...... Perfect..

The additional knot around 5:30 most closely resembles the "mesh knot" (#402, #3791, #3796). Typically tied with a netting needle by forming a becket hitch through a bight of the previous row, the working end would go around a mesh guage before tying to the neighbouring loop of the previous row to form a net. - im this application all ends are in use and loaded roughly evenly. Compare the "granny mesh knot" (#3786) which ashley says tends to lead slightly better and the "carrick bend" (#3783) which is the most involved but also stable knot for this purpose.

Excelent knot's study issue!

The alternative bowline is called an Eskimo Bowline.

I really appreciate you going way further into a knot than usual. In particular, it's nice to see alternatives, ways that things can go wrong, and mechanical analogies.

Anti-bowline. 😁

You killed your viewer retention with the second half, so I'll mute it and let it play in the background.

The name of the second 'wrong' variation is an 'Eskimo bowline'.

'Tag out' is NOT the 'wrong' way to tie a bowline. It is simply a different variation, AKA a "cowboy bowline' or a 'left-handed' bowline.
