As a Scoutmaster, I pride myself in knowing quite a few knots with the bowline of course being one of them. I've NEVER seen it done this way. GREAT JOB. I'll be adding that to my repertoire. Thanks!

As a sailor I thought I’d learned a couple of the best ways to tie a bowline when you to attach a sheet to a sail but I hadn’t tried this one yet. It’s simple straightforward and easy to do even with a wet sheet in your hand. Thank you. (And for that guy who said you’d never need to tie a bowline this way- well obviously he was never in the sea scouts)

I’ve been trying to figure this out for two days using different videos and pictures. With your succinct explanation I was able to get it on the first attempt. Great tutorial!

This is simplest and best method of tying a bowline I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much!😊

just learned Bowline and trucker tie, i feel like i own the world now.

Great video! I've had troubles with the bowline for years, but this quick and easy demo has helped me more than any other instruction! Thank you

[lindyjoffe]

I’ve never been inspired to leave a YouTube comment before but your video has changed that. I’ve done these knots in fits and starts for years now, always struggling and never really understanding what I’m doing. Your explanation was so clear I learned the knot and committed it to memory immediately. Thank you!

Finally, a video of the bowline knot method I learned from a rigger at a trade show 25 years ago. I've been trying to teach it to my fellow sailors ever since. By far the best method ever. I try to tell others it is just a slip knot with a twist. Just like the one used for a basic truckers hitch. Thanks

For someone that is new to boating this video is the best I have found on the net. Such an easy way to remember. Thanks.

Holy crap!!! This is the easiest way to tie this knot. You are knot Sensai. :) Thanks!!!

[haulwen]

This video is excellent. You do the step by step instructions at such a good pace, which means they can picked up and learned very quickly. As someone who has never tied proper knots, I can now start putting my washing line up with confidence. Thank you!

As an old sailor, I"ve been tying Bowlines for 50 years. Can't believe I have't seen this method before. Thanks.

[juliohernandez]

unbelievably easy way to tie the bowline. I will be using this method from now on, thanks for posting!

[paulsloan]

First time I've seen someone else tie the bowline this way. I learned this method 40 years ago when I lived in Japan. All the Japanese tie the bowline using this method. I teach all my outdoor ed. classes how to tie the bowline this way. The students love it. Really quick and easy. 
Thanks for sharing!

Having learned the bowline as a kid with the silly rabbit story, I still have trouble remembering which way the rabbit runs. This was so much better than going on a wild rabbit chase. Thank you!

There are a host of videos out there about tying this knot.  But you went right to the application of the knot, so that by the time you've shown how to tie it, the viewer already knows how to attach to something.  Brilliant.  After a few practice knots, it all makes sense and will be something I'll use forever on my boat and in a host of other situations.  THANKS for a very practical and instructive video.  I also really appreciate how concise it was - no fanfare, just the right practical steps.  Well done!

God bless you sir. You have my gratitude; one of the best explanations on how to tie a bowline.

Absolutely the best, easiest way to tie the Bowline, period! Ever seen someone who could tie a 'perfect bowline', and when you give them something to tie it TO, the loop is 10-sizes too large? This method lets you size your hitch loop to PERFECTLY fit the eyelet, load, etc. you want to connect with! If you aren't using this method, you don't have true control of your loop size...

I've learned this years ago from someone but I forgot about how to tie it, and have been searching all day for it. Thanks for the video sir

I have been a Firefighter for 10 years and for some reason always found this knots difficult. Doing it this way is, for me, so much simpler.
