Normally I would not say anything but I just watched about ten other "how to" tie a bowline knot videos and I just went away frustrated. Your video actually taught me to tie a bowline. Great job and thanks so much. I don't feel like a dummy anymore.

Great vid. No stupid commentary making it seem easy. Just did it. Got it done. Period. Thank you

[Kevinpeterhall]

You are very exacting in your commentary. Great teaching skills, brother.

I did this knot hundreds of times back on the college sailing crew. Like so many others here, I didn't need to tie it for decades and completely forgot. Then when I needed it, I found you. This former sailor thanks you, sir!

The very best explanation I've seen. I've done this knot dozens of times before but always struggle to remember which way the loop goes and which hole I'm coming back through. For the first time, I know exactly what I'm doing.

Thank you you taught me how to tie one

[BummersAbound]

Best video on the bowline. Couldn’t get it watching 10 other guys before this one.

[robyngrogan]

Thank you so very much for showing me how to tie this knot. I could understand you better than anyone else.

Best video I've seen on tightening the bowling knot

I learned this knot as a Boy Scout used it frequently during my service in the British Army then had no occasion to use until now at the age of 71 while cutting some trees back from my side of property’s boundary, and guess what I had forgotten how to do it. Your video explained in such a manner that I could not believe I had forgotten how it goes. Thanks a lot mate for sharing I shall not forget the process from now on.

you sir are the man. watched so many other videos this is BY FAR the quickest and easiest demo on the bowline

[jpStarBurst]

I agree that I've watched at least ten other videos & the instructions in this one is by far the easiest to understand. I tied one along with the video one time, paused the video and was able to successfully tie it again. First time ever!

I could not get my head around this knot. I am dyslexic so struggle with things like this but you video NAILED it for me. Thanks so much. I won't look such a ditz at sailing class tomorrow

[waynehearst]

Hope this comment helps some of you because I struggled with this simple knot because I kept thinking the ORIGINAL LOOP I made was going to end up being the final Bowline loop. NO! That first loop you make @0:32, forget about it, it goes away and the loop you make when you bring up the main line creating the actual final loop @0:44 - anyway, this is what made the knot very easy for me.

Just like magic.. you just discovered how to teach a bowline knot.

[shawman]

I too watched several videos and couldn't figure it out until I came across yours. Getting ready to give up.

[Kopie]

Thanks bro. Simple and straight to the point.

[catherinelee]

This is the only video I found that shows clearly what to do at the end to pull the knot tight. This is where I was getting messed up and so frustrated! Thank you for the clear, close up tutorial.

[sharkpitt]
