In this tutorial video, you'll learn how to tie a bowline knot, a versatile knot that can be used in a variety of situations including camping, survival, bushcraft, and general life skills and knowledge. The bowline knot is also known as the king of knots because of its strength and reliability. Whether you're tying a knot for fishing, securing your shelter, or just need to tie something securely, the bowline knot is a valuable skill to have in your knot-tying arsenal. In this video, we'll also touch on other popular knots like the clove hitch, square knot, and reef knot, as well as different types of rope and cordage like nylon, sisal, and macrame cord. So, whether you're a seasoned knot-tying expert or a beginner, this video is perfect for anyone looking to improve their knot-tying skills and learn valuable survival knots.

The following knots, hitches, and bends are in this video. I break them down into Anchor knots, Tension knots, mid-line knots, and binding knots.
You'll find the Zeppelin bend - or 69 knot, The Sheet bend and Double sheet bend, the Bowline, (Anti-Bowline or Eskimo knot), the Evenk Hitch (Siberian Hitch), Taut-Line Hitch (Magnus Hitch, Midshipman Hitch, and Rolling Hitch), Truckers Hitch ( Auto-Locking Truckers Hitch), The Prusik knot, Alpine Butterfly, Constrictor Hitch and Canadian Jam knot (Quick Release Jam Knot).

I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots. I explain the use of a Bight, round turn, hitch, and bend.

Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!

Concise and easy to understand. Knots are hard to memorize and people NEED to revisit, so making this series as it is has been a blessing with the consumer in mind.
No filler content, no faffing around, great illustrative editing and splicing with an added hue to make it aesthetic.
This puts other YouTube content creators to shame. I’m sure I’m not the first to say it, but thank you so much for what you’re doing!!

What really amazes me about the bowline is that it’s easily undone no matter how much tension you’ve put on it. And that it’s impossible for it to get undone while under tension. Double safe!

Watched my girlfriend trying to teach her son how to tie his shoes. She had no luck. I figured out it was because she was facing him. I sat down, had him sit on my lap and showed him how to tie it from his side. Bingo. It worked. That’s an excellent point you made about facing the knot or not. Good help! Thanks!

Bowline is one of three knots that everyone should learn and be an expert in. Square knot, clove hitch, bowline. There are other great knots that someone might need for maritime, trucking, climbing, or survivalist applications, but these three will get 95% of people all the way through life and the other 5% through 95% of the knots they'll ever need.

In Boy Scouts, in the old days, we practiced and practiced tying all kinds of knots. But if you don't use it you lose it! Thanks for bringing this knot back just when I needed it. Good teaching is rare, great job! I'll be looking at the other videos.

my dad was a first mate/sailor starting on working boats back in the late 1930's and into ww2. He taught me this amazing knot long ago and after watching this it all came back and got it on the first try🤗

I learned how to tie this knot many years ago and still appreciate a well done step by step video. Thanks dude!

I always struggled with learning knots because the over/under is always poorly illustrated, or I'll get the twist direction wrong because I misinterpreted the diagram. The way this was explained was really clear and I appreciate how it was presented.

[justinmusic]

I love how you suggested we create the loop by turning a key on or off. Makes it easier to understand. 👍

[josephtucciarone]

Wow. Thanks for the extra uses & combination uses.

I really like the marlinespike hitch idea. Thank you for another helpful video.

[staalburger]

Basic tutorial, but exceptionally handy to know. Thank you.

[Gas_Station_Tampons]

The knots are great, but that sweater is awesome!

[fearsomefawkes]

I've never thought of using it in a marlin spike. That's going to make my tarp experience so much better!

[YsabetJustYsabet]

Love the quickness of this knot. I used to know it (learned it as a Girlscout, I think) but hadn't used it in a while; good refresher. Thanks!

Watched 3 other videos but this was the one that helped me learn it the best.
