Of all of the videos I’ve seen this is the easiest way to tie this knot. Thank you so much!

I can’t even tell you how many times I practiced the rabbit goes in the hole.  Bla bla bla. This is a perfect and easy Peasy way to nail that bowline. Thank you !

At 1.22 it is not correct to say it doesn't matter which way the working end goes through the loop.  For a proper Bowline the working end must be on the inside of the loop in the finished knot.  Tied with the working end on the outside of the loop in the finished knot makes a Cowboy Bowline which is far less secure.  Although superficially similar it is very different in its robustness especially over variable loading.

This is called a spilled bowline. If the working end is on the outside it’s called a cowboy knot. We don’t use the cowboy in stage rigging because of the potential for it to snag other close by objects in the air.

Yes!! this is the quick way that I have been looking for years A buddy of mine who I help with projects and knows nothing about knots but he could bust out a super-fast bowline  and I would always say what the hell is that!   That can't be a bowline.    I would inspect his line and it would be the same exact knot that I tied super slow in about 10 seconds.  Love this vid!!!👍👍👍

You have a cowboy bowline. Tail needs to be inside loop for strongest form, i.e. traditional bowline. You can achieve this by putting working end through the slip knot in the opposite direction.

This is awesome, been practicing the classic one for a week and this one is wayyyy easier

Sire, you are a freaking genius. I know boy scouts can tie this knot with one hand, with their eyes closed, behind their backs, while they sleep--but I couldn't even after watching a dozen videos. You explanation was well shot, it had great audio, and it had NO stinking background music. Best yet, you are the only video I've watched that actually explains how to achieve a loop of the size that YOU want and not the size the rope decides to make! I am so inspired, I may next attempt to learn how to read and write! Thanks, again! Carry on....

Stormin Norman here; you showed me the best way. I watched others and your way so much better. Thank You.

Brilliant. I regularly will create the loop and then find out I've done the loop the wrong way and it doesn't work. This method avoids that issue. Thanks

Excellent. So much easier than the Rabbit. Thanks.

Looked at a bunch of bowline videos. You get two thumbs up!...actually showed how the knot works. Awesome job. Bowline, cowboy bowline, who cares, great knot.

Best bowline tying video ever!!  Thanks
