    So I’ve noticed a lot of folks tie it this way. But typically with a bowline when you go “around the tree” you go around the back instead of the front like this. So that the tail ends up inside the loop not the outside. I’ve seen this know done both ways and it doesn’t appear to make any difference in terms of the end results but I’m curious if one is better over the other? Thanks for the video.

    • @lovelandfrogman9620
      @lovelandfrogman9620 6 месяцев назад

      Technically, the true bowline has the strand in the inside of the circle. My arborist instructor always said “a proper bowline doesnt leave your rabbit (end strand) homeless (outside of the loop)” lol

    • @plasmasquid
      @plasmasquid Месяц назад

      Regular bowline vs Dutch bowline. No difference in integrity, the Dutch Navy uses tail outside method. Useful if you need a tagine in hauling where the tail isn't impeded by the load like a regular tail-in-loop bowline.

  • @clutteredchicagogarage2720
    @clutteredchicagogarage2720 10 месяцев назад

    This is a solid knot. Recently, I've used figure-8s when climbing, but they're unnecessarily hard to untie. This retraced bowline is safe, secure and easy to untie. I think the double loop through the harness also theoretically reduces stress on the rope during falls.

    • @lovelandfrogman9620
      @lovelandfrogman9620 6 месяцев назад

      I like to throw in a yosemite tuck to my figure eight but leave the tuck loose so theres a grabbable loop that I can pull out of the fig 8 when untying :-) makes it so i can always untie even when pumped out lol

  • @Martijn_Poot
    @Martijn_Poot 2 года назад

    redirecting the two ends that go in you bag through a carabiner on your leg loop keeps them from going up in the bag and allows you to easily find them and pull some more slack out usually while continuing to rappel at the same time

      @ananda_miaoyin 2 года назад

      @@PapP148 Grigris are pretty small and must fart around a bit to get the rope in there. To drop a Big Ocho, you have to have some buttery butter nasty fingers! Either way, I think most of us who climb carry extra gear so no big deal. Not sure if you meant 'stop reaching' or 'stop preaching' Works either way, though!

  • @georgebanks8436
    @georgebanks8436 6 лет назад

    Thanks for an awesome video and technique. One issue I always find with the Canadian drop loop is that, if you and your partner split the ends of the rope in Kiwi Coils and clip in further than 40 feet apart, it seems like you would need either a 60M or possibly 70M rope to have enough spare rope to perform this technique. You could definitely get some extra distance by using your idea to clip into one of the extra alpine butterfly loops on the rope, but what if there aren't any (i.e. you are within a few feet of the crevasse lip) and your partner is unable to ascend? It seems like you would then need to haul on the loaded strand, which would require some sort of load transfer to unweight the fixed alpine butterfly? Just curious if I am wrong, but to me, it seems that the Canadian Drop Loop requires a really long rope or for you to have all of the extra coils on the right end.

    • @KafAdventures
      @KafAdventures 6 лет назад

      George, thanks for the comment. if you even space with extra coils you will end up slightly short, you are right! However, you can always tie a knot anywhere along the first dropped loop to start your haul. Clipping the knots on the loaded side is always and option and has worked nearly 99% of the time.

  • @terryeyland5305
    @terryeyland5305 6 лет назад

    Thanks for the video. Learned a few things. Wouldn't you want to have a locker on the victim though? Also, when ascending the rope, I normally use a foot prussik and a waist prussik. Unless I did not see right you seem to only have a belay device on the waist. What would happen if you let go of everything?

    • @JasonOgasian
      @JasonOgasian 6 лет назад

      I believe he had the belay device clipped in "guide mode" so that it's auto-locking. I've never seen a guide -mode device used this way...not sure I'd trust it :-P

    • @georgebanks8436
      @georgebanks8436 6 лет назад

      The ATC is in guide mode. It is safe to use that way and a great way to switch from rapping to ascending. You need to unweight the ATC with a foot loop on a prusik above the ATC, then clip it into the belay loop with a locker in guide mode. This is commonly done and just as secure as using a prusik as your progress capture. And as always, you can always throw some overhands knots on bites below the ATC and clip them into your harness as you ascend to create an extra layer of security should the system fail

    Awesome video! I just went canyoneering with a guy that uses the munter mule on every pitch we descend. That way you can lower someone down if there's ever an emergency in which the person on rope gets stuck and they don't know how to (or can't) self-rescue. (ie: get hair caught in the belay device on their way down).
