I don’t much like Expert Village. I’ve seen a lot of videos from them on different topics where it was clear that the person narrating the video had no experience at all in the field he was speaking about. This video here seemed okay, but then I’ve never tied a knot to a tree to descend from a clifftopf, so what do I know?
as said previously by others a bowline is fine to use so long as a stopper knot is tied and butted up snug to the knot of the bowline. and i know lots of people that can tie them correctly (me included) in theire sleep so incorrect tying is poppy cock, any knot can be tied wrong.
@Lvduggo69 a meion (french name) is the ony binner that can take a multi directional load. It’s a proper ‘D’ shape and is done up with a spanner lol. check them out. stay safe guys
Huh, what’s the big deal here about the bowline?
It is safe enough if you know how to tie it correctly! Have you ever heard about bowline failed?? Heh, I haven’t…
I never seen a multi directional beaner.
Is that a oxymoron. Jajajajajajajajajajaj !!!!
i use webbing wrapped around once with a water knot
but always double it up so use 2 dif pieces of webbing at the same place and hook caraabiner to it and run rope through both one breaks, you fall maybe an inch and your fine.
agreed, he is correct. Bowlines are easier to tie incorrectly however when you are tired and so forth. I’ve climbed on bowlines for years. Those half hitches though, I personally wouldn’t ever rock those…
A bowline will work (and is preferred by a lot of people I know) if tied correctly, and has the added benefit of being able to untie easily after being loaded (either the rope or the climber). Always back it up with a fishermans/safety as it is very easy to screw up a bowline. Just saying to cut the guy some slack, what he’s saying is fine.
climbing rope and bowlins kill asshole
no way would i let you anchor me off with a farkin’ bowline, shouldnt you be using a figure 8?
Anything with redundancy there bro? Sigh.
Check out the j-arms frictionless descender. Search for j-arms on You Tube. This device is unreal. There is nothing like on the market today. There is always an easier solution.
