    double bowline?

    i have been toled by wrongheaded people that this is a double bowline too (and a bowline bend): this is about the weakest way to join two ropes and i also been told it is wrong. a perpetuated myth. the real non-weak way to do it is to make the rabbit hole with one rope and use the other rope end as the rabbit. then do the opposite to finish it. then it is one of the strongest ways to join two ropes. bowline craziness in the middle of the night.

    double bowline?

    that looks like a french bowline. some climbers call it a bowline on a bight though it really isnt. the bowline on a bight would have two strands making the 'rabbits hole'. the seascouts f-ed it up. there is even nomenclature for which way the rabbit goes around the tree. it is kina funny that the coast guard tests on shit like bowlines but they are hardly ever used on a boat. the really bitchin bends are so weird to tie when under pressure of time and bad weather thats when the bowline comes out: weakest link.
  9. i visited a guy i know yesterday to borrow a crash pad (i climb little rocks too beehotches) and his fukin dogs jumped all over me the whole time i was at his house. he did ask if i liked dogs. i coulnt really tell him i just didnt like his dogs jumping on me while i was borrowing shit from him. i wont mention the story of the puppy gettin squashed his owner falling off a boulder problem cuz it sucked.

    double bowline?

    the figure eight and double bowline are essentially the same strength. that is they weaken a rope to about the same extent (like arond to 75% of original strength). the single bowline will weaken a rope to about 60% of original strength. you will find many different knots labeled bowline. just like how the 'bowline-on-a-bight' you know is probably a french bowline. the link you gave works for me to describe a 'double bowline'.
