Dee Hall Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 It's also one of the knots most often done incorrectly. Make sure it looks right after you tighten it.-Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyork Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have a series of 8 photos that depict how to tie this knot in 2 seconds. I would like to share this with the general readership, but lack the wherewithall to post this to a weblink. Is there a kind soul out there to whom I could E my photos, for placement on such a site? Yes-thank you David Lewis. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob budd Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 If you mean the animated knots only work in IE I had no problems at home with Firefox 1.5.07 (originally said Thunderbird). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nystrom Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 ...not a browser. If you mean Firefox, it doesn't work with version 1.5.07, which is the current version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankR Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Get a MAC - link works fine with Safari, Firefox (1.5.0.7) and Camino.In Boy Scouts I learned it this way: the rabbit comes up out of the hole, goes around the tree and back into the hole. The hard part is making sure you make the hole by taking the short end of the line and looping it over the long end and bringing the rabbit up from underneath - you either tie it correctly or it falls apart.

By not work do you mean the blue animated rope does not display for you??What OS are you using? I see the animated rope here using Fox 1.5.07 under Win2000 and Linux (Debian Unstable)Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob budd Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Maybe you need something other than dial-up, that's all they have north of the border in Cow Hampshire, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccarlson Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Yes, it's true. Dial-up only. And, no cable TV, no Starbucks, no nothing. Y'all just stay south of the border.... nothing to see here;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Just Kevlar, Entrant, and fuzzy rubber up there in the North Woods, ayuahh?BTW, WFM in FireFox 1.5.0.7.--David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you are only familiar with the southern tier/quasi Mass. part. Up here we don't dial, we crank a bit, Shirley answers, and we give her the name of the person we want to talk to. So much easier than trying to remember all those numbers.Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsprag1 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Ditto on the rabbit and the hole---this whole thread could be "How many techies does it take to learn how to tie a bowline?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'm a closet geek, but I am not a techie. So how many of you non-techies or techies know the two ways to tie a bowline that results in a "bowline" knot and why the one shown is the better way to tie the knot? Bonus points for the easiest way to make the knot secure from accidentaly coming loose.Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankR Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 http://www.animatedknots.com/bowlineboating says when the bitter end (why's it called that? - that wasn't covered in boy scouts) is on the outside of the loop, rather than in the middle, as shown, its called a "Dutch Marine" or "Left handed" bowline - and the Dutch navy claims its better. Also has interesting discussions on improving its safety. This is a great site by the way - lots of info. >Ok, I'm a closet geek, but I am not a techie.

jason Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 With firefox, mozilla & seamonkey you need to set Animated images should loop to once or "As many times as the image specifies" if it is set to never you will not see the knot. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
