And now - more.
Bulin, despite the amazing compactness,contains at the same time elements of several nodes: weaving, simple, straight and polushtyka. Their certain combination also gives some kind of universality. Bowline-knot knits surprisingly simple, does not slip and does not spoil the cables. Even with strong tension, it will not drag “tightly”. The bulin will not untie itself, but if necessary, it can be “dismissed” almost instantly.

The ability to quickly tie them around their ownA waist can always come in handy. It will be great if you learn to do it in a continuous movement, with one hand and in the dark. How to tie a bowline knot?
Step one. We take the root end of the rope (cable) with our left hand, and with the right we enclose the running end around the waist, behind ourselves.
Step Two. We take the suspension end with the right brush and, stepping back from the edge of about 10 cm, we clamp in the fist.
Step Three. Take the root end to the left hand and drawa hand. The cable should stretch slightly. With the right brush, in which the running end of the rope is clamped, we bend around the root end of our cable from above and down, towards ourselves, then up (already away from ourselves). Movement with a brush is done so that it does not fall into the loop as a whole.
Step Four. We enclose the running end around the radical end stretched to the left and intercept it with our right hand (forefinger and thumb).
Step Five. We pull the right hand out of the loop and at the same time push the running end into the small loop. The knot around your waist is tied.
Now this explanation may seem ridingdifficulties. However, as soon as you tie up your first bowline knot, an understanding will come that in fact there is not much manipulation and there is really nothing difficult. A couple of days of training will help to tie a knot by touch, without looking.
