The Yosemite bowline is not much in use presumely due to its complexity (compared to other knots, like the truckers hitch) . furthermore it tends to get stuck more easily then other knots when applied on certain types of rope!!
Still it was a fine demonstration, but did you know the bowline has two variants and therefor the Yosemite has too?
The variants are called the dutch and french bowline and depends on the way the loose end is tied around the rope, leaving the rope-end outside or inside!
Great comment. This is a fine example of "rediscovery" and re-purposing. I am not sure that I agree with the contention that it gets stuck since it breaks open the same way as a regular bowline. I have still not seen this anywhere else. I would love to see a reference to the Yosemite tied in the bight and used as a reeve point.
I will have to do some looking as to the Dutch and French Bowline
To get a heavingpoint one can use "truckers-knot". There are several of them here on YT.
Truckers-knot is simply a loop in the bight and Ashley describes several of them. I dont have my book close now so i cant give you a referencenumber. Sorry...
That is what Scorpion Regent said it was called. What I said was that I did not find it in ABoK. Even the Yosemite is not tied in the bight however which makes a convenient reeve point.
I have seen this knot called a Yosemite bowline when it is tied at the end of a rope. This is the first time I have seen it tied in the bight of the rope. The circumstances I would use it in are very limited, It's not very common for me to have to tie a fixed loop in a bight around a object that I can't reach around one of the ends. I will keep the knot in my tool box for when it's needed. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks. I often doubt that there is anything new under the sun. Particularly for the Bowline. To clarify I couldn't find it in ABoK, or for that matter any of the other knot books I have. I find it useful as the anchor point for the truckers hitch and for a hoist point. Thanks for the comment.
This is a variation on the triple bowline. You are taking the bite and creating a Yosemite Back-up, which is used on single bowlines in rescue and climbing. The Yosemite was created to keep the bowline bite from rolling. It is in many publications, including "On Rope" (pg47). This variation is often used as an equalized anchor on the two bites w/ master point on the single loop. I noticed the "Sailor" method used to tie the bowline (Ashley's 1010). Thanks, I love to see people tie variations.

Cumbersome and redundant in my opinion....
