I would never recommend a metal bottle. I've seen guys chip their teeth on these metal bottles. Use plastic bottles or metal bottles with soft rubber tops.
Its is pronounced bow-linn. I am a full time commercial fishermen, your argument is invalid. You get your head kicked in at the dock for saying bow-line.
Hey ITS! Thanks for the awesome videos! I always enjoy your 'Knot Of The Week' tutorials :)
1 question though, I'm no expert but I wouldn't use a double-fisherman's knot in this sort of situation (clove hitch or right angle knots seem better suited, even if you're only pulling on 1 end)... I was just wondering why you chose this knot? Is there not enough space under the bottle cap for one of the knots I mentioned? Or did you just find grip the knot has on the bottle sufficient for this purpose?
@539forgotten a double fisherman's knot can be adjusted as shown in the vid, but it only locks off when the two dbl-overhand (stopper) knots, that make up the double fisherman, slide up against each other - not secure
I use this type of knot for a necklace/tool of mine to get it on and off easily, but I would want something more secure if I had it attached to a bottle/bottlecap - I do a bit of climbing and wouldn't want to drop the bottle if i had to grab it by the cap for example
@bugsy1491 Ahh true... I'm a bit of a roping nerd. I find double fishermans would be ok, true it's not properly secure but I tie them reasonably tight when I use them like this. If it needs to be that secure you can tie a similar knot to ones you use to ascend. They are generally one way.
when on ship or in the jungle I tend to dummy cord a bunch of my gear to my body, jungle bush is a surprisingly good pick pocket and we all know what happens when you gear falls over the side of a naval vessel of any size, it sinks. good video, nice bottle, good knots.
Damn right it is a BOW-line knot. Marines know how to say it because we use Naval terms. It annoyed me greatly when good ol' southern US Army boys would drawl out a boooowliiine knot, but as long as you know how to tie it I can care less about how people say it, as long as they know what the hell I'm saying.
When the tugs are bringing my tanker to the dock, if I am working the forward deck, as opposed to midhsips or aft,I run out a "bow line" and attach a heaving line using a bowline to attach. I pronounce them differently, or it could get a bit confusing. I would get laughed off the ship if I called the knot BOW LINE. It is not a subjective archaic grammar rule, just a way to communicate clearly and quickly as is often needed when working aboard ship.
can you use type 3 cord?

Or you could just buy one from WalMart that already has the top attached to it by a clever little do-hickey.......; )

I don't say bowline (ans in bow of the ship-line) or bowlin, (as in bow tie, linnnnnn). I say bowline (as in bow of the ship-line). I feel left out.

@bugsy1491 Probably because double fisher mans is secure and easily adjustable.
