@colandline Excellent thank you very much for the advice. I'll give it some work tonight and see if I can get it pretty smooth.

@senokot89 Pay attention; he only used one hand to tie the knot. The other just supported the rope for the demo.

Hey this works great!! I was on a boat for two weeks and needed to know
this. I finally figured out how to tie one (with instructions) but I like this.
I don't agree with some of the comments. He uses two hand, instead of
throwing the rope over a branch or something. Good video, thanks. Helped a lot.

When I try this, I have troubles getting my hand out the handcuff. Any tips??

@Wiegieboard that's what I messed up in the video, too. It helps to have slack in the rope beneath the immobile hand as you go through all the motions. It also helped me a bit to have the handcuff up a bit closer to the elbow, in the muscular part of the arm.

To everyone commenting that you don't want to tie this around your abdomen... it depends on the situation. Most people, when they need a rope, aren't about to be hoisted vertically up a cliff or into a helicopter (which would already be using special equipment anyway). Rather, they're on a steep incline and can't get up without assistance. The bowline around the torso is to let rescuers assist them up the incline, rather than haul them up.

@inter10per Thanks for the comment. Each situation is unique, of course. Once you learn the skill, you can adjust accordingly.

@senokot89 Yep, as has been pointed out by several others. Send a response video with it tied correctly.
