Indeed

What about alpine butterfly knots instead of the old bowline?

I learned a lot from this guy. I would use at minimum a double bowline with stopper knot.

The single bowline with the Yosemite finish looks like what I’ll use.

I’m not familiar. I’ll have to look it up.

Looks like a good quick knot to put in the center to get it a little shorter. I think you’d be limited on how short you can get it with that knot though. It reminds me of a dropper knot. Cool!

If I want a lot more secure bowline I use the double. I sometimes am not sure where to go with the Yosemite end. If you do it wrong the knot can fall apart.

That or the back up double fisherman will be fine for me.

I cant see regular bowline knots failing. We used this not for parasailing all the time and never killed anybody. Lots of weird stuff going on all day and that knot never came loose or failed. Now we use a soft shackle. shout out @Red Beard . Somebody did just die down in the keys though...woops! Not the knots fault tho. Cpt. Was an ******* n shouldnt have been flying people in that wind.
