Interesting Knot Tying Clip

Post by EmergencyExit »

At least it was to me - how to tie a "fast bowline" from Steve Colgate

As a lefty I find the bowline (along with others) difficult sometimes.

I need to practice that some, but it looks like a very handy trick.

Just you wait Mister...when we take over you'll be the one turning your scissors upside down to get them to cut right...and you'll have to buy special golf clubs.. :wink:

Actually I'm not a complete lefty, can't speak for others..I do not play guitar upside down, I deal cards same as a righty, but do turn the broom the opposite way, and bat left handed baseball..

The only thing my left hand is good for is holding whatever my right hand is working on.
