Starting out from the basic TIB core of flash bowline, i shall put into operation a rather new method of tying, which is tailored to a midline formation.
-
First image illustrates the scheme, left bight, central bight, S loop from left to right.
-
Feed the right S loop down through the left bight as shown in second image (caution: the loop through the bight and not the bight through the loop as usually).
-
Feed the central bight down through the loop from the previous step and there you have the flash bowline of third image.
-
Thread the eye through the turn as indicated by the white arrow of fourth image.
This maneuver creates a variation of 1054 farmer’s loop with an overhand component.
The overhand component is essential because within the process of collapsing the eye by the " fold and pull up through" action, this very overhand is transformed to the nipping loop of the bowline.
