Burlington Bowline - Old Version
A very fast, very stable single column tie. Once you master it, it takes only 20-30 seconds to tie
By Lazarus Redmayne
Here is an amazingly fast and stable single column, originally invented by the amazing Tracker of Innovative Fiber Arts of Vermont. Once you master it, you can tie it in 20-30 seconds!For this tie, I used one 15' (~5m) piece of Natural 6mm (1/4") hemp provided by my affiliate Twisted Monk. Check them out for some amazing hemp rope!

The Burlington Bowline - Inline
There are many reasons why you might want to tie a single column around something but do so in the middle of your rope when one end is already anchored. To do so you need an “inline” type of single column. A simple variation on the Burlington Bowline works great for this!
