Bowline Knot

The Bowline is one of the most usefull knots you can know. In fact, if you only were to commit one knot to memory, this should probably be the one !

The bowline forms a secure loop that will not jam and is easy to tie and untie. It can be tied around objects, can be tied into any size loop and even after being under load can be untied. Truly a versatile trusty knot !

• Form an eye in the rope with the standing part underneath.
• Run the free end up through the eye then take a turn around the standing part.
• Feed the free end back down into the eye and hold there while pulling standing part to tighten down the knot.
