Bowline
The bowline is a versatile and reliable knot used to create a secure loop at the end of a rope. It is valued for being easy to tie and untie, even after bearing weight. To tie a bowline, you make a small loop (the "rabbit hole"), pass the working end of the rope through it (the "rabbit"), around the standing part of the rope, and back down through the loop. This forms a firm, non-slipping loop that can be used for securing objects, rescue work, or sailing. Its strength and simplicity make it a popular choice in various settings.
