The Bowline knot

The bowline knot is a reliable and versatile knot used to form a secure loop at the end of a rope. It’s created by making a small loop, then passing the free end of the rope through this loop, around the standing part, and back down through the original loop. The result is a strong, fixed loop that resists slipping under load but is easy to untie when needed. Commonly used in sailing, rescue work, and camping, the bowline’s strength and ease of tying make it a practical choice for securing objects or creating rescue harnesses.
