Knot Tying: How to Tie the Bowline Knot
In this knot tutorial video Jason demonstrates how to tie the classic Bowline Knot, the Double Bowline Knot, and the Running Bowline Knot.
The Bowline is a classic and simple knot used to form a reasonably secure fixed loop at the end of a rope. In my opinion the Bowline is one of the top 3 most important knots for bushcraft and wilderness skills or wilderness survival.
Its a knot thats easy to tie and untie; and in some ways more importantly its easy to untie even after being subjected to a heavy load.
A lot of people will remember the Bowline Knot by the little mnemonic used to teach to teach it. Its the “Rabbit and the Tree” rhyme.
First imagine the end of the rope as a rabbit, and where the knot will begin on the standing part, a tree trunk. First a loop is made near the end of the rope, which will act as the rabbit's hole. Then the "rabbit" comes up the hole, goes round the tree right to left, and then back down the hole.
How to Tie the Bowline Knot
- Lay the rope across your left hand with the free end hanging down.
- Form a small counter clockwise loop in the line in your hand.
- Bring the free end up to and pass through the loop from the under side (the rabbit comes out of the hole).
- Wrap the line around the standing line and back down through the loop (around the tree and back down the hole).
- Tighten the knot by pulling on the free end while holding standing line.
