The bowline knot is a type of knot used to create a fixed loop at the end of a rope. It is known for its strength and reliability, making it a popular choice in various applications, including sailing, climbing, and rescue operations. The knot is easy to tie and untie, even after being subjected to heavy loads. To tie a bowline knot, form a small loop in the rope, then pass the working end through the loop from underneath. Next, wrap the working end around the standing part of the rope and bring it back down through the loop. This creates a secure loop that does not slip.
