Are you familiar with these 5 essential knots?

Bowline Knot

Use this knot to tie fixed, super-strong, non-jamming loops. The bowline knot makes a secure loop at the end of a piece of rope. It works best when it’s holding a load, which helps to keep the knot tight and secure. And it has many uses, for example, you can use these rope knots to fasten a mooring line to a ring or a post. Rescue operations use bowline knots in repelling. You can even link two bowlines together to join to pieces of rope.

How to Tie a Bowline Knot

1. Make a small loop in the rope.
2. Pass the working end up through the loop you just made.
3. Pass the working end around the standing end of the rope.
4. Then, bring it back down through the loop.
5. Pull it tight, and you’re all set.
