Bowline 

Comments: After learning the overhand knot and the figure-of-eight knot in our youth we should all be instructed on how to tie the Bowline. Many people are taught the slow and all thumbs 'Bunny' method. In fact it can be very fast to tie and under the most difficult of circumstances.

There are many 'loop on the end' knots. Like the others the bowline can be made and then secured over an object like a post. But the other loop knots are unlike the Bowline. The working end can first be passed through a ring object and then tied. This makes the line very secure. This unique feature of the Bowline makes it the loop knot of choice and a knot every one should master. One bowline tied to another is one of the very best ways of joining two ropes.
Structure:
Tying: This knot can be tied in a number of ways, including in the air, around an object, and around oneself.

The 'Bunny' method: form the hole, the bunny comes up through the hole, around the tree, and back down through the hole. This is a difficult and inferior way to tie.
