How To Tie a Bowline...Correctly

The bowline is a pretty easy knot to learn and can be pretty useful. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find a list of essential knots, or basic knots, or any other list that doesn't have the bowline on it.

There are dozens of variations of the bowline, but the most important first step is to just learn to tie a bowline and tie it correctly and recognize when it is tied wrong. Then add in some tricks like a snap bowline or slipknot bowline, and a one-handed bowline.
