Tip
Tip: Use a bowline when you need a strong loop that can still be undone
How to do it: Use a bowline knot for a strong loop that can be untied after loading
Mistake it fixes: Using a knot that cannot be undone for a temporary loop
Why it works: Bowlines hold strongly under load yet can be untied, making them ideal for temporary loops.
When it matters most: Knots, bowline
