Category: Loop on the end.
Origin: This is an ancient knot and is considered the 'King of Knots'. Related knots: There are many loop knots on the end but this is the loop knot of choice. It can be made and then secured over an object like all the other loop knots. But the other loop knots are unlike the Bowline that can be passed through any ring shape and then tied. This unique feature of the Bowline makes it a knot every one should master.

Efficiency: 60-75%
Caveats: None.
Comments: After learning the overhand knot and the figure eight knot in our youths 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.

Methods: This knot can be tied in a number of ways.

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.
