Single Loop Knots
Bowline on a Bight
The Bowline on a Bight is good parallel loop knot
to use when you need hand loops to tug on the rope to get it unstuck from
a vine-choked branch. It is easy to tie and does not readily jam, so it
is usually easy to untie after applying a load. |
Step #1 |
Start with a bight of rope. |
 |
Step #2 |
Form a loop by bringing the end over the standing
part. |
 |
Step #3 |
Insert the end of the bight through the loop. |
 |
Step #4 |
Grasp the end of the bight and bring it toward you
and down across the bottom of the loop. |
 |
Step #5 |
With your hand still on the end of the bight, drag
it beneath all the material that makes up the loop so that it ends up behind
the standing part. |
