23/ bowline
Scavenger Hunt/23 Knots

An ancient knot, often used in boating operations.

One of the most useful knots you can know. The Bowline forms a secure loop that will not jam and is easy to tie and untie. The Bowline is most commonly used for forming a fixed loop, large or small at the end of a line. Tried and tested over centuries, this knot is reliable, strong and stable. Even after severe tension is applied it is easy to untie.

The bowline is sometimes referred to as King of the knots because of its importance. Along with the sheet bend and the clove hitch, the bowline is often considered one of the most essential knots.

I haven't tried to tie this knot before - maybe I should - especially if it's a "king" of knots!
