OK, you know how to form a bowline. That is
useful for rescue lines. but what if you are hanging from a cliff and
someone gets a rope to you. you can't let go of the ledge or you fall.
What do you do? Tie a one handed bowline.
Step #1Hold
the rope around your waist (W) and pass the running end over the
standing part
Step #2Without
letting go of the running end, pass this over and around the rope
towards you to form a loop around your wrist.
Step #3Pass
the running end behind the standing part and take hold of it again.
Step #4Pull the
running end through the loop to form the bowline. Secure with an
overhand knot(K).
