5. If the rabbit starts
                                             from the outside, you
                                             get an inside bowline. In
                                             laid-construction (three
                                             twisted strands), this is
                                             more secure due to the
                                             way the twists interact.
                                             This is the form most
                                             people learn and use for
                                             all ropes.














                                         6. when the bowline must
                                         not untie accidentally, the
                                         best method is to add an
                                         overhand knot.
