that for illustration purposes, it hasn’t been tightened in

Note: Many people remind themselves about how to tie this
knot by reciting the simple mnemonic phrase, “The rabbit
pops out of its hole, runs behind and around the tree, and
scurries back into its hole.” The rabbit popping out of its
hole would be step 2, running behind and around the tree
would be step 3, and scurrying back into its hole would be
step 4.

Possible Uses:
1. There are almost too many uses for a bowline to men-
tion. As noted in the description about this particular
knot, it is often used when a loop is needed that won’t
constrict and get tight around the item it is tied to. If
you’ve ever tried to tie a loop in the end of a rope only
to have it constrict around the item it’s tied to, or if your
knot becomes untied when you pull on the standing end,
you may want to consider using a bowline.

2. This knot can be used for tying a loop in the end of a rope
that will be used to secure a tent guy line.
3. If you have the need to tie a raft or canoe to a tree while
floating on a river, you can use the bowline to securely
tether your boat.
