BOWLINE, CASTING
                                       METHOD

                                       Use the method of tying a bowline illustrated
                                       here when you need to fasten a line around an
                                       object. When synthetic rope is used to tie this
                                       knot, it might be less reliable. It is a good idea to
            /                          secure the end with an extra half-hitch, or tuck
                                       it and trap it beneath one of the rope's strands.
