DAY

Tucked bowline

Despite all the eulogies to the bowline, not

everyone loves it. This variation was devised by
Captain Alfred Henry Alston to make the knot more

secure, and it’s certainly worth getting into the habit
of tying it this way when using modern ropes.

1 Make your loop using either the rabbit-around-the-tree method (here)

or the fast method.
