The Bowline in the Bight is quick, fun to tie, and makes a nice double
loop. If tied near the end of a rope, the running end can be secured to
the standing part with yet another Bowline. Just make a crossing turn in
the standing part and bring the running end up through it, around the
standing part, and back down through the crossing turn just like in a
Bowline. This can be done with any knot where the running end comes
out of the knot parallel to the standing part.
BUNTLINE HITCH
The name of the Buntline Hitch comes from its use on sailing ships as a
hitch that would not shake free when both the rope and the sail (a bunt
is the middle portion of a sail) it was tied to moved in the wind.
Make one turn around the object, then make two Half Hitches (as
shown). Note that the second Half Hitch is between the object and the
first Half Hitch.
This hitch traps the running end very tightly. Learn this knot, and you
will also know how to tie a common necktie knot.
