2 Minutes on Rope - Bowline

The bowline, with its tail secured appropriately, can be an excellent attachment knot. For example, it is often used to attach a stretcher and stretcher attendant to a hauling and lowering system; or in place of a figure 8 as a primary anchor attachment. The main advantage a bowline has over a figure 8, particularly as an anchor attachment, is that after being heavily and repeatedly loaded a figure 8 can take some effort to untie while a bowline remains quick and easy to untie. The main disadvantage of the bowline in such a scenario is that IF THE TAIL OF THE KNOT IS NOT SECURED APPROPRIATELY THE KNOT MAY COME UNDONE UNDER CYCLIC (REPEATED) LOADING. For this reason I recommend that a bowline only be used if at least two people in your party or team are familiar with its correct used - one to tie it and one to double-check it.
