One handed bowline
One handed bowline is very useful in an emergency or rescue situation. If you tie it on the waist to drag an object, it will give you maximum grip to hold it tight. While tying this knot, you still need to be careful. There are several methods to tie the knot, but if you are a beginner and do not know much about ropes, you can always start tying the knot by wrapping the line around your waist. This will give you an easy way to hold the rope while being on the opposite side of the rope. Being on the opposite side of the standing part, you can see the rope as well. You need to make sure that you tie the knot from at-least 6 inches of the line while you grip the working end. -
