Let me show you one of the most important survival in outdoor knots there is it's called the bowling knot so what we're going to do is is we're going to take and wrap your working end over your hand you're going to wrap the working end around your finger and so now you'll have a a coil one on top.

Brother you could essentially just do this right here and coil it on top of the other but i'm just showing you that because it'll be easier what we're gonna do is we're gonna take the rope up through the hole wrap around the back of the standing end and bring it back down through the loop.

And there's your bowline an easy way to remember this and what they teach kids is that the rabbit goes up through the hole goes around the back of the tree and goes back down in the hole and now you have a fixed loop having a loop that doesn't move is actually great for making shelters and tying things up so for.

Wrapping around a tree you've got a fixed loop that's not going to move on you now you can make your shelter you can rig something to a tree or you can rig something to your truck
