Bowline started with an overhand

Hey SWL, if you get Yiorgos to give ya some knot-tying lessons again... I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love a video of it.

I generally can't learn how to tie a knot from a description.

We had a go at making a Bowline tutorial.

It's a great knot but does have its limitations and is overused in my opinion... The round turn and two half hitches can be undone under load, very useful if you are doing things in a stronger wind.
