The Running Bowline

---

Use it to hang gear, drag game, or form a snare. The beauty of this knot is that it does not weaken rope and is easy to untie. -"Keith McCafferty

1., 2. Form a bight near one end of the rope, then pass the tag end around the standing part of the rope and back through the bight, forming a large noose.
3. Pass the tag end under and around the rope just ahead of, and then back up through, the bight.
4. Tighten, but allow the running end of line to pass through the knot freely.
