Bowlines make effective nonslipping loops at the end of a line. These can be used for rescuing someone or any other purpose where a fixed loop is needed. Remember that paracord should not be used as climbing rope unless it’s an emergency situation.

1. Shape the cord like the letter “e.”

2. Pass the working end up through the loop and under the standing end as shown. Be sure to hold the cut end where you want it so it doesn’t become too long after everything has been tightened.

3. Pass the working end back down through the loop. Then hold the bottom loop and the cut end of the paracord in one hand while pulling the top single piece of paracord with your other hand to tighten the knot.

4. The finished bowline. The fixed loop can be made to any size desired.
