French Bowline

The French Bowline is a variation of many doubled looped bowlines, including the French Bowline. Use for rescue or for safety purposes however, should be done with caution, as the loops can slip when loaded individually. A three or four loop version is equally makable using the same technique as shown here. For rescue work the bowline in the bight is much more suitable.
