Portuguese Bowline
Creates two adjustable loops for climbing or rescue.
The Portuguese Bowline is a versatile knot that forms two adjustable loops, ideal for securing objects at varying heights or distances. It is commonly used in climbing, rescue operations, and sailing. The loops can be adjusted even after tightening, making it useful for dynamic situations. However, equal strain must be placed on both loops to prevent unintended size changes during use.
