We stumbled across this page today, while wondering (on Google), “is carbon fiber conductive?”
(Don’t ask why we were researching that … it’s a long story. And not a very interesting one. But yes, it turns out, carbon fiber is quite electrically conductive – who knew? Well, lots of people probably. Look at how much space we took up, we could have told you our boring story by now …)
Anyway, this is a bowline knot:
I love the story she tells, for how to remember the correct way to tie this knot:
My father taught me the knot using the story of the otter. The loop is a pond and the line going towards the top is a tree. The working end of the line is the otter. The otter is swimming underwater and comes out of the pond, walk around the tree and slips back into the water.
