Back in the previous concept of reply#111, tying the left bear(Enhaut’s) loop in a straightforward TIB method, would be very difficult for me to depict, so i’m going to use an indirect method of tying, whereby, a low level TIB fixed eyeknot, in this case, the TIB cowboy bwl, is transformed to the requested bear knot.

1. The scheme, left bight, central bight, S loop is used.

1. Feed the left bight up through the right S loop.

1. Central bight through the left bight

I’m quite sure that i’m not the only one to come across this inline knot, perhaps some other inline knot explorers have generated it in some way, but it certainly has no presence in [Abok](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/9845).

Well, it holds some interest if loaded from the nipping loop side (left SP), but loading it from the right SP, it will deform to a helical eyeknot.

Also it worths noting the linear equivalence with the TIB cowboy bwl, shown in next image.

Hence, the tying method described above, could be considered as an alternative/indirect TIB method of tying the cowboy bwl.

Now, the maneuver of feeding the eye through the nipping loop, exactly as depicted below, forms the required overhand, and with some slight dressing, the bear knot.
