Not a sailor and was going to add square knot until I looked up reef knot! Learning to tie a one handed bowline is a good skill, too. (Same knot, just technique to tie it around yourself in emergency. Don't want to be following the bunny out of the hole, around the tree, and back in the hole when you are on a sketchy cliff!)

And the bowline by itself is not adequate, as it comes undone under non-continuous load: finish it with a double overhand on the loop.
