Did it!
Meggle a meggle a meggle heh heh heh! (ref - Whacky Races)

I think a lot of old scouts will manage that.

ETA
If I remember correctly, tying a bowline with a busted arm was one of the Pioneer badge tasks.

I could probably do it two handed, with eyes closed without needing to look up how to tie a bowline first.

One handed though? Now that would be a step too far for me. It would look funny though if some one walked in halfway through and I had to explain what I was doing.

Like many things, it’s not difficult once you see it done.

In case its not clear - the whole One arm , non dominant , eyes shut is obvs to replicate the worst case situation where one may have to tie a Bowline - at night , broken arm , on a cliff face.
