🪢 Knots
Five knots cover almost everything: loops, stoppers, joins, hitches and a tension line for tents and tie-downs.
- 🪢 KnotsTie a bowlineA fixed loop that won't slip or jam, and still unties easily after holding a heavy load.
- 🪢 KnotsTie a clove hitchThe fastest way to tie a rope to a post or rail, and it's easy to adjust.
- 🪢 KnotsTie a figure-eight stopperA chunky knot at the end of a rope that stops it slipping through a hole, a pulley or your hand.
- 🪢 KnotsTie a reef (square) knotThe flat, tidy knot for bandages, bundles and bag tops. Two crossings, and the order is the whole trick.
- 🪢 KnotsTie a taut-line hitchAn adjustable loop that holds tension. Slide it to tighten a tent line or a load tie-down.
