peacefuljeffrey 0 #1 January 13, 2006 Just curious how many people here know how to tie more than just the standard shoelace tie and square knot. If you're a knot-afficionado, let's read about some of the named knots you know how to make.-Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I have something like 10 or so books about knots. Any of you have the king of all of them -- The Ashley Book of Knots? I'm lucky: my brother bought it for me as a birthday gift a few years ago. Yeah, messing around with knots is a lot of fun. That's why I always have a piece or two of spare 550 cord in my pocket -- just to be able to play whenever I'm bored. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

RhondaLea 4 #20 January 14, 2006 After the word "desired," type a [ followed by a / followed by a "b" followed by a ]. So it'll look like [ / b ] but without the spaces.If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,119 #21 January 14, 2006 Ah, knots. There are hundreds, but if you know about a dozen you can do almost anything with a rope. The square knot has probably been responsible for more grief than all other knots put together. It just isn't a very good knot, especially when used as a bend. If you must use a knot like this a surgeon's knot is a much better choice. The bowline is almost infinitely adaptable. You can do a lot with it. Prusik knots actually work; that's just bizarre. They don't look like they should work, but they're invaluable when you are rigging something that you want to hoist or to adjust later. You can use two pieces of 6mm cord to climb any rope with these knots. Munter hitches are a little less bizarre but are still a suprisingly simple way to rappel, even though they look all wrong. The Carrick bend is an almost foolproof way to connect two ropes. The water knot is simpler and almost as good. The clove hitch is pretty useful in sailing and rigging whenever you need to attach a rope to a pole (or other large object.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
