| Lets learn some Knots! Get a piece of rope about 2 feet long and follow the images to practice each knot. |
| Bowline Knot The most useful and one of the simplest ways of putting a fixed loop in the end of a rope. It is easy to tie and to untie, it never slips nor jams and has a high breaking strength. It has been called the "King of Knots" |
| Figure Eight The Figure Eight Knot is a stopper knot. It is used at the end of a line to keep it from slipping away. |
| Square Knot The best known and most useful parcel knot. It should preferably only be tied with the two ends of the same material. It is the best knot for tying a triangular bandage. Don't use it for lifting heavy loads. |
| Sheet Bend This knot is used when joining two ropes of different diameters together. The more tension you put on the lines the tighter the knot will become but will untie easily |
