Sea knots and the skill of knitting them is an indispensable thing in any hike, travel and other extreme trips to nature. In order not to be caught off guard by any extreme situation on the trip, you need to prepare and foresee everything in advance.
Instructions
Step 1
You can tie two different cords with an ordinary straight knot, if the cords are not heavily loaded. The threads of each cord should come out from the same side when making a straight knot.
Step 2
If the rope needs to be attached to some stationary object (such as a noose or a post), use a bayonet knot. To do this, throw a rope over the base, make two or three half-loops (half-bayonets) with the free end, and fasten the remaining end firmly.
Step 3
If you pull off the half-bayonet knot half-bayonets, you get a knotted knot that is suitable for tying one cord to the center of another on a round block of wood or other round base.
Step 4
You can also tie a strap or pull knot that is used to secure an object under constant tension.
Step 5
Another attachment point is called a boat. Tie one end of the rope around a static object that is firmly on the ground, and the other end through a loop around the can of a boat or other item you wish to secure.
Step 6
The stop knot is used to temporarily tension and hold the cable. Tie one end of the cable tightly to the base rope, and wind the free end around the rope.
Step 7
Use the arbor assembly in cases when it is necessary to raise or lower a person somewhere. Tie a knot to form a loose, non-tightening loop.
Step 8
There is also a towing knot that helps secure the rope with a strong loop on a hook or other object under tension - it needs to be knitted in a sequential figure eight.
Step 9
Use a grapevine or stray end knot to connect two ropes of the same thickness. Tie the end of one rope over the second, and the end of the second rope on the back over the first. Tighten the ends and pull them apart.
