1. KNOT TYING By: Remy Gutierez INSTRUCTOR I https://www.outdoorlife.com/photos/gallery/hunting/2012/02/essential-knots-how-tie-20-knots-will-keep-you-alive/

2. KNOTS I n cording, the interlacement of parts of one or more ropes, cords, or other pliable materials, commonly used to bind objects together. Knots have existed from the time humans first used vines and cordlike fibres to bind stone heads to wood in primitive axes.

3. Knots were also used in the making of nets and traps, but knot making became truly sophisticated only when it began to be used in the ropes, or rigging, that controlled the sails of early sailing vessels.  

4. Knot making thus became the province of sailors, who historically showed great skill and ingenuity in devising various kinds of knots for different purposes. With the coming of steam-powered engines to propel ships, the use of sails, rigging, and knots was much reduced, a trend that has continued even on modern sailboats because of the use of special cleats, winches, and other  alternative  devices to control the rigging. 

5. Knots are still widely used in daily life, though, and are depended on by campers and hikers, mountaineers, fishermen, and weavers, among others, or even by a person tying a shoelace or a package.

8. Classification of Knots and its types

9. clove hitch The clove hitch is an old tie with many outdoor uses. This ancient connection has been used successfully by people since the early 1500s, as shown in old paintings. Today’s uses for the clove hitch cover a wide range of activities, especially for boaters, campers and for use with outdoor vehicles. 

10. The Square Knot The square knot is a classic for connecting lines and tying knots. Whether you are tying two ropes together to make a longer rope, or you are tying up a bundle of firewood to carry, the square knot is a winner. It’s much more secure and stable than its cousin the granny knot, which everyone is probably familiar with as part of tying their shoes.

11. The Bowline This is known as the “king of knots,” simply because it’s one of the best for many uses, plus it can be untied rather easily. It’s a bread-and-butter Scouting knot because it has so many woodcraft and outdoor uses. The bowline is an ancient knot. Some folks say it harkens back to the era of wooden ships. 

12. The Figure Eight The figure eight knot creates a stopper wherever you need one on a rope, though the steps are the same for several other knots, as well.

13. The Double Sheet Bend Connecting two lines of differing materials or sizes is a common requirement. Boaters, campers, hikers, and anglers all need to do this at times, and the double sheet bend is a fast method to accomplish it.

14. Two Half Hitches You can use two half hitches to secure a line to trees or poles, or to secure the line to itself like you would tying a trucker’s hitch. 

15. The Taut-Line Hitch Boy Scouts have been using this superb adjustable loop knot for generations. Even when it’s used under extreme tension, a taut-line hitch can be adjusted to lengthen or shorten a line. This makes it valuable to anglers securing boats to docks, especially in saltwater where tide changes can mandate quick and easy line adjustments.

16. The Fisherman’s Knot True to its name, the fisherman’s knot, is pretty much only good for using with fishing line.

17. The Water Knot The water knot safely secures webbing, flat belts, and most types of straps together.

18. The Rolling Hitch The rolling hitch adds a leg to an existing line. This hitch is the basic knot behind a taut-line hitch, but it can be added to any existing line. The rolling hitch was often used historically to hook more dogs to a dog sled main line.

19. The Prusik Knot The Prusik knot creates a loop that can be used as an ascender or decender . This “slide and grip” knot can also be handy for adding a loop to a rope when neither end of the rope is free.

20. The Timber Hitch The timber hitch secures a rope to an object for hauling or to act as a support.

21. The Blood Knot This little gem of a knot is used on fishing line to secure two lines together (mends a broken line or attaches leaders and tippets).

22. The Man Harness This crafty knot allows to put a loop in a line anywhere along the length of a rope when neither end of the line is free to tie a loop— but a man harness is great for cheating at tug of war.

23. The Carrick Bend This square knot alternate joins two ropes together securely, and is easier to untie than a square knot.

24. The Trucker’s Hitch The unique feature of the trucker’s hitch is it gives you a unique mechanical advantage for tightening up a line. While tying this hitch is a little complex, it’s worth the trouble if you need to tighten lines as much as possible before securing them

25. The Barrel Hitch The barrel hitch has been used in sailing and construction work for centuries. It allows you to secure a bucket, barrel or other cylindrical object to lift it in a well-balanced position.

26. The Sheepshank This knot seems half magic trick, half practical knot, but it shortens a line without cutting the line. This knot keeps our long ropes in one piece, despite our miscalculations in the field.

27. The Tripod Lashing The tripod lashing is commonly used for shelters and to support camp items, like a cooking pot over a fire.

28. The Square Lashing The square lashing has been used to build everything from camp chairs to towers and bridges – but you can also use it to secure two poles together.

29. The Cleat Hitch The cleat hitch is a very fast method of securing a boat line to a dock cleat. It’s also useful for holding gear to a truck bed cleat. It can be used whenever a line is tied to a cleat-type anchor.
