Anyone know this knot pattern?? Found it on a water bottle at Walmart lol, looked cheap af but I wanted to make one for mine. T.I.A! 🙏🏽

I'm constructing cat posts and using sisal wrapped elements. Tandem tied clove hitches would be more secure and wouldn't unravel as easily as the usual just wound up ones do, but its a constrictor knot. Can anyone see a potential for injury if a cat gets a knot loose and maybe pulls the end and tugs the knot tight again? The extra effort would be worth it as some of the sisal wrapped elements are irregular shapes (like skis). Thanks for input.

A large cable needs pulling into a duct hole, and I’ve seen this done where it’s ’half hitched’ (I think that’s the term).

It needs to be non-slip and tighten onto the cable as it’s pulled as it needs quite a lot of force.

Anyone tell me what knot is needed and any practical guide/tips?

Thank you.

I was thinking there could be some kind of tie or knot I could use to secure the cork. Any ideas would be appreciated!

i did this sheet bend a time ago, like 3 days ago, and after some use it is very short comparated to when i tied it. is it secure? (it's a hammock)

It's two chords coming out of the bag attached to one fastening device, like an upside down U. I work in housekeeping and have to do this 50+ times a day

Can someone help me identify what the blue knot is? The usage case is a guyline (blue) tied to a shock cord (black).

Thanks in advance!

Hello friends! I am new to knot tying and enjoying learning more. It’s such a practical skill.

Question (Might be a dumb one): If you had a tarp or a cover to go over something like a bbq or a quad bike to protect it from the elements, how would you go about tying rope around the cover to keep it secure and from blowing away in the wind? What kind of knot would you use?

I'm hoping to keep the binding as flat as possible using the thin brown leather cord

Trying to re-tie this bracelet and I’m not sure how to recreate this knot. Thanks!

Hello, I am using the double Fisherman's Knot to hang my portable VHF around my shoulder. I like that it is adjustable but I noticed that it is binding up quickly and often without me being able to undo it. Is there a different knot which for my application which doesn't bind up?

Thank you very much in advance!

What hobby taught me this knot set?

Anybody know what knot this is and how ti tie it? It looks simple but every time I tried it doesn’t come out right (need both leather straps to lay flat against each other). I unzipped my wallet and it just came apart somehow

A harp trap looks like this. The idea is that you put it somewhere where bats fly through and they hit the thin strings and (safely) fall in so you can study them.

Hopefully I'm using terms correctly here.

I want to know what knot would be best for securing the poles on either side of a harp trap to nearby trees and rocks.

Usually we take some plastic twine, loop it around one of the metal poles in a round turn, loop it around a nearby tree in another round turn, and then tie the ends of the twine together to keep it taut.

I'm looking for a bend? knot with the following properties:

- Ties two ends together

- Easy to tighten and possibly adjust

- Reasonably secure and keeps the twine taut

- Easy to undo later (we only keep the trap up for a few hours at a time, and the plastic twine is kind of rough so the wrong type of knot is a huge pain in the ass to undo.)

Any suggestions?

I have the typical ruptured shoelace: the black outer part is ripped in the middle (the central, white strong part is still in tact), in the region outside the holes for binding (the "tying space" if you will). now, this is not a big problem, but it makes the ties very slippery, unstable, and sometimes the hull bulks up and causes problems. i was wondering, whether i could tie the hull back together to prevent it from bulking or slipping through the first hole. i was considering smth like:

• using an external rope for
• an icicle hitch at the lower part (since the load when tying is pulling away from that to the other side of the rupture)

-some hitch to tie it firmly to the second hull part, the one nearer to the lace's end

what would you recommend, esp for the secon hitch? is there something very easy i could do alternatively, except buying new laces?

On my military boots I currently have a little plastic piece that can be freely adjusted but holds its place when I'm done adjusting. I find this very convenient, and it got me wondering if this could be achieved without using the plastic piece as well. So, are there knots that can be adjusted by hand but stays fixed otherwise? I tried googling but it just shows me fisherman's knot and everyone saying they don't work.

i made this tutorial. what do you think? is there any improve i can make? is that a good knot?

Does this exist? I've searched around and found someone asked the question here 9 years ago but didn't get an acceptable answer. Most loop knots I know (taut line, buntline, scaffold) contract the loop while pulling on the standing end. Maybe there's something like a reverse taut line?

The closest thing I've come up with is an overhand slip knot because it does contract the loop while pulling the working end. However, I'd prefer the knot to be more stable and hold under load, which the slip knot does not.

And I apologize in advance if I messed up the vocabulary and used knot and loop in place of hitch and vice versa.

Apologies for the terrible screenshot. But this popped up in FB and I didn’t recognize this type of knot or the type of rope. Is this for climbing? Or just a safety kind of rig? Thanks.
