On this page, you will find video tutorials on how to tie a variety of knots, as well as a few ropework techniques. overhand knot: basic knot, useful as a stopper knot. Hard to untie. bowline: good for making a loop, or as an anchor point around a bar. Used in climbing to secure rope to a harness. double figure of eight: good for making a loop and more secure than a bowline. Also used in climbing to secure rope to a harness. reef knot: for tying two ropes of same diameter. Not very secure. Used in first aid for bandages. clovehitch: self tightening and easy to undo. Both ends of the rope can then be used. round turn and two half hitches: useful for tying the second end of a rope and putting the rope under tension. fisherman's knot: good for tying two ropes of the same diameter together. double sheet bend: used for tying two ropes of different diameters together. daisy chain: used for shortening a rope. will uncoil very easily by pulling on the free end. monkey's fist: good for creating...

ArmySteve : Paracord Square Weave Braid Rope http://armyadvice.org/blogs/armysteve/articles/9736.aspx I learned how to do this from another LT here in Iraq, who said he learned how to do it in the Boy Scouts. I'd seen a few of them on friends' key chains but they'd been given to them as gifts by folks they knew in the Army, so they didn't know how to do it. I tried to find how to do it on the Internet, but couldn't. Once my buddy showed me how to do it, though, it was pretty simple. To share it with others who may be looking for how to do it, I'm putting together this article. To start, you need two pieces of paracord. In this case, I'm making a pretty long braid, starting with two 4 foot long pieces of 550 cord. Next, you need to gut the rope -- pull out the strings from inside. Now cross one piece over the other. Pull one end of the bottom piece over the top piece. Then pull the other end over the top piece in the opposite direction. Now pull one of the side pieces over, then under,... See less

This page is dedicated to the art of tying knots. Most of them are quite commonly used aboard or related to the sea - fishing and that sort of thing. All the knots are animated and hence move by themselves, showing you how they are constructed. If more information is required on these knots, The Ashley Book of Knots by Clifford Ashley is a great source of information. See less

Rope, and the sports associated with rope, can be dangerous. Wrongly handled, gripped, or tied, rope can kill, maim, or burn. You could be the victim! So, handle rope with care, inspect and test any knot you tie, and respect any rope subject to a heavy load, e.g., a rope controlling a large sail, a mooring rope when you are docking or berthing, and especially your own climbing rope. Never try to control a heavily loaded rope or fishing line with your bare hands. Control rope by taking two or more turns round a winch, cleat, or post, and use appropriate equipment for fishing line. It is unfortunate, but true, that the danger associated with heavily loaded rope or fishing line is commonly learned by experience, which is often very painful and could be lethal. See less

Square (reef) knot. One of the best known knots for tying together two lines of equal diameter. Notice the symmetry--both free ends are on the same side of knot. It's a relatively weak knot--breaking strength is only 45% of rated line strength. It should not be used where lines will be under strong tension, as it has a tendency to slip. For high-tension knots, the sheet bend, surgeon's knot, or fisherman's knot are recommended (see below). | Thief knot. It resembles the square knot (above), but notice that the two free ends are on opposite sides of the knot. This knot slips easily; it should be avoided for kite flying. | Granny knot. Similar to the square knot (above), but notice the different overlap pattern. This knot slips easily; it should be avoided for kite flying. | Sheet bend. An excellent knot for joining two lines of equal or unequal diameter. The knot has moderate strength and is highly resistant to slippage. It is recommended in preference to the square knot. Note both free... See less

All about knots: This website contains descriptions and illustrations on tying over 35 knots, including: bowline knots, half hitch knot, overhand knot, hitch knot and many more! Knots are intertwined loops of rope, cord, string or other flexible material, used to fasten two such ropes to one another or to another object. Knots, Bends, Hitches, Splices and Seizings are all ways of fastening cords or ropes, either to some other object such as a spar, or a ring, or to one another. The knot is formed to make a knob on a rope, generally at the extremity, and by untwisting the strands at the end and weaving them together. But it may be made by turning the rope on itself through a loop, as for instance, the overhand knot.. A bend and a hitch are ways of fastening or tying ropes together, as in the Carrick bend or round spars as the Studding Sail Halyard Bend and the Timber Hitch. A splice is made by untwisting two rope ends and weaving them together. A seizing is made by fastening two spars... See less

This selection of rope knots for outdoor use includes a range of basic, work-a-day utility knots. Although there are litterally thousands of different knots, the knots illustrated on this page include the best knots from the three primary knot catagories: Loop Knots, Bends (rope to rope knots) and Hitches (rope to object knots). Bear in mind that it is far more important to learn a few knots well than to half-learn a whole bunch of knots! See less

There are many people who can be considered experts in knots. In this series of articles I have mainly quoted from two recognized authorities on knots: * Clifford Ashley, whose book, The Ashley Book of Knots, contains 3,900 different knots and 7,000 illustrations, and has been called the definitive reference work on knots and "the knot enthusiasts' bible." * Geoffrey Budworth, who is one of the co-founders of the International Guild of Knot Tyers (see the link below) and who was responsible for updating and revising The Ashley Book of Knots by Clifford Ashley. Here are several websites which provide a lot of information on knots. Every link will open up in a new window to give you more control as you browse around in this website: * The A-Z of Knots * Animated Knots * Fifty Basic Knots * International Guild of Knot Tyers * Knots on the Web * Ropers Knots Page * Six Exploding Knots If you have any questions about knots, I would recommend that you visit the online forum of the...

file - 550 cord, do it yourself A while ago, I made some infantry bracelets (also known as infantry bracelets or 550 cord bracelets) and posted instructions on making them in this old entry. Well, file this one under "more things to do with parachute cord". Or maybe under "things to do when you're really bored." If you're using a military file system, it should go under, "random sh** to do on CQ." This is a little key chain I made up yesterday evening after getting back from MCB Quantico where Trueman and I did our commissary shopping and spent part of the afternoon running amok on the training lanes with Abby. The dogger loved it. She was running around like a mad dog, hurtling over barbed wire obstacles (yikes!) and plunging herself into the deepest mud she could find. Thankfully, the Marines keep pretty filthy training areas, and I was able to pick up a whole handful of grenade pull rings, which are great for all sorts of things ... such as key chains like this one. I had the little... See less
