Knots

[sarasota]

Last week I had to tie the trunk of the car down and wasn't all that successful. What are three knots a person should know to help them through life? I assume a slip-knot is one of them...?

Could you also tell me what particular situation(s) each knot would be good for.

Some of the ladies who are expert in rope bondage should be able to assist here!

This should help. Usually I do a lot a tying for fishing hooks and the often boat ... the best way to learn is when someone teaches you and you see it in front of your eyes otherwise I guess that this is the next best step.

Trucker's Hitch - Tie things down (many ways)

Bowline - Makes a none slipping loop that cab be easily untied, no matter how tight (million uses)

square knot - joining two peices of rope togather

wreath knot- stitches (easy to do)

sheep shank - allows you to shorten a rope without cutting it.

the bowline is absolutely the most useful knot, followed by the sheet bend
