The Common Whipping is a knot tied at the end of a rope to keep the end from unraveling. The benefit of the Common Whipping knot is that it is quite easy to tie and no tools are required. However, the knot is more appropriate for temporary use or on decorative ropes as it is known to slip off the rope easily. It is best used on a natural fiber rope and tied with natural twine, both of which afford the maximum friction for the knot to hold its position at the end of the rope. When dealing with synthetic ropes, it is best to wrap with tape and then heat the ends to melting point to fuse the strands. Also see: French Whipping. Scroll to see Animated Common Whipping Knot below the illustration and tying instructions. 151 Common Whipping Knot Tying Instructions Lay the twine along the rope and make a bight back along the rope. Note that the rope should be whipped a short distance (one and a half times the diameter) from its end. Begin wrapping the twine around the rope and bight of twine securely. Wrap until the whipping is one and a half times wider than the rope is thick. Run the working end of the twine through the bight. Carefully pull on the standing end of the twine until the bight and working end are pulled under the whipping (Note: It is normally necessary to maintain tension on the working end to prevent the bight from being dragged completely through otherwise the whipping will fall apart.) Cut the twine flush with the edges of the whipping to give the rope end a finished look. https://www.101knots.com/common-whipping.html 152 .

Use ---- To temporarily join two ropes, especially if the ropes are of different sizes. 2. Comments ---- The sheet bend is a secure but eas- ily untied knot. ---- When tying the sheet bend the running parts should be left long because there is some initial slip in the knot when the knot is first brought under tension. ---- The proper and more secure way to tie the sheet bend is so that the two end the rope are on the same side of the knot.

  • Knot Symbolism
    Witch's Knot Posted by Silver Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 5:28 PM http://nordicwiccan.blogspot.nl/2014/01/witchs-knot.html There are many different types of magic knots, all of which have their own uses and their own history. In Pagan Roman times, couples would tie a knot while make solemn vows to each other and their gods during their wedding ceremony, which is where we get the phrase 'tying the knot'. The Witch's Knot, also known as the Witch's Charm or Magic Knot, is comprised of four interlocking vesica piscis-shapes. The knot can also be found with a central circle. The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla (almond in Italian). The pointed oval sign, the vesica piscis, has also been called the Vessel of the Fish. "Fish" and "womb" were synonymous terms in ancient Greek delphos. Its link to fertility, birth, feminine sexuality and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. The Great Goddess was portrayed elsewhere with pendulous breasts, accentuated buttocks and a conspicuous vaginal orifice, the upright vesica piscis. Christians later adapted the symbol as their own for Ichthys, fish. A circle is a simple shape of geometry that is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.

  • The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Part One: a Bowline and Two Hitches
    http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/scrapboardknots.pdf Version 2.2 The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Apparently there are over 2,000 different knots recorded, which is obviously too many for most people to learn. What these pages will attempt to do is teach you seven major knots that should meet most of your needs. These knots are what I like to think of as “gateway knots” in that once you understand them you will also be familiar with a number of variations that will increase your options. Nine times out of ten you will find yourself using one of these knots or a variant. The best way to illustrate what I mean is to jump in and start learning some of these knots and their variations. Part One: A Bowline and Two Hitches. Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. A very simple and useful knot with a somewhat unwieldy name! The round turn with two half hitches can be used to attach a cord to post or another rope when the direction and frequency of strain is variable. The name describes exactly what it is. It can be tied when one end is under strain. If the running end passes under the turn when making the first half-hitch it becomes the Fisherman’s Bend (actually a hitch). The fisherman’s bend is used for applications such as attaching hawsers. It is a little stronger and more secure than the round turn and two half-hitches but harder to untie so do not use it unless the application really needs it.

    Rescue Knot Efficiency Revisited By John McKently From the 2014 International Technical Rescue Symposium (ITRS) John McKently has been the Director of the CMC Rescue School since 1995 and is a long time ITRS attendee and presenter. In addition to his teaching duties, his practical rescue experience comes from 40 years as a member of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Montrose Search and Rescue Team. OCCUPATION / AGENCIES 1.

Member: California State Fire Training • Rope Rescue Technician Curriculum Development Working Group • Confined Space Technician Working Group Rescue Knot Efficiency Revisited In 1987 personnel from CMC Rescue performed tests on a variety of knots commonly used in rescue systems to determine their efficiency. The purpose of testing was as preparation for the First Edition of the CMC Rope Rescue Manual and for presentations at various industry events. Prior to this time there had been similar testing on climbing knots, but the rope used was three-strand laid rope (Goldline) and there were no details of the testing conditions or methods used, so the results were not considered repeatable or of unknown value to rescuers using low stretch ropes. Our testing was done at Wellington Puritan, a large rope manufacturer in Georgia, but no details were given about their test machine. There wasn’t any Cordage Institute #1801 standard for test methodology at the time, though the report does state that Federal Test 191A Method 6016 was used.
