  • Two Color Spiral Sennit Tutorial
    Four Strand Helical Sennit Grips Rails Applied Friction In Cordage Art Cord. Mankind's earliest technology, after teeth and fingernails. Cord normally requires a knot, some clever kink, to hold it to its task. Typically, knots must be untied to remove the rope. As you know, I always start with "For What Do I Need A Knot?" and then tie a knot to meet that need. Here's a way to make a cordage structure which will grip many objects strongly enough to hold small things like key rings or other personal items, yet still be easily removed & replaced. Suppose you just want to carry spare cord, and have lots of bare tubing on your Expedition Backpack? This puts significant amounts of cordage into compact packages which hold themselves in place until you need them, when you just "grab and pull" to remove for untying. It's made to come off easily, so don't use it on a handle! You can cover those parts with Hitches in the usual way. Suppose you ride a bicycle & want to keep your pants leg out of the chain, or keep small personal items easily accessible. Pepper spray, perhaps, or a snack container, or whatever you like, but you want it secure-yet-easy-to-remove? You could tie a knot, untie it, and retie it every single time you need it. Yeah, right. Suppose you're getting along in years & need to use a walker, or a cart for your Oxygen, or something similar, and you need to keep your door/car keys handy, but you may not have pockets “at hand”.

Restore by holding down the CTRL key and pressing 0. The Home Page describes some knotting terminology, and it explains a number of factors which affect the security of the knots that you tie. Always keep in mind that there are risks associated with ropes and knots, and the risks are entirely your own. Site Map Home Knots Index Single-Loop Knots Multi-Loop Knots Hitches Bends (this page) Miscellaneous Knots Decorative Knots Bends (and other ways of tying ropes together) When two ends of rope (from the same rope or from different ropes) are tied together with a single knot, the knot is referred to as a "bend." If you don't tie knots in rope very often then it might be difficult to remember which knot to use, and how to tie it properly, when you need to tie two ends of rope together securely. Therefore, it's a good idea to learn one or two good bends which you can remember easily, and my preferences are the Fisherman's Knot and the Alpine Butterfly Bend, although I'm trying out the Double Harness Bend more and more lately (which can easily be turned into a Reever Knot ). Practice tying your favorite knots periodically (from different angles) so that you'll remember how to tie them when you need them. Here are some bends: PDFmyURL.com 1.

  • Rescue Knot Efficiency Revisited
    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. Senior Instructor: California State Fire Training • Confined Space Technician 2. Instructor: California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) • Search Management and Winter Search Management 3. Instructor: US Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) 4. Member: Montrose (CA) Search and Rescue Team, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department 5. 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.

  • Knotmaster Program
    Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program Congratulations on embarking on the Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program! The purpose of the Knotmaster Program is to encourage participants to learn to tie a full range of useful and practical knots. By the time you complete the Black level you will have mastered and have at your disposal at least 37 new knots! Goals Of The Knotmaster Program Provide a process and environment to learn knot skills for rank advancement, merit badges and everyday practical situations. Provide opportunities for one-on-one teaching using the E.D.G.E. method. Continually test knotting skills so they are reinforced and improved. Provide opportunities for mastery and advancement with increasingly challenging knot levels. Recognize self-directed effort and achievement and encourage participation. Program Overview Knots are grouped into increasingly challenging levels comprised of 9 knots each. Once a level is completed the participant receives a colored cord to wear on his Knotmaster Carabiner. These colored cords serve to recognize the participant’s achievement, and to identify him as a learning resource for other participants. Upon starting the program the participant receives a basic introduction, along with a practice rope, progress card and knot sheet. The participant may learn knots in any order, and may learn knots from any level at any time. However, he must advance through the levels sequentially. Progress will be tracked on the Knotmaster Progress Card. Participants in the program are known as Knotters. Those who advance to the Black Level are Knotmasters. Troop 1776 - Knotmaster Knot Signoff When a Knotter feels he has mastered a knot sufficiently to be signed off, he can approach any Knotter or Knotmaster who is at least one level higher and ask to be signed off.

  • Knot-Tying Skill Activities | Troop Program Resources
    Troop Program Resources KNOT-TYING SKILL ACTIVITIES These challenges provide Scouts with an opportunity to put a variety of knot-tying skills into action. In accordance with their level of skill, patrols can stay intact while doing these activities. Pitting one patrol against another in a competition can also be lots of fun. If patrols are organized by age, dividing the troop into equally-skilled Scout teams can be a practical alternative. “wide” = large indoor or outdoor setting for those activities requiring a greater amount of space “small” = small area for those activities that do not require as much space, or can be carried out in close quarters, or with a smaller number of Scouts “in” = indoor activity “out” = outdoor activity 50-FOOT RESCUE RELAY (wide, in or out) View Video – Materials: a cardboard square and one 50-foot rope for each patrol – Method: Patrols line up in relay formation. One Scout from each patrol sits on the square of cardboard about 35 feet in front of his patrol. On signal each patrol prepares their rope for an accurate distance throw. One member casts the line to their Scout who must grab the rope while remaining on the cardboard. Once he has the rope, he ties a bowline around his waist, grabs the cardboard with both hands and remains on the cardboard as the rest of his patrol pulls him ashore. – Scoring: Patrols score points according to how effectively they can rescue their patrol mate(s). – Variation: Patrol members take turns coiling and throwing the rope and riding the cardboard.

  • Knotting Techniques
    20 Knotting Techniques Once you learn the basic knots, macrame is a matter of adjusting and keeping even tension in the cords you're working with to make your efforts look professional The best way to accomplish this is to practice; you can do so easily and inexpensively using string or dental floss. One basic rule is to keep your holding or core cords taut while tying and wrapping working cords around them. Pin^ tape, or clip holding cords as you work, and your knots will be even and consistent. Macrame Terminology The word cord refers to the string or fiber used to tie the knots for macrame. Various cords provide different functions for macrame design. Here is a description of each type and how it can be used to create a distinctive work of art. 1 . KNOTTINC OR WORKING CORDS. These are wrapped, looped, and tied. The knots are tied with these. 2. CORE OR FILLER CORDS. Foundation cords., around which the working cords are tied. This type of cord often runs vertically throughout the design. HOLDING CORDS. These are similar to core cords, as in having a knot-hearing function, but they often run back and forth horizontally or diagonally through a design. They also may be used as foundations to which core and working cords are tied; foundation cords are always hori- zontal. A ring or purse handle may also serve the same function as a foundation cord. > SENNIT CHAIN. This configuration of vertical knots repeats to form a pattern. 21 Overhand Knot This is a very simple knot—the same kind used to tie your shoe.
