Ashley's Stopper Knot or Oysterman's Stopper or ABOK # 526 Tying a "stopper knot" at the end of the rope can help prevent the end from slipping through the knot due to a heavy load or a series of jerks on the rope. To tie this knot, first tie a Slip Knot (picture 1), then bring the end of the rope back through the loop (pictures 2 and 3). If you follow the pictures then you should end up with a nice, bulky knot (picture 4). PDFmyURL.com -1 -2 -3 -4 According to Budworth, "Clifford W.

  • The Reef Knot Family (Reef, Thief, Granny & Grief)
    7/17/2010 The Reef Knot Family (Reef, Thief, Gra… HOME The Reef Knot Family Bowline Knot Diagram Waterproof Plastic Cards Show All Best Knots - Fishing & Rope Knots. The reef knot or square knot is notably dangerous if misused. The square knot or reef knot www. k n o tca rd s . co m should only be used as a binding knot where it lies tightly against the surface of that which it binds and cannot move. Unfortunately, it is wrongly used as a bend where it has killed many. Used as a bend, joining two ropes, it can unexpectedly spill. What's worse is that it often times holds firm so as to give people a false sense of security, thus setting the stage for tragedy when it shows its true unstable nature. Even minute differences in rope size, texture, or stiffness in what most would consider "normal" rope, will greatly amplify the insecurity of a reef knot used as a bend. It's also very vulnerable to spill when being pulled around corners or over rough terrain, especially if a free end gets snagged. If you know how to tie your shoes, you probably use a "slipped" form of the square knot or the granny knot. The reef knot is handy as a binding knot and can often be undone by firmly jerking in opposite directions the free end and standing part of one of the "U" shapes that interlock to make this knot. A surgeon's knot or ligature knot is just a square knot with a double tuck on the first half of the knot instead of a single tuck.

  • 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.

  • Troop 396 Knot Book 11/1/02
    Troop 396 Knot Book 11/1/02 This book may seem a little unnecessary to many people. With all of the great books about knots already on the shelves, why would anyone want to make their own? There are three reasons. First, there is a lot of incorrect and vague information out there, some of which is even found in official Boy Scout publications. Since a knot is, to coin a phrase, either exactly right or hopelessly wrong, there is no room for ambiguity At times human life may literally hang in the balance, relying only on the strength of a rope and the precision of some basic knots as a safeguard against arriving at the bottom of a cliff too quickly and in a pulpy red heap. Second, these graphics were developed as teaching aids for Cub Scouts, boys with small hands and fleeting attention. It seemed reasonable that the task would be easier with drawings that were very clear and very large. In fact the guiding principle behind this book was that the pictures be large enough to lay on a table with the knot tied right on top; sort of like tracing a drawing. In practice that has dubious value. It works well for some boys, not at all for others. When one ties on top of a picture, one cannot see the picture, at least not very well. The lines in the graphics are 3/8” wide and we used 1/4” rope, so it wasn’t as bad as it may seem. Still it was easier for some boys to tie “in the hand” anyway.

Step 1: Learn overhand, square, and slip knots 1. Gather the girls up and explain “Today we are going to learn about different types of knots. What do you think we use knots for?” a. Knots can be used to tie things together, to stop rope from going through holes, to wrap rope around poles, etc. b. You use knots in activities like: sailing, climbing, caving, fishing, firefighting, truck driving and surgery. 2. “Awesome!

  • 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.
