Quickly untie two ropes. This knot is most often used when starting and ending lashings, but it can be used in other circumstances as I described. Loop: A loop is where a the rope completes a degree turn. I have included pictures of each of the steps for each knot, along with what the finished knot looks like. You could use the Surgeon Knot to tie any two pieces of rope that are under tension, or whenever you would use a Square Knot, but want to make sure the knot will not come untied. Rolling Hitch. You can adjust the Knots Step by Step in the bait by simply pulling on the lead hook, which in turn brings the tail hook closer to the head and renders a greater bend in the bait for more spin.

Hold onto to loop and the working end, then pull tight to finish the knot. The Figure Eight Knot is a stopper knot; it is used to keep a rope from pulling out of a threaded hole, such as a hoodie draw string. Load can be safely applied: from the loop to either end of the rope; between the two ends with the loop hanging free; or to the loop with the load spread between the two ends. .

The DOUBLED hitch, tied by ,:,;,: taking a second exactly parallel turn with a longer end, is an IMPROVE- MENT and a good absorbant for a shock load such as a fall on the safety line. See description and Fig. 37. With or without a carabiner. the DOUBLED tie can also serve as a “STOPPER” in the end of a line that might escape-for instance, a low- ering line, al. ascending line, a rappel line, etc. It is even more efficient if a ring or washer is placed ahead of it. FRONT COVER ADJUSTABLE BOWLINE STIRRUP: This is the Standard Bowline tied with two ends leaving a bighted end for suitable hitch attachments such as the Prusik, Ring, Catspaw, etc. Length can be varied to suit the climber’s height, the loops adjusted singly or together, and when advis- able, the dangling ends may be square-knotted around the ankle to hold the foot well into the stirrup.

Volunteer Job Performance Requirements
VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER JOB PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS TASK BOOK TRAVIS COUNTY ESD 1 18300 PARK DR. JONESTOWN, TX. 78645 (512)267-3568 VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER NAME:_______________________________ It is important for you to understand that just because your department head or evaluator signs off on the skills sheets does not mean that it is an automatic approval or assignment to a position. This Job Performance Requirement Task Books (Task Book) have been developed for various candidate levels within Travis County ESD 1. The Task Book lists the job performance requirements (JPRs) for the specific task in a format that allows a candidate to be trained and evaluated. Successful performance of all tasks, as observed and recorded by a qualified and approved evaluator, will result in the candidate's eligibility for operating in various positions within their scope of practice. To complete the performance evaluation period, the candidate must successfully complete the job performance requirements in sequence. Before a job performance evaluation can be taken, all requisite knowledge and skills must be satisfied. In addition, all relative task book evaluations must be checked off by a trained evaluator. It is the responsibility of the candidate to see that the task book is completed during an acceptable time frame. These JPRs serve as general guidelines. As such they are not intended to replace specific sequences of apparatus or equipment operation that may be outlined by manufacturer specifications. At all times, standard operating procedures will govern. The department, should have available for evaluators, a copy of manufacturer specifications and the department’s standard operational guidelines. The JPRs covered in this Task Book meet or exceed all NFPA published standards for this certification level at the time of this publication.

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.

Climbing Fences,, Ropes, Knots and Rope Making
CLIMBING FENCES, ROPES, KNOTS AND ROPE MAKING TECHNIQUES Stolen from UK Indymedia - www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/07/346369.html?c=on#c152797 Many activists get arrested cutting through military fences and so get the extra charge of 'malicious mischief'. Using a ladder to climb fences is impracticable as you tend to get intercepted and charged for approaching a base with a ladder. You can buy 'telescopic-ladders' but they are very expensi ve so here is the cheapo solution. You can buy metal key -ring clips with chains for about a £1.50 from cornershops and newsagents. You can then clip the chains to fences to allow use as foothold and handholds. If the keyring clip is less than 7mm in diameter at it's thinnest - and most of them are - you can clip onto even the thin fences that they use at places like Faslane. Bolting a piece of flat wood to the chain means the foothold stands proud of the fence and makes it is easier and quicker for severa l people to use in the dark. These are pocket -sized / foot -sized so are easily concealed and only four are required to help the least fit activists easily climb an 8m fence, and are also cheap enough to be disposable in a rush. If you are very careful attaching it to the fence then you don't even set off the high-tech vibration sensors that military fences often utlise, at least until you start climbing. Make sure the wood you use is strong enough to take your bodyweight after drilling - also - test them once you've built them.

1 “KNOTTING MATTERS” THE QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER OF THE Hon. Sec. & Editor INTERNATIONAL GUILD OF KNOT TYERS Geoffrey BUDWORTH, President: Eric Franklin 45, Stambourne Way, Upper Norwood, Issue No. 16 London SE19 2PY, July (Summer) 1986 England. 01-653 8757 (home) 01-760 0759 (office) - - - oOo - - - Editorial If you spend time alone in a school, college or office, out of hours you quickly realise it has ceased to be any sort of workplace. Without what goes on there between people it is only empty rooms, abandoned equipment. So, too, our Guild is nothing - just an odd notion in the minds of individuals - except when we interact together at gatherings or through the link of this newsletter. Only then does it really live, grow, evolve. That’s why the “Knotting Extravaganza” has proved such an inspiration. This editorial is being cobbled together nearly two months before the great day but will not be read until a month or so after it is done and gone. No matter. What happens/happened then is important, of course, but of far greater value - it can be said even now - is what has already occurred preparing and planning for it. Working at our knotting assignments many of us have picked up new skills, more know-how; and in some instances increased confidence and a quiet authority have resulted from mastering some knotwork previously thought beyond our humble fumblings. Such gains last. Minds stretched by new ideas never go back to their old dimensions. The letters, phone calls and actual get-togethers generated by the giant project have all brought us closer, while the search for sponsors and publicity has reinforced and spread our reputation afield.
