Making a knot should not be so difficult as the easiest knot effective for whatever tying job there is. Two knots can be different in which the rope is continuously pulled or loosened and stretched. Then, there is the importanceof untying the knotwhena heavy carry is wrapped around on. Practice the variance of knots between what is right and what is wrong, especially in what

Alpine Butterfly – It is very easy to tie quickly and done so to raise and lower cargo. They can also fasten a curve in the foothold along a long rope. It is nicknamed, “The Lineman’s Rope.”

Bowline – The “King of Knots” is as basic as a knot could get in terms of tying and untying, plus its sturdiness to not slip loose, especially when more cargo is placed along the knot.

Figure 8 Loop – It’s a climber’s knot as it secures their line when going up a mountain. It can only take them and not their backpacks, but it is a knot that depends on your survival.

Trucker’s Hitch – It holds down the cargo flat to the bed of a truck and can be a lift. Downside is that it is only effective when pressured and it can break if the same spot on the rope is repeatedly used.

Zeppelin Bend – Besides the name of the knot (like Led Zeppelin), it is a knot for the heavyweights and is stable with artificial roping. They are two knots that are done overhand and locked together.
