Knots

One just never knows when he or she will need to tie a strong stable knot for someone or in an emergency situation, or maybe even out fishing.
When Homeschooling my children we got a video on making knots, especially for boating and each child had to try each knot out.

I felt that it can be considered a skill, so I added it to the Skills Menu. Below is some information of the subject. Enjoy!

The knots covered in this video are:

Square Knot (Reef Knot)
Clove Hitch (Builder’s Hitch, Tied in a bight, and at an end)
Sheet Bend (And Double Sheet Bend)
Bowline (Tied two ways)
Figure 8 loop (Tied 3 ways)
Round Turn + Two 1/2 Hitches
Taut-Line Hitch

The Prepared’s survival expert Jessie Krebs shows how to use Bowlines and Halter Hitches (2 of our top 3 survival knots) with a Truckers Hitch to make a tarp shelter between two trees.

Dirt Farmer Jay shares tips and “top secret” tie-down techniques sure to diminish the frustration you may experience when attempting to securely tie down a load AND be able to easily un-tie it when you are ready to unload.

Knowing how to tie a few simple knots will make outdoor life easier. In this video, Miranda shows you how to tie her five favorite knots—the Bowline, The Clove Hitch, the Girth Hitch, the Trucker’s Hitch and the Prusik Hitch. Check out the video, then grab a rope and start tying knots!
