Now I can move heavy things.

I never knew about putting sticks in the knot. Clever. Always something new to learn here!

 

Yes, my favorite resource.

 

Good info. I've used their "truckers hitch" for over 3 decades. I like using rope for binding loads much better than ratchet straps. Their "surgeon's loop" is the closest to the knot I use in the photo... although they send the loop thru twice instead of once. Have no idea why.

 

I was looking to learn some more knots for some things last summer , anyway I installed a couple apps on my phone .
If ya have CRS like me you can review a knot or find one for the job , right on the job .
Both very good apps, but I like Knots 3D, bestist, http://nynix.com/knots-3d/

For some people the hardest knot they ever take time to learn is tying their shoes. It's complicated and I prefer a square knot anyways. Who needs big rabbit ears

 

Takes a little getting used to, but this is my go to boot knot now:

Bowline...

 

I tie my shoes the regular way. Just use a square knot on boots. If you've ever gotten a shoelace bow caught on a bolt 40' up a pole it's .

 

My boots are always square knot...ty em' once a day...
