Chapter 10
Being able to tie a good knot is so often useful in survival situations. They can help us better secure a shelter, keep things off the ground, cross rivers, and even create make-shift clotheslines.
In this chapter, we’ll learn the most common knots from the bowline knot to the double half hitch and the weaver’s knot (or double sheet bend).
The bowline knot is one of the most versatile – a fixed knot that will prevent slipping.
You can tie it with one hand, making it convenient in some survival situations. It’s handy for tying things up when you want them to hang. It could be useful for making shelters or keeping bags of food off the ground, too.
The double half hitch knot is an adjustable knot that you use in conjunction with a standing support, for example, a pole or a tree. It is easy to tie and secure as long as there is tension.
This knot is for when you have short lengths of rope, and you need something longer. Unlike some other knots, it’s also easy to undo, making it more reusable and allowing you versatility in the wild.
