Ropes• Every kind of rope has pros and cons
• It is important to select the right rope for the task
• Not every knot work well in every type of rope
Nylon wovon sheath rope:
-broadly used but expensive
Nylon braid rope:
-cheaper-works well-can be slippery
Cotton rope:
-easily affordable-it retains water and become heavy or can freeze

Bowline Knot-verstaile -easy to untie -to anchor the rope
to almost any object
Nadine Ross; Studentnumber 201544608 Course HKR 3220
1 Form an eye in the rope (standing part runs underneath)
2 Free end runs up trough the eye
3 Take a turn around the standing part
4 Feed the free end back down through the eye and hold
5 Pull the standing part to tighten the knot

Square (Reef) Knot-used to join two ends of a rope togehter, resulting in a longer length -works best with ropes of equal size -must be tied correctly or it will be difficult to undo or it will fail by slipping

1 Create a loop and pinch with fingers
2 Take the other rope and bring it up trough the loop arround the rope where you‘re pinching it

Guidline (Taut-Line) Hitch-used to form an adjustable loop -favourite among campers because it can adjust the tension, slipping to tighten or loosen a line, and then holds fast under load.-excellent for tarp and tent construstion
Nadine Ross; Studentnumber 201544608 Course HKR 3220
-Create the loops around the standing end of the rope, going back toward the tension (e. g. The tree)
-When tying the knot off, make sure you go in the opposite direction than the wraps around the standing end

Clove Hitch-all-purpose hitch – easy to tie and untie-good for creating buttons (secure holds on flapping tarps) when building shelters
Nadine Ross; Studentnumber 201544608 Course HKR 3220
-first two initial loops by crossing right over left
-the left loop should cross over the loop on the right, creating an X
