I already have a few knots I use for fishing I know by heart and they come in handy for other things. I just need to find some info on a knot/knots to use for tying things down in say a truck bed. I already have a method that works great, but remember my grandfather teaching me a knot when I was young (forgotten now) where you tie your load down and when you sinch down the rope it tightens everything down.

I didn't know that one. :tu: I have usually used a sailor's hitch. (They obviously have different characteristics, but some of the problems they solve are the same.)
my favorite is

Spelunking where people push themselves through narrow openings with real danger of getting stuck is smurfing scary. :dwts:
(And exposed to heights, I feel "the attraction of the void", so I'm really not the adrenaline junkie kind of guy. :) )
Well there are also really deep pitches. 1431m is the deepest we have.

Does the rope look OK after prolonged storage, or do you have to stretch it?

I downloaded a small app on my phone called "Useful Knots"
It contains subsections on Loops, Hitches, Bends, Lashings, Bindings, Friction knots. running loops, stopper knots, rope care knots and other, like the kamikaze knot for rope retrieval, or the handcuff knot for use insadosmurfochism:facepalm: whenever you need tying someone up... :think:
It's quite good, but practice makes perfect
Hmm, I don't really have a favourite knot but I must say that the larks head is a really useful knot considering how easy it is. Among the uses I've found it to be perfect for keeping extensions cords organised when not in use.Boy did they do some special stuff over there with the scouts! :dwts:I downloaded a small app on my phone called "Useful Knots"

I wonder if that handcuff knot is the same I learned in the scouts...
These lists would be more useful if grouped by type/purpose/application and also :worthless:

Which scout organization? You have several in Sweden.
Also I'm assuming Boys 'n Girls allowed. :ahhh
I want to learn a few knots a week.
Wow... I would have liked the swedish scouts. :rofl:Suddenly Irish scouts were rather boring...Hmm, I don't really have a favourite knot but I must say that the larks head is a really useful knot considering how easy it is.

My troop was with the main Swedish Scouting organisation, or at least it is now, it was many years since I left. Too many in fact fro there to have been any problems with the mixed gender part tbh although I hear rumours that they tent to hand out condoms at larger camps.
It should be noted that the hand cuff knot in question is very simple and might possibly have been found by accident.

I think I made it slightly wrong here, the two ends should probably not both come out from the middle loop like that but oh well. (in fact Wikipedia shows it being tied with the two ends crossing each other, I guess to lock the lines better).

It's been 9 months what have you learned since December?
You caught me leading with my chin.I want to learn a few knots a week.
