Fisherman's Knot
- The Water Knot is used to tie two ropes of equal
thickness together. It is used by fishermen to join fishing
line, and is very effective with small diameter strings and
twines. It is also the most common knot used to join webbing
in climbing and rappelling
- Tie a
Thumb Knot, in the running end of the first rope around
the second rope. Then tie a thumb knot in the second rope,
around the first rope. Note the Thumb knots are tied such
they lie against each other when the standing ends are
pulled.
