billvon 3,073 #132 March 11, 2004 >This is going to sounds like a weird question, but what kind of knots do you use? Double or triple bowline; it spreads out the load over all 2-3 loops and won't tighten under load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #136 March 11, 2004 ah piss off. last time I was in a ropes course, none of the instructors could get a wet knot to stick, so I suggested letting me have a go at it. I made a square knot, and they had your reaciton. You know what?

billvon 3,073 #139 March 11, 2004 As far as I can tell you really only need to know about ten knots to deal with all sorts of situations. Bowline (double or triple) - good for a rope around a fixed point. Figure-8 - for a strong termination at an anchor. Overhand loop - quicker than a figure-8, not as strong. Overhand bend - to join two pieces of webbing. Fishermen's knot and sheet bend - to join two ropes. Prusik - to ascend ropes in an emergency. Munter hitch - to descend ropes in an emergency. Lark's head - to very quickly terminate a line (useful in rigging.) Clove hitch - for adjustable anchors in ropes. Square knot - not really that useful but it's the only one most people know. The question is - is this really thread drift or not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went through the boyscouts and my grandpa was a nautical man, so I know what you're saying and agree wholeheartedly.

Deuce 1 #145 March 11, 2004 I'm impressed Bill. But most of my experience is in restraining the unwilling. Pain compliance to a figure 4 leg lock. Application of both handcuffs and legirons. I also used the zip strip velcro leg restraint, and I guess that would leave less bruising. If I ever had to chase them down and subdue them, I got those skills. But mostly, as a Camera Flier, I have to beat them to arm's length. Us Camera Fliers, Like me and Quade, are just that cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds like it might not be that much fun for the other person - as an aquaintance of mine once said, once you find someone willing to let you that that stuff to em, you don't want to piss them off.

My favorite rope is a red one.. belts work too and no knots to worry about .. can actually be buckled nice and tight around the wrists. The ropes work better for the ankles though what with tying to the bedposts and all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
