Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Guest #196 March 11, 2004 QuoteAs 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? Yes it is thread drift. I learned every one of those (and had to demonstrate them in a practical to graduate the mountaneering course I was in), but it's been a while.
