17th Petaling Boxing Kangaroo

Heys! :D Your junior IT here.
We won't have much scout meetings now ): Exams, EXAMS!
So, :D time for some knotting!
The reef knot; The Square, or Reef, Knot joins equal sized ropes. Never use it for human or other critical loads - it may spill into two half hitches and then slip. It is frequently tied wrongly as a "Granny Knot."

Sheetbend;
The Sheet Bend joins two ropes of unequal size but also works well if the ropes are of the same size. It has to be tied with both ends loose in your hands with no load on the ropes.
Bowline:The Bowline makes a secure loop in the end of a piece of rope. It can be used to secure a mooring line to a ring or post on a dock. When there is no strain it can easily be undone.

Clove Hitch; The Clove Hitch, two turns stacked on each other, is widely known. primarily because it so easy to tie. It can be used to attach a rope but must be used with caution because it can jam or slip.
Round Turn and Two Half Hitches;An excellent knot for securing a rope to a post or ring. The initial turns take the load, e.g., of a mooring line during docking. While one hand holds the strain, the knot is then tied with the other.


Till next time :D Bye!
