Real Knots - Pole Shift Survival Information

Roper's Knot Pages - Hitches - Constrictor knot
The Double Constrictor tied in the bight.
This is the strongest and most secure simple hitch.
If the single constrictor does slip (on very slippery
material) you can try this knot. If you make more
turns round the enclosed half knot or if you twine
the half knot one wrap extra it makes the total result
weaker. That is probably because it makes it
impossible to pull the knot as tight as this one. I
always use the double constrictor to "strangle"
tubes tight on a pipes. Tubes are often made from
"slippery" materials.
If the end of the object which you
want to lay the double constrictor on
is free, it is best to tie the knot in the
bight. If you master this technique it
is much faster. Practice and check
yourself after the first turn. If that
resulted in the single constrictor
instead of the clove hitch you started
the wrong way.
