Real Knots - Pole Shift Survival Information

Roper's Knot Pages - Bends - Fishermans Bend
This is the double-stopper knot with the Double Overhandknot
as a base. In fact you tie two strangle knots round the standing
parts of both ropes. It is best to tie two counter-image strangle
knots. With equal knots it is far more difficult to fit them close
to eachother.
This knot is used by climbers to tie two ropes together. It is strong and releyable, but difficult to untie
where this knot ends up in the middle of a climbing rope (and it will if you used it to tie two ropes
together!) it is wise to tie a fixed loop in the loose end of the falling part as a security by passing the knot.
Double Fisherman's Knot
This is for me the universal 'double-stopper-bend'. It is strong, beautiful, it
does not jam, so what do you want more... It is the bend-variant of the
flemish Eight
