Real Knots - Pole Shift Survival Information

Roper's Knot Pages - Hitches
The strangle knot is important as temporary whiping
and as permanent binding from which you need
more in line. Laid well it is virtually impossible to
untie without tools (needle or knife). So never use it
if you need to untie. Used as marlhitch it is best
used as first and last in a row. Or when a row
becomes 'dangerously' long this hitch is used as
ensurance between shorter rows.
Be careful!. Tied in this way the working end (or the bundle) needs only one tug, but it is not enoug to
pull once, it needs to be worked up properly!

The Constrictor Hitch
The constrictor knot is important as temporary whipping and as permanent
binding from which you need more than one in a row, but not in line (when you
should use the strangle knot). Laid well, it is virtually impossible to untie
without tools (needle or knife). Never use it if you need to untie it. It is almost
the strongest among the 'simple' hitches. Only the double constrictor is
stronger. Because the constrictor may be tied in a bight, it is often preferred
over the strangle knot.
