The only knot you need.

I’m embarrassed to say I’m crepe at remembering knots. For a bloke who’s been boating for well over half a century I’m doubly embarrassed. I can tie a bowline, reef and a passable truckie’s hitch but that’s about it. I have one fishing knot that does everything. And…dunno what it’s called.

One comment below the article on the referenced page above says it’s all muscle memory. As a guitar/bass player/teacher I have I think a workmanlike handle on muscle memory but I find knots need roadmaps, so I’m calling bs on that. How the bell blokes who invented them did it has me stuffed. Yachtsman I used to work with showed me an icicle hitch which will allow you to hang off an inverted cone.

Black magic!!

Anyway the link above was very helpful, hope you all find it the same.

Just remembered an old thread on the subject with attached website. In it I note I use a buntline to attach to objects. Seven year old thread …can’t even remember the first turn on a buntline now. But I remember attaching my keel pull ring with one and lying in the dirt referencing my iPad.
