What knots are essential to know

[lex137]

I'm a lineman apprentice so I use a lot of knots everyday bowline, square, clove, timber hitch, half hitches, monkey fist, grunts knot, have to know how to make short splice, butt splice, and an eye splice for my journeyman's test.

Learning the square lashing by building a rectangular bird trap. 12 knots down, 12 to go. That's a good way to learn a knot, tying it 24 times in a row to build something.

I use the surgeons knot all of the time in my knitting.... I know that using knots of any kind in knitting are frowned upon, but after hours of work I'll be damned if it comes apart, especially if I'm making something for kids.

I also use a few knots who's names I don't know for fly tying and fishing.

my wife needs to hang out with you!

what knot would you guys recommend to try rope to my boat anchor? relatively thick rope and not easy bending.

[lex137]

tie a bowline, if the rope comes undone make it go back through itself.

Call me crazy!! But I use the "Hangman's Noose" for my anchor. Strong, tight, and Very cool looking! Also you can't beet the "Palomar knot" Only knot I use for fishing!

I have a ladder I want to tie onto my roof rack. Should I be using a bowline on one end, and a clove hitch on the other end? Clove hitch on both ends? Trucker's Knot?

Everything I know about knots, a former platoon sergeant told me. "If you don't know how to tie a knot, tie a lot."
