The one handed bowline is used for the same purpose as the bowline but is made so that you may tie it with one hand.

Start by raping the rope around yourself ones. Take the rope with your healthy hand and curl your hand around the long side of rope. The short side of the rope should still be in your hand, and the long side off the rope should have a loop around your wrist. Now force the rope in your hand around the long side of the rope. Then pull your hand out of the loop around your wrist with the rope in your hand still in your hand.

A butterfly knot is a fixed loop tied in the middle of a rope. There are a number of other knots that do the same thing, but the butterfly knot tends to work better because it doesn’t jam when strained and it’s easy to untie.

Since it’s tied in a symmetrical fashion, strain can be put on it from any direction. Even though this knot is usually tied in the middle of the rope, you can also tie it at the end of the line if you need a fixed loop that is easily untied.

The butterfly knot is a favored knot for mountain/rock climbers, used for hand or foot loops or used to hook their carabiners into. It has many uses in pioneering work.

The mooring hitch is a more secure knot than the better known (and easier to tie) slippery hitch. This knot holds fast while under tension yet can be released quickly with a tug on the free end. Despite its name, however, this is a temporary knot and not to be trusted to moor a boat or anything else of value!

The hunter’s bend is a fairly simple knot that is used to tie two lines together. First, place the running end under the standing part to form a loop. Second, thread the 2nd running end under the 1st standing part and through the loop; then cross over the 2nd standing part. Finish by threading both running ends through the central loop in the opposite directions and tightening the knot.

The buntline hitch is a knot used for attaching a rope to an object. It is formed by passing the working end around an object, then making a clove hitch around the rope’s standing part, taking care that the turns of the clove hitch progress towards the object rather than away from it. Secure and easily tied, the buntline hitch will jam when subjected to extreme loads. Given the knot’s propensity to jam, it is often made in slipped form.

The rolling hitch (or Magnus hitch) is a knot used to attach a rope to a rod, pole, or other rope. A simple friction hitch, it is used for lengthwise pull along an object rather than at right angles. The rolling hitch is designed to resist lengthwise movement for only a single direction of pull.

Tie off one end of rope. Tie a slippery half hitch in the middle of the line to form a small loop. With free end, make a half turn around a fitting and bring the free end back up to the loop.
Feed through and pull line tight. Finish off with one or two half hitches.

This hitch is very practical to lash long objects. The working end needs only one tug and will not slip easy. Before the “zip tie” this hitch was used by electrical engineers to tie “wiring-trees.”

The fisherman’s knot is a specialized bend. It consists of two overhand knots wrapped around each other. It requires little dexterity to tie, so is often used in stubborn materials. When tightened, it becomes fairly compact, and the free ends can be cropped very close to the knot.
These qualities make it very useful for fishing line – it is less likely to jam a fishing rod, and is easier to tie with cold, wet hands. To tie the fisherman’s knot, lay the two ends to be tied alongside each other and facing opposite ways. Tie an overhand knot on the first rope and pass the second rope through the loop formed. Tighten the overhand knot, to prevent the line inside it from flopping around. Then tie another overhand knot on the second rope with the first rope passing through it.
