This knot can be used to provide a toe hold in the middle of a rope; to make an emergency bosun's chair; [5] [6] and to create an upper rope "block" to make a crude purchase by threading the rope round an anchor point and then back up through the loop.
The uni knot is widely used for attaching hooks, rings and swivels to the end of the line [7] and it is also used for joining two fishing lines together. [8] The bend form of the uni knot (for joining two lines) is not a noose; rather it is akin to a multiple fisherman's knot with the two opposing knotted parts arranged in the manner of uni knots.
There is a potential with beginners to wrongly tie the bowline. This faulty knot stems from an incorrect first step while tying the rabbit hole. If the loop is made backwards so that the working end of the rope is on the bottom, the resulting knot will be the Eskimo bowline, looking like a sideways bowline, which is also a stable knot.

Braided lines often have 1/3 to 1/4 the diameter of mono or fluorocarbon lines at a given test breaking strength. Therefore, it is easy to fit much longer braided line on a spool than monofilament or fluorocarbon line for the same strength. This is very important for deep sea fishing, since reels don't have to be very big to accommodate long lines.
In this dimension (one of five featured in the film), Miles learns of a threat that could destroy every universe at once. “In the first movie we were introduced to Miles, and we met Gwen, and we ...
The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
First called "constrictor knot" in Clifford Ashley's 1944 work The Ashley Book of Knots, this knot likely dates back much further. [5] Although Ashley seemed to imply that he had invented the constrictor knot over 25 years before publishing The Ashley Book of Knots, [1] research indicates that he was not its only originator, but his Book of Knots does seem to be the source of subsequent ...
