Barrel Hitch Tim MacWelchThe Barrel Hitch has been used in sailing and construction work for centuries. It allows you to secure a bucket, barrel or other cylindrical object to lift it in a well-balanced position. Many of these knots have critical uses in the various other sections of this website and, when space permits, these knots are repeated there.

Bowline Hitch

Once the “rabbit” is back down its hole, pull the “tree” up to tighten the bowline. The eight knots in this section are the most basic knots – the building blocks of knot tying. They illustrate the fundamental principles of knot tying.

After you wrap the right around left, reach through the gap above the base knot. Once snaked, grab the right loop and wrap completely around the snaked left loop. After thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Chris Cage created Greenbelly to provide fast, filling and balanced meals to backpackers.

The Knotted Drawstring

But don’t forget that tie bars are just as acceptable with casual attire. Clip your tie bar between the second and third button on your shirt. The bar should extend about halfway to three-quarters of the width of your tie. Pull the wide end through the loop in front of the knot. Tighten the knot by pulling down on the wide end and adjust the knot as needed. Now you just need to tie the belt by taking the top end and tighten with both hands.

Keep pulling the end of the belt until it feels comfortably tight around your waist. I think I snip them off about 90% of the time. Usually it’s because the item comes with a self-belt, and I often prefer to wear a different belt, which may be too wide or unwieldy for the loops. Plus they’re often not at the spot where I’d prefer to belt the item, and I don’t like the way they look. There are several innovative ways to tie a belt these days, in case you are bored with wearing belts the traditional way.

Create a Half Hitch in one end of the continuing rope, and drop it over the nearby loop. Make a Half Hitch in the other standing end, drop it over its adjacent loop, and then tighten the whole thing slowly. Need a loop in a line when neither end is free? The man harness can create strong loops in a rope or cord, which can be used for a variety of purposes.

Three legs are sturdier than two, and the tripod is a versatile piece of camp equipment you will definitely want to learn how to build. You can use the tripod lashing to create shelters, jerky racks, water filters, and a host of other camp fixtures. Tim MacWelchThe tripod lashing is commonly used for shelters and to support camp items, like a cooking pot over a fire.

Using a single line of cord, follow the steps below to learn how to tie the classic loop knot. Thread the belt through the belt loops on your pants. Stand up straight with a pair of pants on, buttoned and zipped up. Put the end of the double ring belt through the front loop on your left side, then pull it through all the other loops until it is wrapped all the way around your waist. Whether you’ve opted for a classic belted trench or a sleek, modern style, there are plenty of ways to tie the belt and personalize your look.

Pin the loose end of the belt with a bobby pin if it is too short to reach a loop. Hold the end of the belt straight and flat against your waist. Slide a bobby pin over the loose end and the section of belt directly underneath it to clip it in place. The belt will still be loose at this point as you have not created any tension yet. Hold the rings in your left hand and use your right hand to slide the tip of the belt through the rings, going towards your left.

Now, wrap the left-hand string around the right-hand string again, and lay the left-hand string over the right-hand string above the intersection of the x. Finally, bring the left-hand string around and through the new loop, and pull on the left-hand string to make a knot. Slide the knot up and down along the right-hand string to loosen or tighten your pants. Create a classic wrap-around knot at the back of your unbuttoned coat.

It’s another type of binding knot, and it’s best used when you need objects to stay tight and secure and not worry about them loosening. Like, for example, when hauling a pile of wood or objects of various sizes. Knots get labeled as either jamming or non-jamming knots.

And the style can look sloppy with strings hanging out everywhere. The basic loop drawstring is normally found on athletic shorts. Every once and a while there is a rogue pair of sweat shorts with them. The thick flat drawcord normally comes with more expensive sweat shorts. The thickness allows for a tighter pull and fit around the waist.
