knots

Simon’s Knot Challenge -another great site to visit

http://www.actiondonation.org/articles/complete-guide-to-knots.html

 

The knots you learn here are the most commonly used knots when we go camping, boating or just mucking around in the garden.

Once learnt you will never forget them!

They are so important I am attaching a hobby badge reward for any cub who can learn them and demonstrate they can do them easily! There is no time limit.

 

Bowline

Step by step:

Click on the Link below for a step by step guide:

  • A commonly used knot to tie a loop in the end of a rope. It has the advantage of not jamming, compared to some other loop forming knots (for example when using an overhand knot on a large bight to form a loop).
  • Form a small loop (the direction is important), and pass the free end of the knot up through the loop, around behind the standing part of the rope, and back down through the loop.
  • A chant used by many to remember this knot is "The rabbit comes out of the hole, round the tree, and back down the hole again", where the hole is the small loop, and the rabbit is the running end of the rope.

 

Sheet Bend

Step by step:

  • The Sheet Bend is commonly used to tie two ropes of unequal thickness together. The thicker rope of the two is used to form a bight, and the thinner rope is passed up through the bight, around the back of the bight, and then tucked under itself.

 

 

 

Round turn and two half hitches

Step by step:

  • Used to secure a rope to a pole, or to start or finish a lashing. Pass the running end of the rope over the pole twice. Then pass the running end over the standing part of rope, and tuck it back up and under itself, forming a half hitch. Repeat this for a second half hitch.
  • This knot has a redeeming feature - it rarely jams!
