Coenwulf,

Glad to have you posting with us! Welcome to Tree World!

Let us know if you and the scouts need any other information on any specific knots or hitches.

I love the blakes hitch too, use it every time I climb ... but I'm old!

I am knot

meaning to take anything away from Tree World input but here is a site that has a whole bunch of knots. Animated Knots by Grog

I was in Boy Scouts when I was a kid, never could get the badge for knot tying. Now I spend a third of my year tying one after another, all day long.

I am a simple arborist and only have a repitoire of about six knots, and can tie them all with my eyes closed. Always remember TDS.

6 knots....Oh my....

here's a good one....best knot for joining two lines
Zeppelin bend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shhhh! Roger I'm officially up to eight now!

I had to tie up the three kids at Christmas, and to avoid any escapes I used different kots on each, BUT the boy is a utility arborist, and had to look up a few he might KNOT know!

rbtree · 12th January 2009, 04:02 PM

the Carrick bend, a very pretty knot.

Similar to the Zeppelin Bend, but a bit harder to tie...it's a knot I don't use, so would have to think about it.
