So, I don't know much about knots.

I decided I'd look up some knots. I came across this site:

Coool I could have used this APP when I took my High Angle Rescue Class, that was the hardest part of the test doing the classroom stuff, on a side note the practical test was the shiznits, we had an "injured" person on top of the tower we had to secure them inside the litter box, brong them down about 16 feet and move them across about 25 feet staying about 6 foot of the ground.

Almost every team got their chance to DROP the injured person face first hahahahahahahahaaha!

Cool. I know how to tie a bowline. That's about it. Always wanted to know more.

learn figure 8 and 9, and a barrel knot(which is best for tying two ropes together) and that can carry you through anything

Curse YOU, BBQ!

I'm on a 36 hour knot binge here. I need some better rope, though. This cheap stuff is beating my hands to hell.

That is how I learned all my knots. Plus back in the day my dad spent a lot of time showing me stuff. I am surprised at how much I remember considering I have not tied a lot of them in over 15 years. I mainly use my bowline, two half hitches, square knot, taut-line hitch and if you consider them knots splices. It is always useful to know at least an eye splice.
