    Clove Hitch - This hitch is commonly

    used in mountaineering for fixing a


    rope to a carabiner, securing yourself to
    an anchor, or multitude other times
    when you need to secure a rope
    quickly.

    Reef Knot - is used to tie the two


    ends of a single rope together such
    that they will secure something,
    for example a bundle of objects,
    that is unlikely to move much. In
    addition to being used by sailors
    for reefing and furling sails, it is
    also one of the key knots of
    macrame textiles.

    Hangman’s Knot - also referred to as the uni knot, is a


    fishing knot that can be used for attaching line to your
    reel, joining two lines together, or for attaching lures,
    hooks, and swivels to your line.
    Half Knot - is a binding knot, being the first
    movement of the reef or square knot. It is
    tied with two ends around an object and is
    used when reefing, furling, and tying up
    parcels, shoestrings, and the like.

    Overhand Knot - is the simplest type of


    knot and is used to make a knob in a rope,
    string, or cord. It is used for tying packages,
    to keep rope ends from fraying, and as a first
    step in making more complex knots.

    Slip Knot - is used as a starting point for


    crochet and knitting. The slip knot is a
    stopper knot that may be spilled or slipped
    instantly by pulling on the end to withdraw
    a loop.
    Handcuff knot - The two loops are placed around the wrists or
    the ankles. The two ends are then pulled to tighten the loops
    for traction. The Handcuff Knot can also be used to restrain an
    animal or drag an animal carcass.

    Girth Hitch - attaches a sling or a webbing strap loop


    to your harness or to another sling, strap, or rope. It is
    also often employed when slings are used to connect
    anchor points to a static rope in a top-rope set-up.

    Prusik Knot - is a friction hitch or knot used to attach a


    loop of cord around a rope, applied in climbing,
    canyoneering, mountaineering, caving, rope rescue,
    ziplining, and by arborists. It is designed to move freely
    on a line as you climb.
