This knot serves well as a simple stopper, which can be quickly given away even under cable tension.

When jerking the running end, it will instantly untie.

It can be used in all cases when you need to temporarily fix something in such a way that at any moment you can release the rope.

If an ordinary figure eight is made with a loop, i.e. skip the running end folded in half into its last loop, then we got a good quick-release stopper.

A running simple knot - can be easily turned into a quick untied knot without changing its function, i.e. using it as a running, and not as a quick-untying knot.
To do this, you need to enter the running end, folded in half, into its loop. In this case, it will have two properties at once - it will tighten and quickly untie if you pull on the running end sticking out of the loop.

With the help of this knot, you can moor the boat beyond the coastal fell in such a way that, if necessary, the painter can be given away without leaving the boat by pulling on the running end, left long enough.
This is a very common knot. In any case, all over the world, it is they who tie horses by the bridle to a leash. So that the knot does not accidentally untie, the end of the bridle is pushed into the loop (b).

It got its name from the word "reef-shtert" - a small end of the cable tied into the sail cloth, which was "taken by reefs" i.e. tied the part of the sail matched to the luff of the sail or to the boom in order to reduce its area in strong winds. On large sailing ships with direct armament, reefs were taken with the help of reef seasons - the flat ends of the cable, with which the upper luff of the sail was tied to the reef leer.

The reefs were connected in such a way that at any moment, if necessary, they could be untied or, as the sailors say, "tear apart."
For this purpose, a reef knot was used. In maritime affairs, this knot is used to tie the pins of canvas covers of lifeboats, winches, compasses and other instruments on the upper navigation open bridge.
This knot is known colloquially as the "one-bow knot". 0n is familiar to everyone, many tie their shoelaces with them. In principle, this is a simple and useful node.

It is sometimes called a fail knot. But sailors almost never use it. For a temporary bunch of shterts and other ends, a reef knot is enough for them. In the dictionary of Vladimir Dahl, it is called "loop knot" and "burdock (bow)".

Often it is also called a bow knot. It is knitted in the same way as a straight knot, but in the second half-knot, the running ends of the cable are tied doubled. This is an indispensable knot for tying shoelaces, rope, bows around the neck and bows in the hair, as well as bundles and boxes.

An excellent weaving knot - a "sibling" to the clew knot, can be improved if the running end of the cable is passed under the root folded in half. At the same time, it will hold just as securely, but at any moment it can be untied, even under tension.

It is one of the practical and reliable nodes. Its name suggests that it appeared in our country. And although the Kalmyk steppes are not associated with the sea and ships, it has long been used in the navy.
Foreign sailors do not know him, and, oddly enough, he does not appear in any of the many manuals on knitting knots published abroad. In practice, this beautiful knot is knitted almost instantly as follows.

Get the running end of the cable behind the object and take it, slightly stepping back from the end, from above with your left hand with your thumb towards you. With your right hand, place the root end over the left fist, in which the running end is already clamped, and make the root of the cable complete a turn around it.

Then, with the movement of the left hand, move the root end under the root of the large loop, while at the same time carrying the running end around the same part of the cable and then intercepting the running end with the fingers of the left hand.

After that, gently pull the running end in the form of a loop through the root end hose on the left hand (by dropping the hose) so that the running end. not straightened, and tighten the knot with the root end. The Kalmyk knot securely holds and quickly unties if you pull on the running end. It is used for temporary fastening of the throwing end to the mooring line when the latter is fed from the ship to the berth.

It is used to attach the reins to the bridle, as well as to tie the horse in the stable. If a running end that is not folded in half is passed into the loop of the Kalmyk knot, then the knot will not be quickly untied. In this form, it is called the Cossack knot.

If you skip the running end folded in a loop into the loop of this knot, then the knot will still retain its main property, but if desired, it can be quickly untied. To do this, you just need to pull the running end.

It is used when towing boats and during their stay under fire at the side of the ship only in those cases when there are people in them.
First, the running end of the painter is passed into the bow boat eye, then under the first can, then it is carried from above around the second can, the end is brought out above the cable and again led under the can, then the end of the painter is folded in the form of a loop and led under the hose made on top of the can. The boat knot is easily untied by pulling the running end of the painter lying on the can.

Among the many ingenious knots for tying bags, this knot is considered one of the most common. In principle, this is the same figure eight, in the second loop of which a double-folded running end is missed. It is very convenient in that it can be tightly tightened and quickly untied by pulling on the running end.

Wet half bayonet

It serves the same purpose as a wet half bayonet. After one run around the fell, the running end is passed in a figure-eight around the root end, then it is folded in half and inserted in the form of a loop between the figure-eight loops and the root end. This knot does not untie as quickly as the previous one.

Imagine that a climber needs to descend a rope from a height down. He walks alone, and he always has one rope that he still needs. What to do in order to take the rope with you when descending from a height?

Very simple: you need to fasten the rope with a bucket knot, go down along its root end and, with a jerk for the long running end, untie the knot tied at the top.

With this "remotely untied" knot, you can lower, for example, a bucket of water from the window of the house, put it on the ground and raise the rope up again.

The principle of this node is the same as that of the bucket. The only difference is that the loop is drawn differently. These two original knots can be successfully used by climbers, firefighters and builders.

A rope is an indispensable thing not only in everyday life, but also on a hike. Its application is quite wide: from an elementary device for drying clothes to the organization of crossings, insurances and other vital devices. Therefore, every serious hiker should know how to tie knots on a rope. And not simple, but tourist rope knots for all occasions.

Therefore, in this article we will analyze the main types of rope knots and how to use them on a hike. Schemes of tourist nodes will also be given.

And we will start by figuring out how to tie the simplest knot.

It is very easy to tie a straight knot, but it is intended for those cases when someone's life does not depend on it. Those. it is not suitable for insurance, because it can untie, slip off. When tying a straight knot, so-called control fixing knots are required. What is good about this node? It is easily untied, just pull the two ends of the rope on one side of the knot. And besides, it knits quickly and easily. Those. if you need to quickly tie two ropes of the same diameter for light loads, a straight knot is the way to go.

One of the options for the control node:

Tourist knots: conductor, Swiss conductor, figure eight

How to tie a conductor knot and a figure eight? The differences in their tying are insignificant. They are designed to create a strong loop, used in climbers' safety system. The conductor and the figure eight are very reliable nodes, therefore they are widely used in tourism. The figure eight is considered more reliable, and therefore does not require control nodes, unlike the conductor.

How to knit a bowline knot?

The bowline knot is no less popular in tourism than the conductor. This is due to the fact that it is multifunctional and reliable. However, for severe cases with increased load, a control node is required. A bowline is used if necessary to tie a rope around a support, to tie two ropes, to create a non-tightening loop.

Grapewan is a more complex knot than those given earlier. This is a reliable knot designed for tying two ropes, ribbons, etc. It does not require safety knots, however, it tightens heavily under increased load.

Grasping Tourist Knots: the Prussian Knot

Grasping knots are used to organize crossings, for insurance when climbing or descending an inclined surface. This node is easily moved, tightened under load. It is indispensable for tourists and climbers. However, before tying the Prussik knot, make sure that all its components are straightened out, otherwise it may slide along the rope.

Option 1

Option 2

It is used for temporary fastening, or for those cases when, after descent, you need to return the rope. One end of the rope, when tying this knot, serves to hold the weight, the other - to untie the knot.

How to tie a weaving knot?

The weaving knot is used to tie two ropes of the same diameter. It consists of a number of safety knots and, since it tends to slip, it requires additional control knots. How to tie a weaving knot? We put two ropes one on top of the other, knit a control knot first on one side, then on the other, tighten two knots, and tie another safety knot at the ends.

How to knit a clew knot?

What if we need one long rope, and we only have pieces of rope of different thicknesses? To do this, we need a clew knot. It is suitable for permanent loads, i.e. may untie when released.

Reinforced version of the clew - bramshkotovy knot (a thin rope is wound).

How to knit tourist knots correctly? Results

Let's summarize. All types of tourist rope knots can be divided into a number of conditional categories depending on their scope. Let's highlight the main ones:

• for tying two ropes of the same diameter;
• for tying ropes of different diameters;
• to create loops;
• for tying a rope around an object (tree, pole, etc.);
• for grasping another rope (attaching insurance, organizing a crossing).

This is not a complete list of the purpose of rope knots for tourism. However, once you master the above set of knots, you will become much more efficient and useful in your camping life. It is important to remember that each knot must be given special attention in order to knit it correctly. After all, not only your life, but also your comrades on the campaign may depend on your attentiveness. Let the ability to tie knots help you protect yourself and others.

Quick tie knots.

A running simple knot can easily be turned into a quick-untying one without changing its function, i.e. using it as a running, and not as a quickly untied knot. To do this, you need to enter the running end, folded in half, into its loop. In this case, it will have two properties at once - it will tighten and quickly untie if you pull on the running end sticking out of the loop. With the help of this knot, you can moor the boat beyond the coastal fell in such a way that, if necessary, the painter can be given away without leaving the boat by pulling on the running end, left long enough. This is a very common knot. In any case, all over the world, it is they who tie horses by the bridle to a leash. To prevent the knot from being accidentally untied, the end of the bridle is pushed into the loop.

It got its name from the word "reef-shtert" - a small end of the cable tied into the sail cloth, with which they "took reefs", that is, they tied the part of the sail matched to the lower luff of the sail or to the boom in order to reduce its area in strong winds . It is very similar to a straight knot, except that when knitting the second half knot, its running end is threaded into a loop folded in half. When jerking the running end, the knot is instantly untied. In maritime affairs, this knot is used for tying the pins of canvas covers of lifeboats, winches, compasses and other devices on the upper navigation open bridge. This knot is known colloquially as the "one-bow knot". He is familiar to everyone, many tie their shoelaces with them. This is a simple and useful knot.

Any maritime knot must be tied tightly and securely, because security largely depends on this, and at the same time so that it can be easily untied at any time if necessary.

Things to consider for beginners before learning

It is often difficult for beginners to understand the terminology that is used when explaining the basics of knitting marine knots, so initially it is worth learning a few basic definitions:

1) the root end - the fixed end of the cable;
2) the running end is free, i.e. loose end, from which all movements begin when knitting any of the knots.

In English terminology for marine knots, there is such a classification:

1) knot - knots that are characterized as interlacing or linking the running end with the root;
2) bend - knots, which are characterized as an interlacing of the running ends of two cables to be combined into one;
3) hitch - nodes that are characterized as attaching the running end to some object.

It is important for beginners in maritime affairs to master the main types of knots that are most often used in practice, and on the basis of which it is already easy to understand the principle of formation of other varieties.

Major maritime knots

Gazebo/Bowline- one of the most important maritime knots, which should be mastered first of all by every sailor. It contains elements of various marine knots, which makes it an almost universal knot, which is used for insurance, mooring, and for attaching a cable to a hook. Tying two cables with this marine knot is considered the most reliable. A significant plus is the possibility of its use for cables of any diameter and from any material. It knits easily, does not slip along the cable, it is easy to untie, but at the same time it never unties itself and is especially reliable. Because of this versatility, the gazebo knot is often called the king of sea knots.

How to tie a gazebo knot:

1) create a loop from top to bottom;
2) stretch the running end through the loop formed;
3) then skip the running end behind the main one and thread it into the loop again, after which the running end should be in another loop;
4) tighten tightly.

Although the gazebo knot is strong enough, it will not be a problem to untie it either, it is only necessary to slightly move the loop of the running end in relation to the root end, which is slightly weakened at the same time.

Eight- a typical classic marine knot, so named for its shape. It underlies the knitting of many knots and is usually used as a stop knot and a fastening knot. The main advantage of the figure eight is the ease of tying and untying, even when the cable gets wet.

How to tie a figure eight knot:

1) encircle the running end around the main end, and then pull it over it, thereby forming a loop;
2) skip the running end into the loop formed, before that leading it behind itself;
3) tighten firmly.

straight knot- one of the oldest sea knots, which the ancient Greeks called Hercules. Its main purpose is to connect two cables of the same diameter. A direct knot is often used, but far from the most reliable maritime knot. Its main drawback is slipping along the cable and strong tightening under heavy loads or when wet, so in such cases it is better not to use it.

Tie a straight knot quite simple: one running end in one direction, the second in the other (if in one direction, then you get an unreliable so-called "woman's" knot), and for a decoupling, you just need to pull the running and root ends in different directions.

A simple half-bayonet and its more complex variations

Simple half bayonet- a widespread simple non-tightening maritime knot, which underlies more complex variations of this kind. To obtain it, it is necessary to circle the running end around the object to which the cable will be attached, and then circle it around the root end, and pass it through the loop formed. Then the running end is attached to the root. Such a knot is highly reliable and perfectly withstands strong traction.

- a more complex version of a simple half-bayonet, which is formed from two such identical knots. Its main purpose is to secure the mooring ends on the berths and towing. Such a knot is formed by no more than three half-bayonets. A larger number will in no way affect the strength and reliability of the knot, as the English proverb eloquently testifies, stating that three half-bayonets are enough even for a royal yacht.

A simple bayonet with a hose- a marine knot, similar to a simple bayonet, with only one additional hose around the object for which the cable is attached. It is also used for mooring, especially during long stays, as it is more reliable than simple.

Fishing bayonet/anchor knot- one of the oldest and most reliable nodes, which is used to attach the cable to the anchor, as well as for all work with cables under the influence of strong traction. It is in many ways similar to a simple bayonet with a hose, only the first half-bayonet passes inside the hose, covering the attachment.

It is important to develop such good skills in knitting sea knots that even with your eyes closed you can easily tie the knot required in a particular situation, and practice in this matter is one of the main conditions for the successful development of this art.

Untying simple knot . This knot serves as the simplest stopper, which can be quickly given away even when the cable is pulled. When jerking the running end, it will instantly untie. It can be used in all cases when you need to temporarily fix something in such a way that at any moment you can release the rope. (Fig. 91)

Unleashing figure eight . If an ordinary figure eight (see Fig. 3) is made with a loop, i.e. skip the running end folded in half into its last loop, then we will get a good quick-release stopper. (Fig. 92)

Untying running simple knot . A running simple knot (see Fig. 82) can be easily turned into a quick untie knot without changing its function, i.e. using it as a running, and not as a quick-untying knot. To do this, you need to enter the running end, folded in half, into its loop. In this case, it will have two properties at once - it will tighten and quickly untie if you pull on the running end sticking out of the loop. This knot is very common in the world. It is used for mooring a boat for a fall, for tying horses by a bridle to a leash. And so that the knot does not untie, the end of the bridle is pushed into the loop (Fig. 93 b). (Fig. 93)

reef knot . It got its name from the word "reef-shtert" - a small end of the cable tied into the sail cloth, which was used to connect the sail's luff to the bottom of the sail in order to reduce its area in strong winds. It is very similar to a straight knot and is knitted in the manner shown in fig. 25, except that when knitting the second half-knot, its running end is threaded into the loop folded in half. When jerking the running end, the knot is instantly untied. It is used for tying up the canvas covers of lifeboats, as well as in everyday life for tying shoelaces. (fig.94)

double reef knot . It is also called a halyard knot. Sailors almost never use it. It is knitted in the same way as a straight knot, but in the second half-knot, the running ends of the cable are tied doubled. (Fig. 95)

Untying weaving knot . An excellent weaving knot is a "sibling" to the clew knot. It can be improved if the running end of the torso is passed under the root folded in half. (Fig. 96)

Kalmyk knot . It is one of the practical and reliable nodes. Its name speaks of its origin. On fig. 97 is a schematic diagram of the knitting of this knot, which shows the relative position of the ends of the cable relative to each other. It is used for temporary fastening of the casting line to the mooring line, when the latter is fed from the ship to the berth. And if you skip the running end that is not folded in half into the loop of this knot, then the knot will not be a quick untie. (Fig. 97)

Untie self-tightening knot . If you skip the running end folded in a loop into the loop of this knot, then the knot will still retain its main property, but if desired, it can be quickly untied. (Fig. 98)

Boat knot . Used for towing boats. First, the running end of the painter is passed into the bow boat eye, then under the first can, then it is carried from above around the second can, the end is brought out above the cable and again led under the can, then the end of the painter is folded in the form of a loop and led under the hose made on top of the can. (Fig. 99)

mill knot . Among the many ingenious knots for tying bags, this knot is considered one of the most common. In principle, this is the same figure eight, in the second loop of which a double-folded running end is missed. (Fig. 100)

"Wet" half bayonet . Many knots are difficult to untie when wet. It was this knot that was invented by sailors for such a situation. They are used for fastening painters and mooring lines for bollards, bollards and bitengs. As the knot did not drag on much and at the same time got wet, it can always be quickly given away. (Fig. 101)

Courier knot . It serves the same purposes as the "wet" half bayonet. After one run around the fell, the running end is passed in a figure-eight around the root end, then it is folded in half and inserted in the form of a loop between the figure-eight loops and the root end. It does not untie as quickly as the previous one. (Fig. 102)

bucket knot . What to do, having descended from a height, take the rope with you? Apply this "remote" node. The rope must be secured with a bucket knot, go down along its root end and, with a jerk for the long running end, untie the knot tied at the top. With this knot, you can lower the bucket of water, put it on the ground and raise the rope up again. (Fig. 103)

pirate knot . The principle is the same as that of the bucket. The only difference is that the loop is drawn differently. These nodes are used by climbers and builders. (Fig. 104)
