Figure-Eight The Figure-Eight is another very diverse knot. When tied in the working end of a rope it becomes a stopper knot. It can be used to tie two ropes together (bend) or with retracing the knot a loop can be formed. Using the loop can be used to fasten the rope to an object (hitch). The knot is easy to recognize to verify it’s tied correctly. This knot can be used anywhere a bend or loop is needed. This provides a way to connect two ropes or a rope to a tree limb or object. Examples: tie two similar ropes or cords together, tie a hammock to a tree trunk, attach a guy line to the grommet in a tarp, tie lashing cords to a pack frame or D-ring. |
