Example of noose on firewood

Noose
Traditionally the Noose knot is used to make snares to catch small animals.  The harder you pull, the more it cinches down tight. In practice, it’s useful around camp as a hitch to tie a rope to an object. It’s a simple knot and doesn’t require much length of rope to tie.  The overhand knot tends to come untied, so finish it with a stopper knot.

This knot can be used when gathering firewood to hold branches together to drag them back to camp.
