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.
