Just wondering what knots people tend to favour or use all the time - maybe a top 5/top 10 list. My favourites are:
Alpine Butterfly - for putting a loop in a rope - strong and easy to tie - can make double/triple loops.
Adjustable Grip Hitch - For making adjustable loops or tightening guylines etc
(I use either of above for joining lines together).
Round turn & two half hitches - a classic for things like hammocks, bow drill cordage etc - any temporary fixing.
Larks Head/Prusik - friction locking hitch/quick way of fixing things.
Jug Sling Hitch - for attaching loops onto the tops of bottles.
Timber/Killick Hitch - for dragging heavy logs etc around.
So what knots do you all use and why?
