G List of Knot

Coil Unattached Rope: How to coil an unattached rope in your hands and make a secure bundle which preserves the coil neatly.

Girth Hitch (Strap Hitch): The Girth Hitch is used to attach the loop of a webbing strap to your harness or another piece of webbing strapping. It is also known as the Lark's Head, the Cow Hitch, and the Lanyard Hitch. This page links to two other pages showing how to tie related knots.

Gnat Hitch: The Gnat Hitch is a simple compact hitch which is relatively easy to untie.

Square Knot (Reef): The Square, or Reef, Knot joins equal sized ropes, e.g., sail covers or a parcel. Never use it for human or other critical loads - it may spill into two Half Hitches and then slip. It is frequently tied wrongly as a "Granny Knot."

Double Fisherman's or Grapevine Bend: The Double Fisherman's provides a secure method for joining two ropes of similar size. The knot is relatively compact and therefore better than some alternatives when retrieving a climbing rope.

Duncan (Uni) Knot: The Duncan (Uni) Knot is a versatile loop knot. The Uni series can take the place of most other fishing knots if necessary.

Grog Sling: The Grog Sling creates a loop using hollow braided rope. It employs a Brummel Splice and obviates the need for stitching.

Sliding Splice by Grog: The Sliding Splice makes an adjustable splice suitable for making a yachtsman's belt. It is made by raising loops in alternate strands in a three stranded rope.
