One of these knots could save your life one day.
But first, it helps to know a few strange terms. Put it simply, a knot is some kind of fastening or splice made by intertwining one or more ropes or some other flexible material. After tightening a knot, it should hold on its own. A hitch is a little bit different. It’s like a knot, but it generally involves another object like a stick, a post, a ring, or occasionally another rope. Properly tied, hitches can hold their place, or they may be able to slide, depending on the hitch you choose.

After you tighten the timber hitch so the four or five wraps are tight against the object, the constant tension will keep the hitch seated.This little gem of a knot is used on fishing line to secure two lines together .
