Knot Ninjas


French Bowline

A bowline with two loops, with the portion between the two adjustable. A person may sit in one loop with the other around his body, leaving the arms and legs free. Useful for rescue.
A stopper and heaving knot, similar but more elegant than the common Stevedore knot. The size can be varied by the number of turns on the standing part of the rope.


Monk's Knot


Packer's Knot

Used to begin wrapping a package. Tie a figure eight knot around the standing part with the end emerging parallel to the standing part. Make the first turn around the package by passing the packers knot loop around the package and pulling it tight.
Tied in the middle of a rope, it provides a grip to add power to a hauling line.
