In everyday life, we are often faced with the need to pack, fasten or tie something. Usually, in such a situation, we take a string in our hands and begin with enthusiasm to come up with unthinkable designs from knots, twists and weaves, which are then decidedly impossible to untangle. Therefore, let's learn how to tie a few more popular knots.

Gazebo node

This is one of the main knots with which the bowstring has been fastened since ancient times. It is sometimes referred to as the king of knots for its simplicity and versatility. It is used to obtain a non-tightening (!) Loop at the end of a straight rope, to attach the rope to rings or eyelets, to tie the ropes.

The “Simple bayonet” knot also allows you to tie a non-tightening loop, and it is used mainly in those places that require a particularly reliable fastening. For example, such assemblies have long been used in the Navy for securing mooring lines to mooring devices, for attaching tow ropes and heavy loads, and so on.
