Beer Knot

The Beer Knot is made so that tubular webbings could come together and
work as one. Arborists and climbers usually use this knot so that they could
make their own slings. It’s not the easiest knot to make, but is definitely one
of the strongest, and is also needed to make the basket hitch, as mentioned

earlier. This can carry up to 4000 lbs. of weight, and is quite reliable—that’s
why it’s important to learn so you can survive when left on your own.

Instructions:

1. First, make sure to tie an overhand knot and make sure to prepare
the ends of the rope, as well.

2. Then, hook one of the rods onto one end.
3. Push the rod up as far back as you can so the double layer could be
created.
4. Take off the pusher rod that you have used before loosening the

overhand knot.
5. Finally, you have to reposition the knot as you tighten the double
layer.
