EStar Stopper Knot
The EStar Knot helps you move the rope in various directions and is one of
the easiest to make. Not only that, it’s also been proven to be quite secure,
too. The only issue here is that it cannot easily be untied because it is
asymmetrical, but other than that, you’re in for a treat—especially because
it could withstand strong tension!

Instructions:
1. Get the tail end of the rope and have it wrapped around the standing
end.
2. After doing so, go and wrap it around itself.
3. Then, wrap it under itself so you’d find a buntline hitch.
4. Next, let the tail end pass through the aforementioned hitch, and
make sure they’d go around the two visible loops, as well.
5. Have the buntline tightened, and do so both for the standing and tail
ends, as well.
