SIMPLE NOOSE
Purpose
A simple sliding loop that tightens when pulled is handy for starting any sort of
simple lashing, from a parcel to a luggage rack load.
Tying
Utilize the standing part of the line, and work away from the nearest end, to tie
what would otherwise be an overhand knot with a draw-loop (figures 1–3).
