PROTECTING AND STORING ROPE

Seizing
For the following method, it’s possible to use small string (also used for
whipping). The following diagrams show larger rope for purposes of
clarity.

1 Make a Constrictor Knot around both ropes, leaving one end of the
string long enough to make the seizing. Make many wraps for a
distance of at least two rope diameters.

2 When the last wrap is made, tuck the string between the ropes and
proceed to make exactly two frapping turns.
