4. Like the square knot, the constrictor knot can be used to
secure a bandage or a splint to an injured limb. Just use
caution to make sure you don’t apply too much tension
when tightening the knot or you might restrict the blood
circulation, which could result in permanent damage and
possibly even the need to have the limb amputated. If you
choose to use this knot to apply a bandage or splint to
someone, be sure to monitor the person frequently to
ensure the knot isn’t so tight that it is restricting blood
circulation. If you discover that it is, you should probably
loosen the knot to prevent any medical complications.
5. This knot is great for keeping a coiled up rope or an
extension cord tightly bound so that it isn’t a tangled
mess when you need to use it.

Poacher’s Knot
If you find yourself in a survival situation where you have to
resort to trying to trap some small animals to put food on
the table, you’ll be glad you know how to tie this knot. It
creates a noose you might be able to use to snare some
game with. This knot is also sometimes referred to as the
“poacher’s snare” or “strangle snare.”

Pros: This knot is easy to tie and when the loop this knot
creates is pulled on, it locks down tight. This means if you
trap an animal with it, the harder they pull, the tighter it gets.
