Tie an overhand knot (see page6) with the

doubled cord.

Slipknot (Simple Noose)

THE SIMPLEST OF SLIDING LOOPS THAT TIGHTENS

WHEN PULLED

The slipknot, also known as the simple noose, can be tied in
any type of cordage material, be it synthetic or natural fiber.

It works well as the start of a lashing (when cordage is used
to tie two or more objects, such as sticks or poles, together).

Although included with camping knots, this one may be
useful to climbers and boaters too. This knot appears to be

an overhand with a draw loop. However, in an overhand
with draw loop, the working end forms the loop. In a slipknot

the standing part forms the loop.
