the center for a five-turn Monkey’s Fist, and so forth, tucking each
Monkey’s Fist inside the new one such that lines stay perpendicular.

The Monkey’s Fist can be dangerous if it hits a bystander while throwing it.

Sometimes a small bag of sand is used to weight the end of a line if there is a risk of
injury.

SLIPPED FIGURE EIGHT KNOT

If you want your Figure Eight Knot to release quickly, modify it by
making it into a Slipped Figure Eight Knot. This knot is tied from a
different version of the Figure Eight Knot.

Use the running end to make a crossing turn by twisting the end down
and over the standing part and underneath it. Then, use the bight of the
running end to pull it through the loop.

You can release this knot simply by pulling on the running end.

TRIPLE OVERHAND KNOT

This next knot in the multiple overhand series is tied similarly to the
Double Overhand, but with three passes through the loop instead of two.

When tied this way, it also has the belly-and-spine appearance you see in
Step 1.

STEP 1 Tying this knot, you follow the steps described in the Double
Overhand Knot (see previous), adding an extra loop at the end.
