[TowerTalk] Knots

[Joe DeVincentis]

There's a great app for the Apple iOS and Android platforms called Knots 3D.  Gives a 3D rendering of how to tie a knot as well as information about strength, ability to untie, use, etc.    Website is knots3d.com.

For joining two ropes, I've used the Ashely bend.  Works great and has shown no slippage.

> On tying two ropes together, I would use TWO “improved clinch knots.” (My other hobby is bass fishing.)   My preference is Palomar knots, but that’s  not possible with long ropes.   On the clinch knots, tie the first one to make a small loop; and the second rope would go through the loop and tied with the same type knot.   Google “improved clinch Knots” to see how they are tied to fishing hooks, but you can improvise from there.   Very strong knots.
