===== carabiners ===== * non-locker rope to things * locker people to things * HMS Carabiners for Munter Hitch ===== Rope ===== **=Rapunzels hair: in use, ready to use or stowed away** * rope to harness rewoven figure 8 * knot should look perfect and the loose end should fit in a fist * a longer end is annoying and can be tied of with a barrel knot, tieing a "Yosemite finish" (rope back through loop) is a questionable idea ==== Joining Ropes ==== * Double Fisherman joins ropes permanently * Triple Fisherman join spectra stuff (but using spectra cord sucks, so don't) * Double Overhand aka "European Death Knot"/EDK is the best knot to join ropes temporarily * Don't get stupidly creative like using a reef knot. A dobule sheet bend will probably work, but there is no reason to try * The same goes for a figure-8, a figure-8 similar to the EDK is **crazy dangerous**, a rewoven-8 will probably work but again, no reason to try //this is the exception to the rule “a figure 8 is generally better than the overhand”//
