Silver Arrow - Outdoor Scouting - Knotting

Updated: Jan 18, 2022

Task : Learn how to ties at least two knots and state their uses.


I have learnt how to tie the reef knot and double figure 8 knot.


The reef knot is used to tie two ropes together. It can also be used to tie the end of a triangular bandage.


These are the steps to tie a reef knot.

These are the steps to tie double figure 8 knot.




The double figure 8 knot, is used as a stopper knot which is used to secure the end of a rope. They are often used to prevent hauling or rock-climbing ropes from slipping through a narrow hole, retaining device, or carabiner


Here is a video of me tying the reef knot here and a double figure 8 knot here.
