My favorite knot is the Zeppelin Bend: [1]
It's used to tie the ends of two ropes together.
It's super easy to tie, super easy to untie (when you want to), and will not untie accidentally.

- obloid 4y agoYes! the zeppelin bend is also my favorite knot. I probably don't use it as much as a bowline, but it comes in handy joining two lengths of rope, looks cool, and is always easy to untie no matter how much the knot has been loaded. Besides the bowline my most used knot is probably the trucker hitch. Carrick bend is another favorite of mine, but I prefer the zeppelin bend for real world usage.
- failTide 4y agoHah, same here. There's something really satisfying about it. Maybe it's the imagery of tying off a hydrogen airship.
- ZoomZoomZoom 4y ago> There's something really satisfying about it. You could even say there's something nice about it.
- jesterpm 4y agoHa, that is quite satisfying when it comes together. Maybe it's just from practice, but I think the sheet bend [1] is easier and faster to tie though. [1]: https://www.animatedknots.com/sheet-bend-knot https://www.animatedknots.com/sheet-bend-knot
- red_trumpet 4y agoMy favorite fact about the sheet bend is that it's essentially the same knot as the bowline knot [1]. [1] https://www.animatedknots.com/bowline-knot https://www.animatedknots.com/bowline-knot
- I_complete_me 4y agoI remember discovering this as a boy scout of around 14 and when I presented it to our scout leader, the look he gave me suggested that he was trying to decide whether to call the police or the psychiatric services. I've kept these things to myself ever since.
