My favorite knots: ** adjustable grip hitch an easy to tie and very reliable noose-type knot for when you need to adjust frequently ** zepplin bend a very reliable way of joining ropes that's also easy to tie and untie (but won't slip apart on its own) ** double constrictor knot grips anything you tie it around **very tightly**, exceptionally secure ** icicle hitch when you know the direction of pull is going to be mostly parallel to what you're tying your rope to, then this knot grips even tighter than the double constrictor. useful for when hanging something from a vertical, slippery cylinder (hence the name) ** ashley stopper knot a bulky knot useful for when you don't want the end of your rope to slip out ** alpine butterfly an easy and secure way to tie a loop in the bight
