One of the most important knots you’ll ever need to know, whether it’s climbing, sailing, camping or even towing a car.
Will be sure to remember this the next time I’m tying up my boat!:@)
Next week’s Wisdom – Careful Steve it looks as though someone has ‘given you enough rope….’ to do somthing terminal! Good to see your technique for reducing the danger here. No harm ever came from giving somebody a short rope my friend.
Handy tip Steve – now if I can just remember it when I need it!
Steve If you pull the middle line the sheep shank simply pulls out . You can do this even when the rope is under load . Regards David
Steve,
It’s also a useful knot for hobbling your horse, sheep or kids. Just slip one leg through each loop and pull tight.
Enjoy

Nice little trick, beautifully explained as always. Now we just need the boat……
Ahoy Captain! Your knowledge on everything and anything keeps on surprising me! When will you have your own show on TV? It’s about time! Cheers,
