Water Knot
(Also Known As: Tape Knot,
Double Overhand Bend)
Uses:
Primarily used to join flat tape or webbing.
Instructions:1) Take the working
end of one rope and form an overhand
knot. 2) Take the working end of the second rope
and, starting from the end of the first rope, follow the first rope
into the overhand knot. You are about to "double" the
knot. 3) Continue to follow the path of the original
rope with the second working end. You must make sure that the second
rope does not cross over the first. 4) Tighten the
knot by pulling on the ropes at either end. Make sure the knot is
worked into shape and that one rope does not slip over the other.
Notes: To make sure the knot is secure, keep
the second tape/rope on the same side of the first tape/rope as the
knot is doubled.
