The noose says the same thing as the overhand

As a sailor, the overhand knot is mostly useful to know as a cautionary tale. If you tie one in the lines on my boat, I might throw you overboard. Never tie a plain overhand knot. It jams up under load, and is near-impossible to untie. It also weakens the rope by crushing the fibers.

Make a figure-8 if you need a stopper knot.

Text for the noose knot is just a repeat of the overhand knot. No bowline or clove hitch also means this is of less use.

Can’t tie a knot? Tie a lot.

That noose and slip knot are the same, and that’s a very poor way to illustrate a sheet bend

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines
