I'm looking a knot that will 'grip' when pulled tightly.

For instance something that could pull tightly on holding a bunch of
garden canes or similar together.

The Scouts used to teach a simple knot that would do this, but I can no
longer find it. If i am remembering to tie it correctly, when i use it
on the now commonly available rope 'Polypropylene' it will not hold as
this type of rope is 'slippery'.

Grateful for any pointers to a site that might show how to tie such a
useful knot. Thanks.

Scaffold Hitch is the name. I can't remember how to tie one but I'm sure
Youtube will help.

As for use with modern ropes, I don't know. My Scouting was done near on
50 years back when old fashioned ropes were still common.

Hmm, I am looking for a word description of knots. The problem with videos
is that since losing my sight I have no idea what is going on. I can see it
now, when you tie up the burglar he dies of loss of blood supply cos the
knots self tightened too much!
Anyway, I wanted to re register all my dlls in windows. it should be
possible, right? However there only seem to be videos on it with things like
use the exact syntax as I have typed here, or as you can see there are now
backups of all the files here, just in case.
Sorry mr video man, blindies use computers too you know if you cannot
string enough words together to explain what you are doing go away!

Nope, much better ways of tying them up.

Have fun with that.

supply cos the knots self tightened too much!

That’s why you don’t use those to tie up burglars.

Anyway, I wanted to re register all my dlls in windows. it should be
possible, right?

Why do you need to do that ?

However there only seem to be videos on it with things like use the exact

Makes more sense to image the system drive.

No thanks, video makes much more sense for non blind people.

I suspect there are other knots and different names for the same knot.

The one I, half, remembered was the Scaffold Hitch.
