If you only ever learn 5 knots, learn:
The taut-line hitch
The prusik
The double dragon loop
The Portugese bowline
The Evenk hitch

You want to drive a lifted truck with a Punisher decal? You need to tie a Prusik to qualify for the loan.

*obligatory gravelly voiceover*

"When things get out of control... he brings order.
When there's danger, he chops it down to size.

He is ...

THE TREE SURGEON !"

*man halfway up an old oak in a Prusik loop and hard hat revs a hedge strimmer*

Earlier this week, a little workout and procrastination of semester prep to practice tree climbing with different MRS techniques.

How bad is the procrastination? Today I'm cleaning my office.

no prusik, no problem—well, except for your shoulders. glad they held up.

I’ve crossed a river using a Tyrolean traverse but did not have the benefit of a safety prusik.

Liest man über die Kunst des Knüpfens, Legens und Stechens, stößt man auf so manchen Schatz: Altweiberknoten, Highwayman’s hitch, Räuberstek, Trompetenstich, Was-Nicht-Alles-Knoten – einfach wunderbar! Welche Knoten ihr auf Fels- und Hochtouren beherrschen solltet, lest ihr hier.

Eiga hengekøye til boksen? Eg berre nevner det…

Got lucky and won a permit to go backpacking in the Enchantments 🏔️

One of the hardest hikes I’ve ever done, but more than worth it to spend three nights in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been.

Ihr wollt wissen wie man sich dazu motiviert sich täglich an den Schreibtisch zu setzen und kreativ zu arbeiten?

Dann seid Ihr bei meinem Vortrag am Sonntag auf den Texttagen Nürnberg genau richtig!

Tengo 71 años. No subo una pendiente 9/12 sin amarrarme. El truco es un nudo Prusik. Sube conmigo y muerde cuando me recuesto. Me apoyo y tengo las dos manos libres para la atornilladora. Últimos tornillos de este lado, listos. #techodemetal #seguridadentechos

I'm 71. I don't free-climb a 9/12 pitch. The trick is a Prusik knot on the rope. It slides up with me, then bites when I lean back. I lay against it and both hands are free for the gun. Last screws on this side, done. #metalroofing #roofsafety

Prusik. Yeah I was up there in the early ‘90s and goats came through our camp in the very early morning, woke us up. Did not through hike the Enchantments until I guess 2004 or 5.

é um prazer informar-lhes que peguei 1m de paracord e transformei num arranjo prático de 15cm de comprimento e 3cm de diâmetro que se desfaz com apenas 2 movimentos, retornando ao seu útil formato de cordinha.

cansei de pensar pensamentos.

(bonus: aprendi o nó prusik também. muito bom, gostei.)
