"The bowline knot is useful when you need a strong knot that won’t slip easily, but is still easy to untie after a load is applied. This knot is very popular in sailing, rock climbing, rescue, and other outdoor activities. When to use the bowline knot: 1. To secure the end of a rope to an object (such as a pole or hoop) without tightening when pulled. 2. To create a fixed loop that doesn’t change size. 3. In rescues or evacuations, because the loop is stable and won’t get caught in the body. 4. When lifting or pulling objects, this knot creates a strong grip."

"The clove hitch is used when you want to: 1. Quickly and temporarily tie the end of a rope to a pole, stick, or other cylindrical object. 2. Start or end a loop for various purposes such as setting up a tent, rowing, climbing, or when pioneering in scouting. 3. Make a knot that is easy to adjust or undo, especially if the rope will not bear a heavy load continuously. However, this knot is not ideal for holding heavy loads or continuous pulling because it can loosen. So, it is suitable for temporary use and needs to be double-checked if used in important conditions."


Bayu

Alpine Butterfly Bend

"The Alpine Butterly Bend knot, like other similar knots, distributes tension around a central pair of ends. This double thickness minimizes kinks and helps maintain strength. Indeed, this knot is commonly described as “one of the strongest.” However, some quoted breaking stresses are as low as 53% to 58% – similar to the breaking stresses for many other knots And because it can withstand the pressure between the ends or between the loop and one end well. In this version, the loop is absent and the pressure only occurs between the two ends. The Alpine Butterfly Bend is known for being strong and reliable. The great advantage of the Alpine Butterfly Bend is its similarity to the Alpine Butterfly Loop – which means only learning one widely trusted knot – and the knot is easy to untie even after heavy loads."
