Square knot: joining two ropes together to make a longer rope. Ropes must be the same type.
Bowline: a rescue "knot" that can be used to rescue a person that has fallen down into a crevice, hole, etc. Its a loop that goes around your chest/under your armpits that doesn't slide/slip. It can be tied with one hand with a little practice. taut line hitch: the camping knot, usefull for securing tie downs to tent stakes/trees/roots. It can be adjusted/slide and then set in position. Essentially two half hitches and a one half hitch in the other direction. two half hitches: essentially a poor mans slip knot. Good for securing something that needs to be tight or under constant tension. Its a base knot that is used in many other knots and hitches. |

It's most useful knots to know people who got warrants, 'cause then you won't be hit in the crossfire when the cops come for them.

It depends on the type of rope used. I use a figure 8 most of the time since I use synthetic rope the most. I also made a class 2 harness out of a double loop figure 8.

I have horses so I tend to tie quick release (cowboy knots according to some) a lot of the time. But a half hitch is a quick tie and stout knot I use a lot too.

My favorites are:
-Bowline -Alpine butterfly (good for making a loop in the middle of a line) -clove hitch -sheet bend (indispensable for net making) -taut line aka midshipman's bend -trucker hitch with a rarely used but sometimes useful carrick bend

Bowline
bowline and bowline. Inline figure 8 loop is super handy for a makeshift block and tackle move. Keeps something like 80% of line strength compared to some other knots. Mixed with a knicky's knot, these three make for a super easy way to secure cargo etc, and all are very easy to untie when you are finished. |

Bow knot - or how to tie your shoes.
Bowline and taut hitch are about all I use to secure loads, set guy lines, etc. Square or 8 for joining and stopping are next most common. Clove hitch for tying off bags, which occasionally comes up. Timber hitch for moving logs. Sheet bend for different sized ropes. Really depends on what you are trying to do as to what knots are the best. I pretty much exclusively use an improved clinch knot for all my fishing needs, but probably wouldn't if it didn't fit the kind of fishing I do. |

You can do everything with a combination of bowline knots. That being said, its pretty weak. It really depends on what type of cordage you are using. For most rope, half hitches, square knots, bowline, and truckers knots will get you buy. For small diameters, I think the uniknot and bimini twist are the best.
