    Extra points if you are on the rope while taking a pic of the knot keeping you from dying.

    I can barely tie my shoe laces !! OK... in fairness I use to regularly use a bowline and could tie one in the dark if needed along with something that is just a mess of twists/turns/loops/hitches....add enough and it generally wont come undone....not ever..... as in cut that sucker loose....

    Cheated a lot with Wisdoms guides. In a short period of time you will lose your knot knowledge.

    That rope looks familiar.m, and you are correct, if you don’t use them regularly you will forget them.

    I tie my shoes with the bunny ear method.

    Wife does some other style that can only be described as witchcraft. Bunny jumps through a hole or something.

    She blames my simplicity on my left-handedness.

    Heh, thanks gents.

    I have to admit, this challenge reignited my desire to learn new knots. Been practicing regularly with a short hank of 550 on my desk.
