4. Make sure to continuously straighten lines as you go.
5. After making three passes, this is what the knot should look like. Be sure to snug this up as much as possible.
6. This is what the Prusik knot with the loop will look like when completed.
Bowlines
Bowlines make effective nonslipping loops at the end of a line. These can be used for rescuing someone or any other purpose where a fixed loop is needed. Remember that paracord should not be used as climbing rope unless it’s an emergency situation.
1. Shape the cord like the letter “e.”
2. Pass the working end up through the loop and under the standing end as shown. Be sure to hold the cut end where you want it so it doesn’t become too long after everything has been tightened.
3. Pass the working end back down through the loop. Then hold the bottom loop and the cut end of the paracord in one hand while pulling the top single piece of paracord with your other hand to tighten the knot.
4. The finished bowline. The fixed loop can be made to any size desired.
Running Bowline
In order to make a running bowline, first follow the steps to make a bowline (here). The long end of the paracord is then passed through the loop.
1. You will need to practice making the bowline before attempting different versions of it.
2. The bowline can now “run” along the main length of the paracord, creating a larger loop.
Triple Bowline
The steps in tying a triple bowline are almost the same as tying a regular bowline (see here). However, to start you will need to double over the paracord. The end result will produce three loops instead of one. This can be helpful for raising or lowering multiple items of gear.
1. Because the paracord is being doubled over, you will need more of it to begin with.
2. Bring the bottom loop up through the top loop.
3. Place the top loop behind the main body of the paracord.
4. Bring the loop down and through the middle loop. As this loop is brought through, hold onto the bottom loop as you tighten the knot. In the final step, you will see why this is important.
5. By holding onto all of the loops as you tighten the knot, you should end up with three loops of similar size. This may take a little practice to get just right.
Honda Knot
While you may not be familiar with how to make the Honda knot, I can almost guarantee you have seen it in action. This is the knot that is used to create an adjustable loop, like that used for a lasso.
1. Make an overhand knot toward the end of the paracord.
2. Make a small loop by passing the end of the paracord back over the main cord.
3. Push the cut end of the paracord through the backside of the loop.
4. Hold onto the loop you just pushed through with one hand, and in the other hand, hold onto the overhand knot end of the paracord. Pull the loop all of the way through to tighten the paracord onto itself.
5. The final step is very similar to the final step in the Running Bowline (here). Pass the longer end of the paracord through the loop, and you will now have an adjustable loop.
6. In step 5, the loop that is shown around the main body of the paracord is quite large. I did that for demonstration purposes. Generally, however, I make that loop much smaller. The above picture is more accurate.
Reef Knot
The reef knot, or the square knot, is used when you want to join two pieces of cordage of the same diameter. Other than the overhand knot, this is probably one of the most well-known knots. I use this knot often, and I think everyone should know it, as it is very simple to make.
1. The first step is to take the ends of two pieces of paracord and lay them over one another so that they form an X. Next take one of the working ends and go over and under the opposite cord so that it looks like the picture above.
