A water knot is the all-purpose webbing knot. Knots for normal rope are ineffective and possibly dangerous in webbing, so this knot is essential for your repertoire.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Webbing
Step1
Tie a normal overhand (granny) knot, leaving at least a 6-inch tail. Make the webbing is flat, not twisted.
Step2
Insert the other end of the webbing where the tail comes out.
Step3
Follow the webbing around the knot.
Step4
Go back through the knot to the other side so you have tails sticking out both sides of the knot.

Tips & Warnings

  • You should have at least 6 inches of tail for this to be a safe knot.
