Step 1
Tie a bottle sling in the bight so you do not need either end. You will end with a long loop of rope on one side of the bottle and the two ends of rope on the other, giving a total of four lengths of rope with which to suspend the bottle.
-
Step 2
Make a long bight of rope and fold it back onto itself to produce two separate loops. Place one of these loops over the other so that they partially overlap.
-
Step 3
Position the loops so that the rope forms four distinct areas. Call the area enclosed only by the top loop area A, the area enclosed only by the bottom loop is area B, the intersection of both loops is area C and the area that is not enclosed by either loop is area D.
-
Step 4
Put the thumb and forefinger of one hand down through area A, up through area C and down through area B. Pinch the length of rope forming the bottom portion of area D and pull it all the way through the loops of rope.
-
Step 5
Flip the two loops of ropes formed in Step 2 over the length of rope you pinched in Step 4. Slip the neck of the bottle through the center of this knot. Carefully pull the ends of the rope in one hand against the loop on the other side of the bottle to tighten the bottle sling.
