Notes and Resources:
This quick trick lets you easily find the center of a rope again when you've untied it, but not coiled it immediately. I make a habit of doing this every time I finish untying a rope, before setting it down.
Most of my rope kits have four different lengths of rope, so I'll sometimes vary the center-keeping knot that I use to help me keep track of which are which if I'm going to re-use them in the same scene. I use the slipped overhand shown above for the rope length I use most, and a non-slipped overhand, figure 8, and slipped figure 8 for the other three.
Awesome tip!

Brilliant. It's just a single link of a daisy chain, which I love making so I got this tie down.

This is the same video as on the previous page. Is it supposed to be a different video? The caption suggests it will be a video showing three different knots from the Slipped Overhand Knot that is shown in this video (e.g., non-slipped overhand, figure 8, and slipped figure 8).

Sorry, there's just the one video. I'll add a link for a figure-8 knot, although if you don't already know it, it might not be worth learning just for this purpose.

This confused me too. I'd suggest condensing them to one page.
