    Knots and such for Canyoneering

    I'm thinking of working up a "Knots and such for Canyoneering"
    pamphlet. Here's my quick list of knots - wondering what other
    people's opinions are regarding:

    1. Webbing:

    End vs. Bight
    Overhand
    Ring Bend (Water Knot)
    Overhand on a Bight
    Choke using an overhand on a bight
    Wrapping a rock using a choke

    2. Rope:

    End vs. Bight
    Overhand vs. Figure 8 vs. Figure 9
    Offset Overhand Bend (with OOB backup)
    F8 on a bight
    F8 bunny ears (double figure 8)
    F9 on a bight
    Alpine Butterfly

    3. Hitches:

    Clove Hitch, regular, triple, on a carabiner
    Stone Knot (Stein Knot)
    Munter or Belay Hitch / Munter-Mule
    Tensionless Hitch
    Friction Hitches: Prusik, Autobloc, Kleinheist, Bachman
    Mariner's Hitch

    4. Esoterica

    Double Fisherman's
    Voodoo
    Beer Knot
    tying rope to webbing

    5. Basic Rigging

    Wrap Two, Pull One - etc.
    Two point anchors - self-equalizing; non-extending; equalized, non-
    extending.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a great idea Tom.

    That would be awesome. I can't think of any other knots, but then again I'm a noob. I carry a "pamphlet" of knots in my backpack with pictures just incase I forget how to tie one. I don't have that many in mine though.

    How much would they be? Can I pre-order
    The man thong is wrong.

    I think it's an awesome idea. A while ago I was kicking around the idea of posting a sticky thread that had many of the above knots, tied step-by-step.

    I think your list is pretty comprehensive, and if you published it I'd for sure purchase one.
    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.
