I'm think we're all tied of these puns

Here's my favorites:

Perfection loop
Bowline / Yosemite bowline
Alpine butterfly
Trucker's hitch
Constrictor knot
Figure eight / follow throught
Sheet bend
Zeppelin bend
Double fisherman's knot
Scaffold/Poacher's knot
Stopper knot

This will either cure that problem, or cement it so thoroughly it'll become your new life. I wish you luck.

You should definitely avoid buying some paracord then, it's knot like they're sold in cheap smaller bundles (3/5m) with all flavours included so you can check which one you like most before going all in

I can not knot

My trick is if I want a different knot, I just add more loops that I stick things through. This probably isn't the ideal approach.

I actually gave it a once over with a lighter to stop the fraying.

do the trucker's hitch

Trucker's hitch. It also gives you 3:1 mechanical advantage and there's a self-locking version too.

Sounds like this inline truckers hitch.

You got a link and a description, I'll add a quick instruction.

Tie off the standing end, cross the space and around your close anchor. Stop. About 1/3 of the way across the gap(unless it's a very long span, then just a comfortable distance) make a loop. Best knot IMO here is a bowline on a bight, but I'm not explaining that here lol so tie a double overhand, the one you certainly know to make a loop. That will lock up but that's a problem for tomorrow. Now, pass the working end that's gone around the anchor through the loop, and back towards the anchor. Pull on that shit! You have as much room as you left to the loop to draw right with. I usually go back around the anchor and finish with a double fisherman's, while controversial, I like the ability to slide the locking knot loose, and am comfortable with friction holding it.

When installing something for a customer, yes.

It just looks like a square knot to me. What is the difference?

Edit. I took the 30 seconds to look it up.

Square knot is a reef knot.

I always knew it as:

"Right over left and under, then left over right and under." 🤷

But my experience with some ropes is that the action of loading and unloading or otherwise jostling the knot can cause it to come loose.

That is why I used this rather than the reef knot. This wont come undone when not under constant tension.

If you need extra security it's often better to tie a stopper knot in the ends of the lines rather than tying them together.
