15 Slip Knot- Form a loop in the end of the rope
Slip Knot- Form a loop in the end of the rope. Prepare a bight in the short end. Tuck the bight through the loop and tighten. The knot can be used as temporary stopper knot. Theoretically, the knot can then be quickly untied by pulling on the free end to release the bight. The Slip Knot

16 Noose Knot- Form a loop in the end of the rope
Noose Knot- Form a loop in the end of the rope. Tuck a bight of the standing end through the loop. Make the bight larger and pass it around the object. Pull on the standing end to tighten the noose. It is been used as a snare to catch small animals in survival situations. It should never be tight round someone's neck. The knot can bind and critically restrict blood flow.

17 Daisy Chain- used to coil your rope to shorten it and prevent it from getting tangled
Structure: Tie a Slip Knot in the rope; tuck a bight into the loop; and repeat. Complete the chain by feeding the end through the final bight. The chain is released by withdrawing the end. Make another loop and tuck it into the previous loop. Keep repeating. When the chain is long enough, lock it by passing the end through the final loop. The Daisy Chain
