Versatackle Knot
A versatackle is a way of simulating a block and tackle without actual pulleys or deadeyes. It consists of two loops with the rope passed back and forth between them. It is functionally similar to the Truckers Hitch, however, unlike the Truckers Hitch, the versatackle is self-locking under tension.
The pressure, friction, and heat that may be generated by the running end moving through the loops can accelerate wear at the loops.

Famous quotes containing the word knot:
“Separation’s fire
can be borne
when there’s a knot of hope,
but Mother,
when my love leaves home
and stays in the same village,
it’s far worse than death.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
