Backup Knot


	Backup Knot Climbers often add a “backup knot” to their primary knot for additional security. The purpose of the backup knot is to avoid the primary knot from untying itself. This version is simply one side of a Double Fisherman's tied with a long tag end (fifteen to eighteen inches) of the primary knot.

Sorry, no animation of the Backup Knot at this time..

	Don’t forget your knot cards! Animations are the best way to learn to tie a knot but sooner or later you’ll need a printed reference. Why settle for knots printed on paper or bulky books - stash a set of Knot Cards where they’ll be handy when you need them! Check out all of our Knot Cards in the “Knot Card” section.
