slipknot

A slipknot is a type of knot that can be easily tightened or loosened with a tug. It involves creating a loop with the rope or cord, which then slips or slides along the main strand when pulled. Slipknots are useful in many situations, such as securing objects temporarily, adjusting the tension of a line, or setting up quick-release points. The key feature is that the knot remains stable under tension but can be quickly released by pulling in the right spot, making it a versatile and practical knot for various tasks.
