Multiple changes have been made to the ScoutWiki platform to enhance the performance of the wikis. This includes bot protection features that require validation of some heavy requests. If you notice any problems in your use, please let us know as soon as possible at support@scoutwiki.org and we will try to solve them.
Binding (knot)
From ScoutWiki, For Everyone, Everywhere involved with Scouting and Guiding...
The binding knot may possess either of two possible fundamental mechanical properties by which they function:
- Friction Type: These binding knots pass at least once around a load and are held in place by the friction caused between the windings of the line that pass over top of other winding.
- Knotted Ends Type: These binding knots pass at least once around a load and are held in place by the two ends of the line being knotted together.
Binding knots may be used to bind an individual object or a load made of multiple loose objects.
Whipping and Seizing are classified differently from Binding knots since they contain many turns like a lashing despite serving a similar function to a Binding knot.
