To look forward

In any type of emergencies, learning basic first aid is one of the important things that we should learn. Based on your learning in basic first aid, can you recall the different safety measures that you need to consider in giving or applying first aid treatment on the following situations? Write your answers on your activity notebook. 

1. Bleeding wound in upper arm. 

2. A person who is not breathing and unconscious but with pulse. 

3. Nose bleeding. 

4. Snakebite. 

5. First degree burn. 

In survival, aside from learning basic first aid, safety is also one of the things that we need to consider. Like in essential camping, learning knot tying would be a great help to avoid accidents. With this, let us talk about the different basic knots that you need to learn. 

Introduction

WHAT IS A KNOT? 

A knot is an intentional complication in cordage which may be useful or decorative. 

Practical knots may be classified as hitches, bends, or splices: a hitch fastens a rope to another object; a bend unites two rope ends; and a splice is a multi-strand bend or loop. (Wikipedia.org) 

A knot may also refer to a stopper or knob at the end of a rope to avoid that end from slipping through a grommet or eye. Knots have enthusiastic interest since age-old times for their workable purposes. (Wikipedia.org) 

There are variety of knots, each with properties that make it suited for an area of tasks. Some knots are used to link the rope (or other knotting material) to other objects such as another rope, cleat, ring, etc. Some knots are used to tie-up or compress objects. 

Decorative knots usually bind to themselves to produce interesting patterns. (wikipedia.org) 

Knot tying has different types. 

Here, we are going to talk about the 8 basic knots. 

1. Figure-eight knot The figure-eight knot or figure-of-eight knot is a type of stopper knot. It is very important in both sailing and rock climbing as a method of stopping ropes from running out of retaining devices. (Ekram, 2011)

2. Half Hitch It is basically an overhand knot with the working end brought over and under the standing part. (wikipedia.com)

3. Half-knot A knot intertwining the ends of two cords and used in tying other knots. (merriam-webster.com)

4. Noose Knot A noose is a loop at the end of a rope in which the knot tightens under load and can be loosened without untying the knot The knot can be used to secure a rope to a post or pole, but only where the end is in a position that the loop can be passed over. It is also known as Hangman’s Noose / Hangman’s Knot. (wikipedia.org) 

5. Overhand Knot The overhand knot, also known as a knot and half knot, is one of the most fundamental knots, and it forms the basis of many others, including the simple noose, overhand loop, angler's loop, reef knot, fisherman's knot, and water knot. (wikipedia.org.)

6. Sheet Bend The sheet bend is a bend. It is practical for joining lines of different diameter or rigidity. It is quick and easy to tie and is considered so essential it is the first knot given in the Ashley Book of Knots. (wikipedia.org)

7. Slip Knot The slip knot is a stopper knot which is easily undone by pulling the tail. The slip knot is related to the running knot, which will release when the standing end is pulled.

8.The Reef Knot, or Square Knot It is an ancient and simple binding knot used to secure a rope or line around an object. It is sometimes also referred to as a Hercules knot. The knot is formed by tying a left-handed overhand knot and then a right-handed overhand knot, or vice versa.

WHY WE NEED TO LEARN KNOT TYING? 

1. Survival Skills It will be obvious which one will you choose between a wonderful weekend in the wild, and a trip to the emergency room. Knowing how to lengthen your ropes by tying a square knot, or creating a rugged bowline knot to protect other lines will give parents and caregivers peace of mind in knowing that everyone on the adventure are safe. 

2. Hand-Eye Coordination Learning to tie knots, increased hand-eye coordination skills, and developed motor skills. Tying knots can also help children with slow development in motor skills or motor skill challenges to grow stronger and more confident in their abilities. 

 3. Challenges the Brain to Think in New Ways. Learning to tie knots challenges the brain to think in new ways and to make connections. The bilateral coordination and difficulty of the more complicated knots fires up multiple areas of the brain at once, as well as increasing the need to focus on the task at hand. Knots have also been used for art and design works for thousands of years. 

 4. Daily Life Use Knots are widely used in daily life, though, and are depended on by campers and hikers, mountaineers, fishermen, and weavers, among others, or even by a person tying a shoelace or a package. 

5. Problem Solving Skills Everything we need to know is something up on the internet. Not knowing to work it out if you can just type it out and it leads the learned skill of problem solving and critical thinking in desperate need of attention. Not to mention that when you use your hands and your brain together to physically tie or untie a knot ,it's far more likely to be stored in the brain and used it again for future situations.
