Knots

Easiest water bottle sling[4]

1. Get ~10 feet of rope or longer.
2. On the end farthest from the bend, tie a double prussik knot[6] and pull it taught.
3. Take the small inner loop of the prussik and turn it 180 degrees to form a loop. Put the loose ends through the loop and pull tight.
4. At this point you can tie a bend on the other ends to make a shoulder sling (I usually do a butterfly bend[5]).
