@ aussieypride94, hey Bitch, im a fucking scout and i dont give a shit about any knots, i cant do any of em’
And i dont give a fuck, maybe like 100 years ago knots mattered when baden powell was around but now none of that crap matters.

The BSA teaches the “Overhand Noose” or the “Running Loop Knot” in Cub Scouts (refer to Bear Handbook for tying illustrations). I can only think of 4 other noose knots that would work about the same but would take more time and experience to tie.
NOTE: People who ask me to teach them how to tie the hangman’s noose, are ether just expanding their tying skills or looking for counseling. I hope you will find the type help you need.

Hmm where I’m from, “square knot” is referred to as a reef knot.
