>>1784860idk about favorite, there are too many good ones. However I used to be able to throw a cleat hitch with the lock.
>>1785050If you want simple yet elegant, try the artillery loop. Serves a similar function to the butterfly but quicker and imo much more clever.
Also have you learned the alpine butterfly *bend* as well as the knot? pretty fun variation.
>>1785057I bet you don't even know what a sheet bends for, stamp licker
>>1788966The girth hitch is used for other reasons, used to secure an object and pull with *both* ends of the line, clove hitch is more secure if you're pulling with one end. The prusik is a pretty niche knot, it's designed to slide along what it's tied to (in this case another line) and cinch when the working ends are pulled parallel to the stationary line. I prefer the klemheist as it locks and unlocks much better but it's unidirectional so they aren't interchangeable in all cases.
