Safety Disclaimer: ⚠️ Material Handling Only
The knots and techniques demonstrated on this site are intended strictly for material handling, wire pulling, and equipment securement. > Never use these hitches and knots for life safety, fall protection, or overhead lifting of loads where a failure could result in injury or death. Always use OSHA-compliant, load-rated hardware (harnesses, shackles, and slings) for critical lifts. Your safety team is there for a reason—consult them for high-risk tasks. Master the craft, stay out of pinch points, respect the load, and live to tie knots another day.
