Munter Mule The Munter Mule is designed as a locking structure of the Munter Friction Knot. It simply ensures that the Munter Friction Knot (or any hitch) doesn’t come undone at unexpected moments. It gains the name ‘Mule’ because of its ability to support great loads. About Rope Knots Regardless of your situation at some point in your life you’ll encounter a thread, cord or rope knot. Research records of archaeologist J Wymer shows records of knots as far back as 380,000 years ago! Some of these knots are as described, as used then, on this site.   Your life will be made easier and safer with some knowledge of how to tie a knot. This site holds over 250 different animated knots. That is more than most could be expected to reasonably use. However, the question still remains; for the situation you currently find yourself, which knot should you use? It is my hope that the animated illustrations provided on this site will assist and encourage you to extend your knot tying skills. Rope knots can basically be divided into the following groups: Bends    - Joining two lines by intertwining them, without splicing, or sewing. Hitches  - A knot that secures a rope or line to another object. Stopper  – Used to bind strands at the end of a rope to stop fraying or unraveling.            Also formed to stop a rope slipping through a hole or to provide a weight or handhold. Bindings – Much like hitches. They are used to bind either lines or objects together. Their aim is            to keep objects in place. Splices  – Describes the act of joining the ends, or the end and a standing part, of rope by            interweaving strands. They are not knots in themselves. Loops    – Loops create structures used to tie, or secure, another object or line to another line.            They can be formed at the end or midway a length of rope. Plaits   - Weaving several lines together to form a pattern and a cohesive structure. Miscellaneous & Decorative – Knots that have decorative, dress or multiple category            characteristics. The rope knot section of this site is set out with these groups firmly in mind. Good luck Andy
