This selection of knots was suggested by Greg Felton who requested a section devoted to Search and Rescue (SAR). The knots can be selected from the index on the left, or by their pictures above, or from a page which describes their various uses.
The emphasis for SAR knots is on reliability and safety. It is also desirable that each knot can be untied reasonably easily.
I initially supposed that this selection would just be a subset of the climbing page. However, Greg introduced me to the Tensionless Hitch as well as the Emergency Webbing Harness and I decided a page devoted to SAR would be useful.
Disclaimer: Activities involving ropes are potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. For this reason no responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.
