I got into knot tying over the pandemic and it's pretty great stuff to know! Being able to tie down loads, moor a boat, hang a hammock, etc, using regular ass rope is a good skill to have!
My list of recommended knots:
1. End of line fixed loop: bowline (or double bowline for extra security).
2. Mid-line loop: butterfly.
3. Tying a down a load: truckers hitch, using a butterfly for the loop
4. Basic hitch: Buntline (or slipped buntline)
5: Hitch under tension: backhanded hitch
6: tying two ropes together: butterfly bend, or double sheet bend for different sized ropes
Cool to know but kind of impractical:
-tumble hitch (exploding hitch)
-constrictor knot
-blakes hitch
