The circle bundle is a knot used to connect two bars that are perpendicular to each other.

Prerequisites: Mast throw, Samaritan

The sheet hitch is a suitable knot to connect unequal thicknesses. It is related to the Samaritan and the bowline.

The mast throw is a knot that can be used to tie a rope to a post, branch or, originally from seafaring, to a mast. There are two ways to tie it. Either you tie it and place it over the mast, or you tie it directly around the mast.

Advantages:
The knot is very simple and still holds very well. It is easy to untie again.

Disadvantages:
It is not very suitable for trees and the like, as the trunk is sometimes too big and therefore a lot of rope is needed and the knot can fall apart without an additional safety button.
