I'm practicing the anchor knot but every one I do the end keeps slipping out when I put any pressure on it. I'm using a 12mm braided polypropylene rope. Can someone help with how I can stop this ?
I've tried different types of knots including the recommend bowline knot

This isn't an advice but I would say a "Double-Eight-Knot" around the anchor point won't loosen.

The anchor point I'm using is a tree branch. I'll need a knot to tie around the branch double figure 8 knot needs to be clipped onto something if I'm correct

Have you check out this thread?


You should be able to do it around the branch of a tree with a double figure-eight knot.

You can throw the rope with a double figure-eight knot over the branch and use the loop of the knot as an eyelet for the other end of the rope.

BowLine Knot

1. In the standing line create a bend or loop far back from the line end. It helps forming the knot by laying the loop parallel to the standing line, with the line end coming under the bend formed in the standing line.

2. Now place the bend or loop over the standing line and pull the standing line through the loop several inches, forming another bend or loop.

3. Now insert the line end through the loop just formed, then back over itself.

4. Hold the line end and the bottom line of the loop, while slowly pulling on the standing line. Read our full guide on how to tie a bowline knot here.
