Solutions are dependent upon facts & circumstances, law and the objectives.  These elements vary from one time to another, from one circumstance to another and from from person or entity to another

Overhand Knot & Figure of Eight Knot

Overhand Knot
(Fig 1)

Used at the end of ropes to prevent their unraveling and as the commencement of other knots. 

 

 

Figure of Eight Knot
(Fig 2)

Used only to prevent ropes from unraveling; it forms a large knob.

Bowlines 

To make a Bowline Knot:

Lay the end a of a rope over the standing part b. Form with 6 a bight c over a. Take a round behind b and down through the bight c. This is a most useful knot employed to form a loop which will not slip. Running bowlines are formed by making a bowline round its own standing part above b. It is the most common and convenient temporary running noose.

Two Half Hitches & Clove Hitch 

Two Half Hitches
(Fig 11)

This is the half hitch repeated; this is commonly used, and is capable of resisting to the full strength of the rope. A stop from a to the standing part will prevent it jamming.

Clove Hitch
(Fig 12 & 13)

Pass the end a round a spar and cross it over b. Pass it round the spar again and put the end a through the second bight.
