community, we love our terms and acronyms. In fact, we made a post covering the whole <a href=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/glossary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"glossary (opens in a new tab)\">glossary<\/a>. In the case of working with paracord, there are some terms to be familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the terms and definitions involved in the paracord world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Hitches<\/strong> &#8211; These knots are designed for tying and securing a line to an object.<\/li><li><strong>Bends<\/strong> &#8211; When you need to tie two lines of rope together, a bend knot is used.<\/li><li><strong>Loops<\/strong> &#8211; Loop knots are used for when you need to use a loop to secure around an object.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common question that I see is, why is it called 550 cord?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term 550 paracord, or parachute cord, originated in World War 2. It&#8217;s the name of the cord that was used for the soldier&#8217;s parachutes. The number 550 represents the minimum breaking strength of the cord. So it&#8217;s very strong and durable cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_Knot_Knowledge\"><\/span>Importance of Knot Knowledge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing why it&#8217;s important to learn how to tie knots with paracord is just as important as doing them. Not knowing when a specific scenario calls for an easy knot would prevent you from using it in the first place.&nbsp;Not to mention the dozens of different <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"paracord projects (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/paracord-projects-preppers\/\" target=\"_blank\">paracord projects<\/a> you could have fun with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the different survival skills to learn, these will make you more self-reliant than most others. Nearly every activity you can do outside will become much easier and safer after you learn how to use parachute cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Knots_For_Beginners\"><\/span>Simple Knots For Beginners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to tie simple paracord hitches is a great way to start since there are only a few and are easy to tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hitches are useful to use when camping. They&#8217;re perfect for securing your tents to the ground. The primary function of hitches is for securing objects to make them more stable and strong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some hitches also fall into a family of knots called binding hitches. Binding hitches are primarily used for binding objects to each other, securing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the most important hitches for beginners to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supplies\"><\/span>Supplies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to practice your tying skills as a DIY survivalist, it&#8217;s ideal to have a screw-hole and a piece of PVC pipe. It doesn&#8217;t have to be a long piece, any length over 6 inches will do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_Half-Hitches\"><\/span>Two Half-Hitches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The two half-hitches are one of the binding hitches I mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, this paracord hitch is so important, we created an entirely separate post you can go to on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"how to tie a two half-hitches knot (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/how-to-tie-two-half-hitches-knot\/\" target=\"_blank\">how to tie a two half-hitches knot<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slippery_Hitch\"><\/span>Slippery Hitch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thesurvivaljournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Slippery-Hitch-knot.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Slippery Hitch Knot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, it&#8217;s very easy to untie.
