The fisherman’s knot is a simple way of attaching two pieces of cordage to one another.

1. Take one end of the paracord and tie an overhand knot around the second piece of paracord. Tie an overhand knot in the same fashion with the other cord. Pull the two lengths of paracord away from each other to bring the knots together. It will help to tighten the first knot when it is made. The picture above is for demonstration purposes.

2. Since these are simple overhand knots, leave a little bit of paracord outside of the knot. This keeps it from coming undone.

PARA-TIP: Which End Is Which?

When learning knots, there are two terms that come up often that you should be familiar with: the standing end, and the working end. The standing end is the length of rope that is tied to an anchor, or bearing a load. This is typically the longer length of the rope. The working end is the end of the rope that is being used to tie a knot, or being worked with. It is typically the shorter length of the rope.
