Water Knot
WATER KNOT

One of the few knots that works in flat webbing. Useful for tying the ends of webbing together to make loops and slings. It is also commonly used in paddling whitewater, connecting webbings to make it longer.

After you trace the other end through the first overhand knot, pinch the webbings before you pull it tight, this will make this know stronger. To untie, bsaically rewind each step you just did, pinch the webbing on both of the knot and twist the knot a few times.
