Knots for Camp
(Whipping rope end before tying to prevent unraveling)

Make a loop oftwine and place at the end of the rope. Wrap twine tightly around the rope, starting 1/4 inch from rope end.
When whipping is as wide as the rope is thick, pull out ends hard. Trim off twine close to whipping.

For another method of whipping, see the sailmaker's whipping in the Fieldbook.
