Back in Boy Scouts, I learned a similar knot called the "Highwayman's Hitch." (Lots of examples on YouTube.) A bit easier and faster to tie than this one, but maybe not quite as secure. It's generally agreed to be an urban legend now, but the association with "highwayman" (an old synonym for robbers) supposedly came from their using it to securely tie their horses to a post or rail and still be able to make a quick getaway. There's a good article on Wikipedia (where else).
How am I supposed to remember this?
get a rope and practice, practice, practice.Originally Posted by Ralphxyz

When I have to paint I use KBS products
I love knots, been using for more years than i care to remember.
Frank's right: "you" don't remember how to tie knots - your hands do.
