Usage
The Double Constrictor is a more secure version of the Constrictor Knot and can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. The Double Constrictor is appropriate for situations where secure temporary or semi-permanent binding is needed. For example, it can be used as a temporary whipping to keep the end of a rope from unraveling or securing a bundle of sticks or poles.

Structure
The Constrictor Knot is made similarly to a
Clove Hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn. The Double Constrictor is an even more robust variation that features two riding turns.
Strength/Reliability
The Constrictor and Double Constrictor are both extremely secure when tied tightly around convex objects with cord scaled for the task at hand.
