OK guys list your top five knots, here are mine in no particular order

1: Truckers Dolly
2: Constrictor
3: Icicle Hitch
4: Midshipmans Hitch (A must know for all campers)
5: True Lovers Knot
 
1. tautline (midshipman's) hitch... awesome!
2. clove hitch
3. figure 8.... much more secure than a bowline
4. truckers hitch
5. double half hitch
 
Damn, I thought I had got this out of my system with the last book I bought. Now I find a site with some very nice lanyard knots and most of my knives have lanyard holes and I have 100' of cord coming from REI! :footinmou

Curses! :D

Temper,

Do you have a link for the lanyard info you found?

Thanks!
 
Top 5 favorite knots:

Bowline
Figure 8
Palomar
Clove hitch
Bow (like your shoe laces)
 
Hard to choose just five, I'll pick some that I use a lot, just simple and useful knots, I'll avoid decorative knots, and feel bad for leaving out the figure eight.

Square
Midshipman
Fisherman
Bowline
Clove hitch
