I wanted to share a knot with you that my Dad taught me years ago. It's simple and very versatile and can be used to tie stuff down with, to help pitch a makeshift tent, etc.
Since I'm a hands on kinda guy, I wanted to show you one thing (of a million) that you can use this knot for and basically show you how I make my own *REUSABLE* trot lines using it.
I have no idea what the knot is called, but it's as simple as any knot I know, and won't come untied. The string/twine/rope itself will break before the knot itself fails.

And yes, it does work
