What knot will tighten but not loosen?

The constrictor knot is one of the most effective binding knots. Simple and secure, it is a harsh knot that can be difficult or impossible to untie once tightened. It is made similarly to a clove hitch but with one end passed under the other, forming an overhand knot under a riding turn.

What knot tightens on itself?

The bowline is probably the most common way to create a loop in a rope. The advantage of a bowline is that as tension is applied to the rope, the knot tightens on itself without weakening the actual rope, slipping, or binding.
