I'm sure many people know this one, but here goes anyway (by the way this is great for tying down loads of hay): 1. Tie the rope off on one side, and run it over to where it is going to be tied off on the other side. 2. Make a figure 8 loop in the rope about 3 feet above where it is going to be tied off. 3. Run the end of the rope around a bar or something, and send it through the loop. 4. Pull down on the rope until it is tight, and then tie it off with a clove hitch This series of knots will get the rope as tight a a ratchet strap! Also, a retrieval is a really cool knot (but it is hard to explain): 1. Double the rope, so both ends are together. 2. Run it around a post (or something like that), so that the smooth end is a few inches past the post (and right beside the rest of the rope). 3. Next, take one line of rope and run it through the loop you have made, and in doing so, create another loop. 4. Now, when the second loop is made, run the other strand (not the one used on the previous loop) through the second loop to create a third. 5. Continue in this fashion till the pattern continues for a few inches. This knot will allow you to pull on one end and keep it tight, and, whenever you are ready to untie, simply saw back and forth on the strands!
