Good day Peter and welcome.

Exactly what are you sharing with us and would you elaborate?

Hi @Peter_kostov, I've moved your other new post back to this topic since it looks like they are the same kind of question.

Could you explain a bit more what information you are asking for here? It is not at all clear to me (and presumably @SS369 also)

There is a publication you [mention](https://discourse.igkt.net/t/what-is-the-name-of-the-knot-and-the-hitch/10167) called "Knot Tying: Seamanship: Knots, Bends, and Hitches 1973 Department of Defense" - what is the relevance of it to this topic?

The images appear to show a person bound using improvised cordage or fabric. The photos don't contain enough detail to enable anyone to identify the knot with confidence.

If English is not your first language may I suggest using Google Translate to convert from your native language.
