[QUOTE="old CB, post: 4931225, member: 67051"] Bowline, running bowline, timber hitch, clove hitch, and cat's paw (for grabbing a bight w/ comealong). For midline attachment I like the bowline on a bight--it takes a moment or two to learn, but it's a breeze to tie once you know it, and to untie, you throw that first loop back over and pull both ends free. Also, if you've ever loaded a bowline real heavy, then you know what it's like to spend 15 minutes w/ a screwdriver & pliers trying to bust it loose, cursing and trying not to hurt the rope w/ the screwdriver. Whenever I set a bowline that'll get heavy-loaded, I double the "rabbit-hole," and when you dress the knot make sure to leave a tiny bit of slack in the loop where the rabbit runs around the tree--that loop there is the key to breaking loose the knot after use.
