Had a friend come over tonight, and he asked me to help him with a couple knots to help him tie down loads. I was a little disappointed in myself that I never bothered to learn the trucker's hitch, which is probably the ideal, but I did show him 4 or 5 of the knots from that knot challenge a couple months ago that should help.
I teach people knots pretty regularly. Usually one of my students when they finish something early and get bored. The point of this is less about knots in general, and more that everyone should have a skill that you can teach people in five minutes or so. It's fun for them (hopefully you too), impressive, and if you do it enough someone, someday will actually use it. You don't have to give them a lot, just one or two basic points that can get them started. They can always look up or come for more. That's your goal this week, non-existent blog audience. Go teach someone how to tie a knot or polish their silverware or hyper-efficiently clean a litter box, or whatever it is your know how to do.
