Default knots that'll stay tied using poly rope ?

What is the best knot that not only will stay tied but is easy to untie
and where can I find an example of how to tie it, please ?

Thank you,
Courtney


The most comprehensive book you'll ever find on the subject is "Encyclopedia
of Knots and Fancy Rope Work" by Graumont. Easier to follow for the average
bear is "Ashley's Book of Knots." Hervey Garrett Smith's "Marlinspike
Sailor" is also very good, and I would list all three as essential for any
ship's library.
