Just curious about what Knots you use for your Camping Backpacking needs. My primary knots are the Constrictor or Millers Knot, Bowline/Bowline on a Bight, Moring Hitch, Truckers Hitch, Rolling or Taut Line Hitch, and a occasional Anchor and Clove Hitch. Just curious to see how you guys use your ropes for your camping.

I use the Trucker's Hitch a lot when pitching a tarp. I also use the Prussic Knot and Tension Knot (may be aka Taut Line Hitch).

Yea UL the Taut line Hitch is actually a rolling hitch. Just called a Taut line hitch when you tie it the Boy Scouts Way lol.
