How do you hogtie yourself?

Essentially, a "hogtie" is tying a person's ankles together, then tying their hands behind their back, and finally pulling the legs back as close to the wrists as possible and tying them to each other. I recommend cotton rope, 1/4" to 1/2" thick, or braided (not twisted) nylon rope of the same size.

Tie your ankles together, then tie rope around each wrist, leaving two or three feet of rope hanging. (Always wrap ropes around ankles and wrists at least three times to spread the pressure out.) Thread each rope through the wrapped rope around the other wrist -- don't tie it yet!

Pass the rope from one of your wrists between your ankles, then bend your legs back, pull the rope up and tie it to the rope around your other wrist. (I recommend a reef knot, also known as a square knot.) Of course, you will be able to get out of this, but at least you'll know what it feels like.

One warning: if the ropes around your wrists or ankles are too tight, you can cut of the circulation of blood to your hands or feet. If they start to tingle, feel numb, or feel colder than the rest of your body, loosen the rope. Enjoy!
