What's a good way to tie up someone?

Answer 1

There are two levels to this question. The first is the materials used in this process. The answer on that is pretty much anything that you can wrap around someone to the point that they cannot unwrap it without special tools. Rope would probably be the most obvious, with the knots out of reach from the hands. Similarly, scarves have the same capacity. There are dedicated restraints, such as handcuffs, leg irons, etc. One could use something like zipper ties that can be opened only with a cutting device (police use these where large numbers are restrained). There are even non-traditional materials, such as plastic wrap, which if applied properly can be effective as a restraining tool.

The second level is the form of binding. That mostly depends on the circumstance and the tools available. For example, with handcuffs, they can really only be used around the wrists, or possibly small ankles.

If you are looking at restraining someone against their will (such as a burglar that you've caught breaking into your house; I wouldn't recommend anything criminal), you will want something that is fairly immoblising. A very easy to apply format would be to bind their wrists behind their back, then bind the ankles together, then connect the two bindings together to form a hog-tie. It shouldn't be used for very long as there is a risk of positional asphyxia, but it should be sufficient until the constables arrive.

For voluntary "victims", it would depend on how much they would permit. Some will only go as far as having one wrist cuffed to a bedpost. Some will allow a great deal of latitude, such as the hog-tie described earlier.

Wrapping someone with rope works pretty well, but care has to be used as certain pressure points will react unfavourably with rope knots. There are several books on the subject that deal with rope bondage, as well as a few online resources.

As always, the form and equipment used will depend on what your intent is. If you have a willing subject, I would suggest determining what they will permit and are in the mood for, then work from that.

Answer 2

Put them on a chair. Tie their hands together. Tie a rope around their whole waist and to the chair. Tie their legs to the chair. Take some plastic wrapping and wrap them all around the chair and them. take duct tape and do the same thing. Tie the rope around their waist again. TADAH!!!

Answer 3

Use telephone cord (not the stretchy cord)...Are you wanting to tie them to a bed or chair?...if to a bed...get a 50 -100ft length of cord and tie one hand then tie that hand to one bed post...then bring the cord around the head of the bed...tie the other hand...tie that hand to the corresponding bed post...then move to the feet...tieing the one foot first...then to the bed post, wrapping the cord around the foot board...next, is the other foot to the corresponding bed post...then have your way with your partner.lol

Answer 4

Best way without any skills in tying a knot is to use duct tape, you will be surprised all the many uses of duct tape.

Answer 5

and how is this a Home and Garden question???

cheapest way- duct tape

quickest, securest way- handcuffs

softest, friendliest way- scarves or bandannas

And, remember, even if your knots are no good, if you just keep wrapping rope around them until you run out, it will be hard for them to get out of it.
