Do not, we repeat NOT, attempt to use the "Fisherman's knot" method. It's a known hazard
Never, under any circumstances, use a twine wrapped cable tie as a makeshift rope for anything other than actual rope.
Avoid getting caught in your own cable trap. Seriously, it's a real thing.
Don't be like the guy who accidentally electrocuted himself with a toaster.
Stay safe, and stay away from the Cable Serial Killer!
