Stock panel ATV hauling note
There's one thing I would've
done different on the stock
panel ATV hauling.
Attaching the top part of the
panels to the ATV would've been easier and faster with a few sections
of small chain with a leash latch for quick connecting.
The problem with using rope
was the high pressure. It took extra effort to untie each section when
the knot gets that tight.

If you don't know knots, tie lots
Try tying a bowline, it will untie easily even after a heavy load. It's a common knot in the trades, second only to "multiple overhands"

Knots
Like the other commented said, bowline works well, so does a figure 8 and a variety of other knots. I think the figure 8 is faster than a bowline.

Both Knots Good
I would say that both the bowline and 8 are good knots to use, but the 8 is better for climbing as it retains 80% of the ropes strength. The bowline retains around 65% strength but is better for this application since it is easier to untie after being loaded.
