What are some essential knots that every outdoorsman should know how to tie and what are these knots best used for?

Bowline - Tying off a boat or making a good end loop in any rope.
Half Hitch - Quick knot for tying anything to anything.
Trucker's Hitch - Better than a half hitch, because you can add tension to keep whatever you are securing tightened down.
ETA: For fishing, I use Palomar, uni and improved clinch a lot.

Improved clinch knot and palomar knot for fishing.
Fishermans knot for joining two ropes together.
Bowline and half hitch knots for just about anything.

Paw Paw was a Squid. Learnt this one while still in diapers. Think I actually used it on my own diapers.

Also learn to braid for putting eyes in snatch rope. It's very simple.

Palomar
Loop
Surgeon
Half Hitch
My favorite is a right angle knot, discovered during my Navy time, easy to tie, easy to untie. Lots of applications.

Berkley Braid knot. If you do any fishing this is the best thing invented since the hook

Snell knot for flipping, pitching & punching. Pressure on the hook eye kicks the hook up into the top of the fish's mouth. Google Bub Tosh for a good instructional on how to tie his version.

The cow hitch is a great knot to know, my wife and I have experimented with several knots and we enjoy this knot the most.

Bowline has been my most useful, by far.

Power snell the best. 10 X faster to tie for offshore fishing.
Also great to use for fishing turtles or drip lines.
