Easy to tie and untie, this fairly strong knot is often used to secure tent stakes.
This simple knot makes an adjustable loop anywhere on a rope. The version shown is a slippery backpacker’s hitch, which can be easily untied by pulling on the loose end. STEP BY STEP: Take the loose end of the rope and make at least three wraps around the tree and tuck the loose end under the last loop. The backpacker’s hitch is for wrapping a rope around a tree, making it useful for securing your hammock, clothesline, or tent. Take the new right side of the rope, put it over the left end and wrap it under. Take the left part of the rope, put it over the right and wrap around. STEP BY STEP: Holding the two ropes together at one end, take the left strand under the right and under, then right over left and under. Bonus: It’s easy to untie, even with a lot of stress added to it. You can always add more pieces of rope, and this knot can be used almost anywhere, especially when you need to tie something loosely to your pack, or make extra line for a tarp or rain fly. This classic knot is useful in situations where you’re connecting two pieces of rope. Watch: Master your ropework with Essential Outdoor Knots on Outside LEARN today.
