Round Turn and half hitches The Round Turn and half hitches makes a good hitch when you need to tie a rope or cord to an object. It holds up well and is strong. This makes it a very useful knot around camp. This knot is easier to tie when the rope is under tension, such as tying up a full bear bag, because the two wraps around the tree take the pressure off the knot tying end of the rope, making it easier to finish off the two half hitches. This knot is used as a bend. Example: secure the bear bag rope once it is hauled up or tie a hammock to a tree. |
