Taut-line Hitch The Taut-line Hitch is a friction knot used to form an adjustable loop in the guy line of a tent, dining fly or tarp. Some types of rope or cord don’t hold this knot well so try it before you need it. Nylon braid rope may be too slippery. Parachute cord and kern mantle rope work well. Because it has such a limited application, reference to it is scarce in literature or web sites. |
