| Knots & Lashing |
| 3.3 Timber Hitch � Used to attach a rope to a log, or where security is not an issue. This knot tightens under strain, but comes undone extremely easily when the rope is slack. � Wrap the rope around the log, then pass the running end around the standing part of the rope. Finally twist the running end around itself three or four times. (Note: this is only shown twice in the animation.) � Tip: Very useful for dragging logs back to the camp fire! 3.4 Highwayman�s Hitch � Use as a way of securing a rope to any fastening to point and quickly release ot when needed. 3.5 Tent-Guy-Loop � Use ro secure tentage, flagpoles, structures etc. to the pegs. 3.6 Marlinspike � Use to make rope ladder � Take note of the correct way of tying. If tied wrongly, yhe rope ladder will give way |
