Today I learned how to tie a two half-hitches knot. My dad asked me what I could use it for. Here is a short list of things you can use it for.
- If you were in Back to the Future III, you could use it to tie your horse to a post
- If you're camping and using stakes to hold down your tent, you could tie one end to the stake and the other end to the tent
- Finally, if you have a dog that is crazy, you could tie the dog's leash to a post to keep him from escaping
You will want to also learn the Clove Hitch. It is useful in tying up your horse as well as many other things. The Two Half-Hitches is just a Clove Hitch tied over the top of your rope.
ReplyDeleteI use two half hitches on one end of the rope and a taut line hitch on the other to make a clothes line. I can hang my sleeping bag on the clothes line to air it out after a campout. The taut line hitch has many uses, like securing my truck to the house so it doesn't run away at night. Love, Grandpa H.
