How to Tie Knots


Timber Hitch

  This is an important hitch, especially for dragging a heavy object like a log. It will hold firmly so long as there is a steady pull; slacking and jerking may loosen it. The timber hitch is also useful in pioneering when two timbers are "sprung" together.

  When it is used for dragging, a simple hitch should be added near the front end of the object to guide it.
