Hiking Knots

Miller's Knot
Miller's Knot

As the name implies, this knot was used to tie off sacks of grain in days gone by. It is very similar to the clove hitch. The miller's knot is perfect for tying your food bag to a tree for the night.

  • Form an overhand loop around the end of the bag.
  • Wrap the free end around the bag a second time and pull it through the first overhand loop as shown. Cinch the knot tight.
