Hiking Knots

Hitching Tie
Hitching Tie

Use this knot to tie off your stuff sacks and you will always be able to get at your gear quickly. To untie, just pull hard on the free end of the rope and the knot will fall open.

  • Tie an overhand knot, but double the standing end of the rope over and pull the looped end through the overhand knot before cinching it tight.
