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: Useful for dragging
logs back to the camp fire!
