Step 2: <\/strong>Wrap the line (clockwise) twice around your left hand until you have 3 parallel lines in your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will call these, from left to right, Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Take the far left rope (Line 1) and bring it over the middle rope (line 2), forming an X<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: <\/strong>Pull Line 2 to create slack–this will be your loop size so however big you want your loop that’s how much slack you should make<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: <\/strong>Take Line 2 (the loop you made) and cross lines 1 and 3 all the way to the right.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Tuck Line 2 back underneath lines 3 and 1 (in that order).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> While holding loosely onto Lines 1 and 3, pull Line 2 until the wraps of Lines 1 and 3 are just a couple inches<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> Continue tightening until it collapses with one half hitch (glossary<\/a>) on either side of the loop as you see here. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9279,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"taxonomy_info":[],"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Peter","author_link":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/author\/outsidedecider\/"},"comment_info":0,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9432"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9432"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9443,"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9432\/revisions\/9443"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/decideoutside.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
