Tighten the knot carefully making sure Rope B is on top of rope A when the knot is fully tightened. You should count 4 parallel knot strands<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nMost Secure Hitch: the Double Anchor Bend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n I know, I know… why is it a bend if it’s a hitch? Who really knows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hitch<\/strong> is a knot that secures a rope to an object<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Anchor Bend is a secure hitch and isn’t too hard to tie, which is why I like it so much. A double anchor bend adds an additional wrap around the object adding extra security. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/picture>Double Anchor Bend<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNotice the Double Anchor Bend has 3 wraps around the object you’re hitching around. This is fantastic for a hitch you want to ensure stays put (unlike the clove hitch where if you add or remove slack it can come undone pretty easily).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Tie the Anchor Bend<\/h4>\n\n\n\nTake your rope and make 2 full round turns around the object so you see three parallel lines on the object you’re hitching (see the picture)<\/li> Take the working end and go over the standing part and through the opposite end of the round turns<\/li> Take the working end and go over the standing part again and under and through itself to make a half hitch<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you’re looking for secure knots, you’ve come to the right place.
