Basket Hitch
Made from a closed loop of rope, the Basket Hitch is meant for providing
an anchor point or hoisting some form of load, and is also used for overhead
rigging. It’d also one of the strongest knots around. It has often been used in
webbing and animation. It is also used as a false crotch by arborists and can
carry up to 800 lbs of load!

Instructions:
1. Place the webbing sling above the branch where you have centered
a beer knot (you’ll learn about this below).
2. Then, wrap the ends of the sling together so they actually could
come together.
3. Finally, let the carabiner be hooked into the loop so it could carry
some load.
