53. Hunter’s Bend
Also known as: Rigger’s Bend
With its working ends facing in opposite directions, perpendicular to the
standing parts, the Hunter’s Bend resembles the Zeppelin Bend. Because
the opposing crossing turns must remain parallel before tightening, it is
best tied on a flat surface. For years it was used by riggers and climbers and
not by hunters, but it was popularized by a Dr. Hunter in the 1970s.
Uses: load bearing
Pros: remains secure with or without load; holds slippery rope well
Cons: fussy to tie in hand; jams
