59. Round Turn and Two Half Hitches

One of the best hitches for loads that are roughly perpendicular to a fixed

object, Two Half Hitches are easy to tie and untie, fairly secure, adjustable
for tightness or length, and stronger than most hitches, because the load is
born by the turns around the object, not by the knot itself. The preferred
method begins with a round turn around the object.

Uses: hitch for any load perpendicular to object; boats, clotheslines, ridge lines, towing, tent guys
Pros: strong, secure, easy to tie and untie, adjustable

Cons: not as secure as a Taut Line Hitch
