Cow Hitch (continued)
3 Another way to tie a Cow Hitch is by first passing a bight behind
and back over the object, and then pulling both ends all the way
through the bight.
Another variation of the Cow Hitch is the Pedigree Cow Hitch—the
difference is that you tuck the running end inside the turns for extra secu-
rity. This hitch is secure enough to put tension on just the standing part.
You can also tie the Cow Hitch in the bight by making opposing
crossing turns and placing them together, leaving it ready to slide over
an object.
