THE EVER YTHING KNOTS BOOK
Guy Line Hitch (continued)
Sometimes two Overhand Knots are tied next to each other in the
standing part. The running end is passed through the first one to pro-
vide the grip and the second one to hold the end down.
3 Tie two Overhand Knots in the standing part, and tuck the running
end into the second one.
Like the Tautline Hitch, the Guy Line Hitch is meant for a support
line and not for serious hoisting or for rescue and safety lines.
