Fisherman's Bend
Although called a bend, this would
more correctly be called a hitch. It is
one of the strongest fastenings in that
category.
You begin by taking two round
turns about the post or orner object
[0 which you are affixing the rope.
Using the rope end, take a Half Hitch
about the standing part, then draw
the end beneath the two round turns
and tighten it. Then, take another
Half Hitch around the standing part
and draw the end tight in the usual
fashion.
Experiments with this hitch will
demonstrate its ability to stand strain.
This bend is also known as the
"Anchor Bend."
