BILL HITCH
The bill hitch shown in this
photo sequence is made with
large-diameter rope and is
useful when the knot has to
be made and untied quickly.
Method
Pass the rope forward
through the mouth of the
hook (1); then wind the end
around the hook to form a
simple knot (2). Pull the
standing part and the knot
will automatically set itself
tight (3).
