TIMBER HITCH

                This is a temporary hitch or noose formed around such objects as

                tree trunks, poles and planks so that they can be dragged or towed.

                It can also be used to raise or lower as long as the hitch is tied at

                the centre of gravity. The addition of a half hitch, which technically

                changes  it  to  a  Killick  Hitch,  allows  for  much  more  directional

                stability when dragging or towing.



                 1  Pass the line around the object you want to secure. Then take the line

                end back around the main line and across itself.
