Timber Hitch
A simple but effective way of tying round a log or bundle of
timber—the more you pull the tighter the log is held. If a log is
be dragged along the ground, it helps to put an extra half hitch
further along the log, which gives a directional stability to the
log as it travels over the ground. The timber Jk
hitch is also used at the heart of the diagonal \ |j m
lashing (see page 182).
