The barrel hitch
The barrel hitch is a knot that you can use to carry something that doesn’t
have handles. Imagine that you have a container or a can of paint that you
need to carry.
1. Begin by drawing the rope under the container. Make sure there is a good
length of rope on both sides.
2. Draw the rope up on both sides of the container. Wind the rope around
itself over the container, in a so-called half knot, just as though you were
tying your shoes.
