8. Slipped Half Hitch

Also known as: Half Hitch with a Drawloop

Tie a Slipped Overhand Knot around an object and you’ve got a Slipped
Half Hitch. It has the same benefits and disadvantages as a regular Half
Hitch but the drawloop makes it even easier to untie.

Uses: to maintain light tension on an object that must be easily released Pros: quick and easy to tie;
more easily released than a regular Half Hitch Cons: insecure; slips easily; holds only with light
constant tension

Instructions

1. Make a crossing turn around an object and form the working end into a bight.
