tight and you have completed the round turn and two half
hitch with a bight knot. The finished knot should look like
the one you see in figure 27b.

Possible Uses:
You can use this knot for similar applications in which the
two half hitch is used. However, this variation can be quite
useful when it comes to untying the knot. All you have to do
is grab hold of the working end and pull on it. This will pull
the bight through the second half hitch and untie it. Doing
this will make it possible to untie the entire knot much
more quickly.

Round Turn and Two Half Hitch Knot
This might be considered a variation of the two half hitch
knot but its added usefulness warrants its own section in
this book.

Pros: There is more friction applied to the tree or any other
anchor point you might choose to tie this knot to. This
should help reduce slipping and spread the weight of the
load on the rope over two turns instead of just one. This
may make the knot stronger and less likely to break.
Cons: It takes slightly longer to tie and untie this variation
but the added strength of the knot probably makes up for
the added time.
