•          Cow HITCH




                                             Also knowlI as: L ANYARD /llTel I
                                             This hitch, composed of two single hitches, is
                                             generally made around a ring and is probably
                                             the least secure of all the hitches, and it should
                                             be regarded as only a temporary fasten ing.  Its
                                             name suggests its most common use - as a
                                             means of tethering livestock.
