                              Ashley’s Bend (continued)


                 3   Form the final tuck by bringing both running ends through the
                     center together.
























                 4   Tighten down the cord, forming Ashley’s Bend.

























                     Ashley’s Bend is very strong and secure when used to join similar
                 ropes. It does not slip even when brought under severe shock loads,
                 but can be untied easily when desired.
