STEP 3 Tuck the running ends through the turn in opposite directions.




















               STEP 4 Tighten by taking out slack with both the standing parts and
               the running ends.


















                  If  you  use  two  identical  ropes  to  tie  the  Hunter’s  Bend,  it  will  hold
               well and securely. Another benefit of this knot is that it unties readily.





               OVERHAND BEND


               The Overhand Bend is quick to tie and is best used with small cordage
               like thread or string. It is secure, but makes a connection that is only half
               as strong as the material it is tied in.


               STEP 1 Place two ends of the cord or two cords next to each other, and
               use the double cord to tie an Overhand Knot.
