4 Essential Knots You NEED to Know Now!

It's times like this that we wish we had nimble fingers. They'd make the process a little easier, don't you think?

The Tautline Hitch

This knot is immensely useful when setting up a tent or shelter or any line that requires adjustable length and tension. When not under a load, the knot slips along the standing part of the line allowing you to remove the slack, but when placed under a load, it locks in place. This knot is a good choice for tent and shelter guy lines, securing line to ground stakes or to make an adjustable hanging loop for camp gear.
