Round Turn and Two Half Hitches
A really good Hitch, but it must be made properly. Sometimes the full round turn is omitted and just two half hitches made,
but this is not as good because the half hitches can be jammed against the post or bollard if the rope is pulled hard.
It is also important that the half hitches are made in the same way, that is with the rope moving in the same direction
around itself.
Use this Hitch if in doubt about using any other, particularly when the direction of pull is likely to change,
as when mooring a boat or tethering an animal.
