- Tip. Use this knot if you have a guy rope with no adjuster. Create a
loop on the end of a second rope which is slipped over the peg. Use a
rolling hitch to attach the second rope to the guyline. Alternatively,
take the guyline around the peg and tie the Rolling hitch back onto the
standing part of the guyline, above the peg, thus forming an adjustable
loop. This is known as the Tautline Hitch in America.
- Tip. Use this knot when constructing camp gadgets such as a
suspended table. A Rolling hitch in each suspension rope will allow easy
adjustment and a level table!
- Tip. When adjustments are complete, lock the rolling hitch into
place by using a stop knot such as a Figure
of Eight in the first rope, below the Rolling hitch, to stop it
slipping.
