How To Tie Popular Knots

Taut-line Hitch

Since it will only slide one way, the Taut-line hitch is often used on tent ropes.
The taut-line hitch will hold firmly on a smooth pole such as a scout stave. Place
rope end around pole, make a turn below it, then bring rope up across the standing
part around the pole and tuck through.
