    Great pics. Thanks! I just recently found out about this as well and it's been a game changer for me. Makes it easy to evenly and alternately tighten multiple lines. I used it recently securing my canoe on my vehicle. Of course I backed it up with several half hitches. It's so effective that with a little dexterity one could do a very secure trucker's hitch one handed if the need should arise.

    Thanks, TacBlades. I just tried this with 1.1 guyline and it works great. I like it better than a slipped trucker's hitch because you can pull it super tight. With a slipped TH, you have to pull tight, then pinch and tie the half hitch. With this one, you get a 3:1 and another 3:1 with the double wrap! Outstanding.

    I just tried it on lashit seems to hold well especially with a slippery half hitch after, needs some real testing.

    Just saw this on Youtube earlier this week. Toss a Siberian hitch on one end, and this on the other and you can rig up a ridgeline or a clothesline super quick.
