Self Constricting Hitch for Peggy Peg

[sloth99]

I'm going to try Peggy Pegs for anchoring my Tensa Solo. Tensa says to use a self constricting hitch with the Peggy Pegs. I can guess what a self constricting hitch is, but I'm not very familiar with knots and hitches and I'm not sure what would be a good self constricting hitch in this case. Any recommendations? I do know the bending knot, or round turn with 2 half hitches, does it qualify? Thanks!

The most basic one is a bowline.

Bowline is not a constrictor.

OP might add to the list slipped buntline hitch which is a constrictor but also super easy to tie and release.

Plus on slipped buntline hitch
Another is marlin spike hitch
Another is multiple wrap pile hitch, always wrapped from top of stake towards bottom of stake

Thanks very much for the replies. I use the slipped buntline for my tarp, learned it from the Warbonnet video on tarps. I assume then that the slipped buntline is strong enough to use for anchoring a Solo, and it's not just a lighter load hitch? Thank you.

I use it (slipped buntline) for tying my suspension webbing to the tree, so yes it can handle quite a load.

Stick a bend of the guyline though the loop on the end of the guyline. The bend is a self-constricting loop. No knots needed.
