farrimond hitch

They work. The nice thing is that one does not need access to either end of the line. I used several the other day securing a pool cover I was draining.

I usually put a stick in that last loop like a toggle to prevent accidental spilling... it's 100% locked with a stick in there

Yes! I replaced my use of the taut-line hitch with the Farrimond hitch because I no longer have to feed all the remaining line through the knot multiple times. It's so easy to tie/untie, and it even brought me back from using a CRL to separate lines on either end of the tarp.

Animated example.

I use it if I need or want to tie out my tarp to a sapling instead of a stake. Works great.

If you ever have the opportunity to hang with Phatom Grappler, he can show you how to tie this and many other knots.

I think Farrimond hitch is one the coolest things you can do with rope! It's always fascinated me. I don't know why. Even the name sounds cool to me.

I totally agree. It sounds great, I think it's the alliteration. Farrimond Friction Hitch has the same mouth feel as Fast Fourier Transform. It's cool and sounds cool too!
