Step 6Round Turn and Two Half-Hitches
This is a knot used to secure a line to a ring or bar. Wind a couple of turns around the bar, then secure the end with two hitches around the standing part (this looks like a clove hitch when done).
Advantages:
Can be made under load - it is easy to take turns around the bar while maintaining tension on the rope
Strong - provided the bar is thicker than the rope, the rope is not weakened by sharp bends.
Disadvantages:
The end tends to work loose
Uses:
Securing a line to a mooring ring or samson post
