Rolling Hitch
(Also Known As: Magner's
Hitch, Magnus Hitch)
Uses:
Possibly on of the most underrated knots in Scouting, the Rolling
Hitch is used to attach one rope to a second rope or to a round
timber or bar and can be easily slid along the rope/timber/bar.
Instructions:1) Begin with a round turn in the direction of the
strain. 2) Then take a second round turn in the same
direction. 3) Cross the line in front and away from the
direction of strain. 4) Pass the
running end under the
crossed line just formed. 5) Tighten the
hitch.
Notes: The knot can be considered a clove
hitch with an additional turn.
