Tying a Bunt Line Hitch

Alright this is the bundt line hitch. It's very similar to a double half hitch as you might expect given the previous clips, but the difference is that this one binds a little bit more and is a little bit more difficult to untie. So given the situation you might prefer to use this. Anyway, so it starts just the same way and it goes around this way, crosses just like the half hitch, but rather than going through this way we're going to go around this way and create the other half hitch on the inside and it kind of forms this two loop thing and it has this diagonal going across. As you tighten it you can see it binds down a little more and it's actually a lot harder to untie. Also, an interesting thing about this knot is it can be used to tie your necktie.
