How to Tie a Ring Hitch Knot

A ring hitch is just a really simple little hitch. You know if you take a loop of rope that you want to attach just any everyday objects with. If you look down here I would show you. We have a little copper ring that I'm going to use here and here is my length of rope with a knot tied in it. So I have a nice loop going on here. What I'm going to do is just take it, take my initial loop and just run it through the ring. Now you can just take it, you have to make sure you pull enough length here and just wrap it over and under and pull it tight like this. You see it creates this, almost like a butterfly look to it here. Let's do that one more time. Pull it off here is our ring and here is our loop. I'm just going to shove it through here and just open it up. You have to make sure you have enough rope to actually slide around the object that you going to be using. Just pull it, you have to work it a little bit. You see it tightens right on up and it would hold something and you use this for anything. If you want to attach like a little something to your key ring or whatever this would be the simplest easiest way to do this.
