How to Tie Buntline Hitch

A bunt line hitch is an old, old hitch and it's been around forever. It's a great hitch to tie into something if perhaps it's going to create or have a lot of movement and be whipping around. Most of the time when you have a hitch tied into something if whips around a lot it will come unloose but this a great one. This one was used in square-sail rigging way back when. And it was also and old knot if it was tied into flat material. It was also the old knot that they used for a bow-tie back in the day. So, what we've got here, you can see I've already got my hitch laid out, something to tie it to. I'm going to pull my line underneath here. I'm going to pull up and over - actually, let's do this the other way. Let's do this over and under and wrap it around like this. Wrap my working end over my standing end. This it's going to come underneath - pull this down a little bit so you've got a little more show on this. And then I'm going to take this and wrap this through and this is mostly a figure eight hitch right here. What makes this one different is that we're going to wrap this around and put in another hitch into it, another half hitch into it; making this a two half-hitch deal. Or, a double half hitch and as you see, when you pull on it, it definitely will pull and tighten up really tight.
