The Farrimond Friction Hitch is one of the BEST Knots / Hitches out there for Camping, Hiking, Bushcraft, and anything Outdoors. NOTE - I tie this DIFFERENT Than the standard way: See pinned comment as to a reason why.

Here's my Companion Blog Post on The Farrimond Friction Hitch: thebearessentials.com/blogs/knot-tying/how-to-tie-the-farrimond-friction-hitch

It's the perfect knot/hitch for setting up tarps, tents, shelters, ridgelines and more!

How to tie a clove hitch? Where to use the Clove Hitch? And WHY tie a clove hitch? All questions answered in this video. The Clove hitch knot is an incredible one for bushcraft, survival, prepping, and utility uses.

You can tie it with paracord, or pretty much any type of cordage. If the rope is slippery, use the Constrictor Knot variation. My favourite variation is the Clove hitch with a bight slipped through, or in other-words the quick release handle clove hitch!
