A knot everyone needs to know, I usually tie a clove hitch by wrapping an x directly onto the pole lashing style.

Great simple explanation, Thanks!

One of the beauties of the clove hitch is it holds in both directions. You can go from knot to knot retightening a complex lashing pulling the slack to the rope ends. The other advantage is if you slip the loosened knot off the end of a pole it dissolves without a tangle.

Thank you Lisa

Always good to keep skill learning going, thanks for sharing

I’ve never tied it like that but that’s neat, I’ve always tied it directly around the pole. It’s good to have options.

❤ Hi Lisa, thanks for the instructions. Looking forward to doing the whole tarp setup. Are the poles used to do the setup the same poles you use to propel and maneuver your canoe ?

Very well explained and fimed. I think knot videos/ instructions are confusing due to the vocabulary sometimes used. Knot lingo is pretty specific and not current in most people's lives.Thanks for the video.

Practice, Practice!!😊
