Carrying Cindling Clums: The Timber Hitch

 The Timber Hitch is (as the name implies) used for hauling logs and log-like objects. Tie it around a tree trunk, drag it through the woods, cut it up (or burn it), etc.

It's really heavy, I swear!

The Timber Hitch is pretty simple to tie. Make a loop. Wrap around the loop. Then wrap around at least two more times. Pull tight.

I tried to do it vertically at first, but that doesn't match the pics.

4/5. I should practice a bit more, since I haven't done this one in years. But it's pretty easy.
