I figured I should do Two Half Hitches next, because it's used as a part of a lot of other knots. No clue how to tie it. Looked at about 10 different guides, including videos, and tied it wrong (but like three different ways) every time. I think I spent more time trying to figure this "simple" knot out than the other three I did this week put together. I don't even think everyone in the videos is trying to tie the same knot (and not in the "is it a midshipman or a taut-line" minor variant kind of way).
I don't remember ever actually needing it for anything when I went camping regularly (I'm not even entirely sure what it would do. It's just wrapping the rope around a pole?) Will have to ask someone about it, I guess. No picture today, since I can't tie it, and no directions, since if I can't learn from it, why would I sent it to you?
(EDIT, ~9 HOURS LATER: I did it right, for some reason I thought it wasn't supposed to slide, but it does. Will update tomorrow.)
