🔍 Key Concepts

• Timber hitch is used to tow or hoist a log or spar lengthwise; it tightens when pulled and falls apart when slack. • A timber hitch has one turn around the object and then several twists of the working end around the standing part of the same line. • Compare with bends (used to join two lines) and hitches used with posts or hooks, which look different from a timber hitch.

💭 Think About

• Look at which lettered knot is tied directly around a log or spar, not joining two separate lines or attaching to a hook or ring. • Which knot shows the working end corkscrewing around the standing part after making a single wrap around the timber? • Which of the options E, F, N, and U would be easiest to shake loose and untie once the strain is removed from the line?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the knot you choose is around a single cylindrical object (a timber), not joining two ropes together. • Confirm there is one turn around the timber and then multiple twists around the standing part, not two ends crossing like a square knot or bend. • Make sure the knot you select does not form a fixed loop or multiple stacked hitches on a vertical standing line; it should look like a simple hitch that grips along the timber.
