Over Hand Loop

The overhand loop is a versatile knot that that is easily undone. The overhand loop is also a very important part of a Power Cinch which is a system of knots that provides a 2:1 mechanical advantage

I use the overhand loop and the associated power cinch to secure highlines when I'm camping with livestock.

 

Safety:

Ropes and the knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and you could be the victim! Always use rope with care and  inspect and test any knots you tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load, especially your own climbing rope. The danger associated with ropes under load is often learned by painful experience. .
