to tie a

 SHEET BEND KNOT

WITH A QUICK RELEASE

A Sheet Bend is the preferred knot for joining two ropes together because  the Sheet Bend doesn’t slip under load yet comes apart easily even when wet. The slippery hitch variation of the Sheet Bend allows you to take the knot apart with a single pull which make it very handy for pulling camp early in the morning.

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.
