???? Know Your Knots: The Highwayman’s Hitch

When you need a quick-release knot that’s strong, simple, and slick — the Highwayman’s Hitch has your back.

Originally used by travelers and riders (hence the name), this knot lets you secure a load fast and release it with a single pull — perfect for tying off gear, animals, or tarps when you’re on the move.

How to Tie It:
1️⃣ Wrap the rope around your anchor (tree, post, or rail).
2️⃣ Make a loop in the working end and pull it through the bight from the standing line.
3️⃣ Make a second loop and pull it through the first loop.
4️⃣ Lock it with a third loop or the working end — and you’re set.

Why You’ll Love It:
✔️ Fast to tie
✔️ Holds solid under tension
✔️ Releases instantly — even under load
✔️ Great for temporary setups and quick getaways

Just remember — this knot is made for speed, not suspension. It’s perfect when you need to move light and fast.
