Timber hitch is a great hitch. Not just for hauling something, it can also be excellently used to simply secure the end of a rope to anything.

i have skidded timber using cordage and a timber hitch. the 1/2 hitch helps steer the logs but also keeps the front end of them from jamming in the ground, works like jack the bear.

The thought of an open working end bugs/scare me....I would wanna put two have hitches or an overhand knot as a finisher....

Could the timber hitch be used in a tree care routine? As in a clover up in a tree having the need to use a let down rope to control the path of a freshly cut branch out of the tree. Instead of using a bowline or running bowline?

a running Boland would do the same job and is safer

And a Honda knot??? The ol' cowboy lasso.

Man.. this is just wrong. Bite the rope. Twist it up 7 times. Out the logs over the rope and put loose end trough the bite. Simple. Synthetic vs natural fiber is not important when you twist it up.
