Wolfy,.. Wolfy,.. Wolfy.... for shame, for shame....
Well, I was hoping for more activity here, but I think I've waited long enough.
Someone elsewhere on the interwebs asked the other day, how to lower something and retrieve your rope without someone on the ground to untie.
Of course it would be better to have a line a bit longer than the distance to the ground and back up, but what if you don't?
I replied, a single hitch. I was going to show an image, so off to google I went to search for this fundamental and foundational knot. I was very disappointed. I've seen plenty of videos and images wrongly calling the half hitch a single hitch, Wolfy!!, but I was a bit surprised that it is basically impossible to find with an internet search.
I give you the humble and elusive single hitch.
I knew it was in Ashley's book, but I wanted to bring attention to this failure of the internet. Let's get the word out on this guys, words mean things and it is important that we all know what they mean, or keep our mouthes shut. Unlike the usual me. hahaha
