Dan! Is that the correct spelling for that very useful knot? t a u g h t
line? Do you not agree that it should be: t a u t?

Hey Tom,
Yeah, I agree about learning to tie knots. I have learned a number of
knots but have always had to feel the process.
As a rock climber, backing up a bowline with a half hitch is absolutely
necessary.
The coolest knot tieing trick I know is the one handed bowline. Very cool
and fast. The double fishermans is a great knot, and I always backup the
tails with a half hitch on that one as well.
the one knot I really wish I could remember to tie is the taughtline
hitch. You basically get a long loop and the knot at the base of the loop
can be slid up and down to adjust the length of the loop but tightens up
under tension. It is great for adjusting the tension on a tent line.
