Usage
The Woodland Zip-tie is a useful binding knot for tying up tarps, sleeping bags, or other types of rolled material. It maintains tension as it is cinched tighter, even when the working ends are released.
Also known as
- Bedroll Knot
- Cow Hitch Lock Knot
Structure
The Woodland Zip-tie is based on a Cow Hitch (aka Lark's Head) where the Cow Hitch is formed and then the working ends are passed around an object and then back through the loops of the Cow Hitch. When the working ends are pulled, it causes the cow hitch loops to constrict and maintain tension on the working ends.
