Slipped sheet bend

Pass working rope (blue) through standing rope as shown	The working end continues behind both parts of the standing rope. Now, form a bight and pass it in front of both parts of the standing rope, but underneath the working part.	Tighten by pulling as shown. Pull on the working end to untie.

Tensioning Hitch

Make a loop and coil the working end around the standing part twice. Be sure to make the coils on the inside of the loop as shown.	Now pass the working end halfway around the entire loop (in front of the coils). Next, form a bight which will continue around the loop and tuck under the working part as shown in the next frame.	Tighten by first pulling bight in direction of arrow, then by pulling back towards the standing end. To release, pull on the working end.

Powercinch

Form a loop in the standing part of the rope. Reach through the loop and pull a bight in front of the loop through.	Pass the working end through the knotted loop formed by the previous step and pull backwards to tighten ridgeline.	With one hand, pinch the ropes at the white arrow to hold tension. With your other hand, tie a slippery half hitch as shown above to secure knot. Tug on working end to release knot.

Siberian Hitch

Pass the working end around the tree and wrap once around fingers of your palm up hand as shown.	While holding the working end, bring your hand with the wrapped rope underneath the standing end. This is done with a twist of your hand so that the back of your hand is now facing up.	With your fingers, pull a bight through the loop and pull to form the knot. The knot is then snugged up against the tree. Tug on working end to release knot.
