Hi all

I am trying to encourage an apple tree in a certain direction by
gradually pulling it over.
There is a copper beach tree nearby to act as the anchor for the
rope tie.

What I need is a knot that can take up slack as I pull hard to
bend the tree.
Anyone understand what I am trying to achieve and suggest the
appropriate knot please?

I would have thought you just want to tie into a loop
of some sort and then do a half hitch to lock it off?

You'd be wrong.

reams of your **** flushed where it belongs

Pathetic coward.

The truckers hitch lets you get a lot more tension on
the rope and is much easier to adjust over time too.

A https://m.facebook.com/video_redirec...52&__tn__=FH-R offers no more tension that a looped rope

Wrong. It is in fact the equivalent of a block and
tackle system done entirely with just the one rope.

I know, I can use Wiki as well as you.

So, try to explain how a loop formed on the end of a single part and
tied to the loose end of a complete loop around both trees, tensioned
and tied off is any different to a single rope with a loop and a
truckers hitch?

Good luck with that.

an would offer less if the single part of the rope was
on it's strength limits (compared with two parts).

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

And you are still a sad and pathetic loser.
