Badly tangled or misplaced ropes are a great inconvenience when hurried packing -becomes necessary or when bad weather makes the work unpleasant. A variation of the diamond hitch is shown in Fig. 134. This is a favorite hitch among wood packers, and aside from being especially effective for such use is so quickly and easily appHed that Httle time is wasted. It differs from the first form of the diamond hitch shown in that each successive length of rope is tightened as it is reached. The cinch is usually passed beneath the animals body from the near side, thus allowing the final tightening to be done from the front rather than at the rear of the animal.
