The Round Turn & Two Half Hitches is a reliable hitch for mooring or load securing, commonly used in boating, diving, and military operations. It consists of a round turn (two passes around an object) followed by two half hitches to lock the rope. It's easy to tie, stable under load, and less likely to slip compared to simpler hitches. Ideal for static loads but not recommended for high-stress or dynamic applications.

Advantages

Highly stable and resistant to slipping. Easy to tie and rarely jams, making it superior to simpler knots like Two Half Hitches.

Disadvantages

Not suitable for high-stress or dynamic loads where more advanced hitches are required.
