A buntline hitch knot is another useful kayaking knot to know how to tie. This knot can be used to tow another kayak and can also attach your kayak to a number of different objects such as a post or a rod. In fact it’s also the knot that is used to tie a business tie!
Step 1: Loop the end of the rope through the object youwant to attach to and then bring the end of the rope over the initial line that was fed through.
Step 2: Continue bringing the end of the rope back under the initial line then back over to form a loop around the initial line.
Step 3: Bring the line under and through the larger loop forming the final loop.
Step 4: Pull the line tight to secure the knot.
