Yes, you can back it up with a half-hitch, but at that point you've almost got a round-turn-and-two-half-hitches, which is way easier for students to learn. And yes, the clove hitch is absolutely essential to learn if you're going to use it as part of the constrictor knot or the buntline hitch (two of my personal favorites), but I rarely use it ...
The Half Hitch tied here is shown in ABoK as an example of how not to tie it. It is followed by the much more secure version that pins the tail behind the post. ABoK 1662 and ABoK 1663. 1663 is obviously less secure than the Clove or Constrictor, but it serves it purpose well. It works great for temporarily hanging something then shaking it free.
The constrictor is reliable to the point that it can be nearly impossible to untie. Two other possibilities for your knot are the rolling hitch and midshipman's hitch, which are more likely than the constrictor to be used as alternatives to the clove hitch if a more reliable knot is desired that can still be untied. 4.

It won't slip unless you release it completely. Close, what you have described is a 'munter hitch'. This clove hitch will not slip and take a pull perpendicular to the staff it's tied to. It's used as the starter and end for most lashings as it does not slip and binds tighter as more load is applied to it.
The Clove Hitch holds about the same on both sides (which is to say not a lot, but still better than knot #1). Edit: Nevermind, this isn't correct. A better check would be to pull the ends up and over the top to their opposite side. The Clove Hitch will catch, and the other knot easily slides into an obvious overhand knot
Boa Constrictor: Pretty rare I ever use this one, and when I do it's usually with a slippery cordage like Zing-it etc. Constrictor is my king of knots. It's such a good knot and can generate extremely powerful compression. It's easy to damage things with it, which speaks to how much force it can generate.
For me they are all knots without names but to talk to others they had to have a name. You're right but some people including me also call them knots, the sub is called knots not hitches. If this is a new way to tie the clove hitch. Let this be called the ion clove hitch. It's on Wikipedia and I don't really use it other than to try to tie it.
wolvmarine_ • 3 yr. ago. Also, I tend to run constrictor knots on my favorite knives, stacked, over electrical tape since the knot needs something to bight down onto. The knot has a good ridge that grabs onto your palm and I know that if a strand breaks that the Con'knots above and below will keep it from unraveling.
Relationship between clove hitch, constrictor, various bag knots, etc. The recent post about tying the constrictor reminded me of this awesome graphic I download many years ago. The gist of it is that the only difference between the constrictor the clove hitch, the sack knot, and a bunch of other stuff is where the last tuck goes.
a constrictor knot won't loosen with most applications / rope or cord. Its tension does not require line tension. Lock it with a half hitch at the end. Don't use one? I think anchor hitch is the most secure for your scenario. how to make a clove hitch/spar hitch/ constrictor secure ? lets say i want to use 1 of these above to connect rope to a ...
