Adjusting
Once snug and set, the hitch can be adjusted as needed. To tighten the line with respect to a load attached to the standing part, grasp the standing part with one hand inside of the loop and pull towards the anchor object. Grasp the hitch with the other hand and as slack develops within the loop slide the hitch away from the anchor object, taking up the slack and enlarging the loop. To loosen, slide hitch toward the anchor object, making the loop smaller and lengthening the standing part.
