The Ground-line Hitch is often considered to be a slightly better alternative to the Clove Hitch. In this particular video, I will demonstrate how to tie the Slipped Version of the Ground-line Hitch.
What is the Ground-line Hitch used for? According to Geoffrey Budworth; this makes a great alternative to the Clove Hitch; this particular hitch has also been used on nets to trawl the seas for cod.; it has also been adopted by the US Cavalry as a Picket Line Hitch. This is a very versatile hitch that can be attached to a good anchorage point and will hold up well on a right-angled load.
One downside to the Ground-line Hitch is that is does not behave well when the rope is swinging. So for a static load this is a great little hitch to use. Some people may also know this as a Spar Hitch
