The hitching tie is a simple knot used to tie off stuff sacks that allows quick access as it unties quickly.[1][2] To untie the knot, just pull hard on the free end of the rope and the knot will fall open. This is simply a noose or slip knot, with the loop tightened around an object. This is not a very strong knot for climbing or other extreme activities.
