The stopper hitch is a knot that clamps when loaded and slides when unloaded. Similar to the Prusik.
Application
With the stopper bar you can relieve ropes under tension. For example, when tightening a rope.
Or you can make a loop that is tight under tension but still adjustable. This can be used to tension a tent
If the knot doesn't hold, simply wrap the rope around the rope more times in step one. This can be the case for thin ropes.
Tying
Wrap the rope 2 to 6 times around the rope you want to clamp. (Wrap in the direction you want to load the knot.)
||
Wrap the rope over the wraps.
||
Wrap the rope around the rope again.
||
And pull it under the wrap.
||
Tighten and you're done.
