How to Tie the Taut Line Hitch and the Midshipman's hitch. This particular hitch is often used to keep a tarp ridgeline tensioned.

This knot can very easily be adjusted to tighten or loosen a line, then holds fast when under load. The Taut Line Hitch or Midshipman's hitch is extremely useful for lines that may require adjustment. The Taut Line Hitch is often used by bushcrafters or campers to adjust the ridgeline of tarpaulins or guide lines. The great thing about this knot is that the knot slides freely, but jams when under load.

"Boy Scouts of America recommends for an adjustable sliding knot. However, the Midshipman's Hitch is, in fact, a superior knot to use for this purpose."
