Clove hitch is part of the Scouting WikiProject, an effort to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Scouting and Guiding on the Wikipedia. This includes but is not limited to boy and girl organizations, WAGGGS and WOSM organizations as well as those not so affiliated, country and region-specific topics, and anything else related to Scouting.

I suggest that a link to the Ground-line hitch be added. It is considered to be more secure and is just as easy to tie. The only downside, AFAIK, it that it is not not well known. I believe I used to have a link to it in the "related knots" section but it looks like someone removed it. Nascheme03:01, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the mention of the Clove Hitch in rock climbing. John Long's "How to Rock Climb" describes use of the clove hitch to tie a the climber to a multi-nut anchor, where some slippage of the knot may be useful to equalize strain on the nuts. But this is a rather particular use, and even Long recommends using a double figure eight instead in most cases. %%%
