Taught-Line Hitch

TAUGHT-LINE HITCH (Required) The Taught-Line Hitch can be tied on a line that is taught. When used for tying a tent guy-line, you can tighten or loosen the line by pushing the hitch up or down on the standing part.

Pass the line around the tent stake. 
Bring the end under and over the standing part and twice through the loop you have formed.
Again bring the pore end under, over, and through the loop, but this time farther up the standing part. 
Work any slack out of the knot. 
Slide the hitch to adjust the tension on the line.
