Highwayman's Hitch

Also known as DRAW HITCH . The name of highwayman's hitch comes from the fact that this knot was supposedly used by robbers to insure a swift release for their horses reins and thus a rapid get-away. A single pull on the working end unties the knot, but the standing part can safely be put under tension.
