If you don't know the pile hitch you haven't lived yet.

Some other members posted links on how to tie it.

If you cannot get the bight over the top, you can still tie the hitch but it takes a bit more practice. I think I've encountered this once (maybe in Meredith?) and just use a bowline.

Pop quiz: The 4-in-hand tie knot is the same (renamed) as what sailing/boating knot?
