Fig. 3. The packer now passes to the near side where 

 he slings the near side pack in the same manner 

 as just prescribed for the off side pack. In this 

 case he does not make a bowline. 

 He passes the end of the near sling rope (after a 

 full turn around the near bight at the centre of 

 the sling) through the bight of the bowline on 

 top of the load and heaves hard. He then makes 

 fast and the load is slung ready for the hitch. 

 The position of the sling rope is now as shown in 

 Fi2. 3.
