Fig. 2 



Fig. 2. The packer lifts the near load as high up into 

 position as possible and holds it into place (with 

 his shoulder) while he slips the near rope in a loop 

 around the forward end of the pack. 

 He then takes a half-hitch around the near arm of 

 the fork. 



He then passes the sling rope on over the rear 

 of the saw buck and throws it into the off crotch 

 The position of the lash rope is now as indicated in 

 Fig. 2.
