CROSS-TREE HITCH 



A One-Man Hitch 



This is a single-diamond and is generally used on 

 the saw buck saddle. It is one of the few hitches that 

 can be thrown as easily by one man as by two. 



To avoid confusion in the diagrams the sling ropes are not shon/n. 



This hitch is shown as thrown using the sobre-jalma. 

 A sobre-jalma is not essential where the Saw Buck is 

 used, but it adds to the convenience.
