<p>Say, I want to tie a rope between two trees, and I want it to have as little sag as possible. I have attached the rope to one tree and I'm trying to tie it to the other tree <strong>while pulling it to create tension and remove sag</strong>.</p>

<p>All the hitch knots that I know are difficult to do while applying tension and, when tightened, create some sag.</p>

<p>Which ones are easy to do under tension and avoid sag?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
