Now a bale sling hitch is a really simple hitch to use. When I say bale I'm talking like a bale of hay. It is a really simple hitch to use if you just want to loop around something and pack it with a nice easy handle. If you look down here on my table here you can see I have already have my standard hitch that I have been using here. I have just taken my rope here and I tied a knot here on the end so I have a nice loop here. What you are going to do is very simple way to do this is you just going to loop this under here like so. Bring it over and pull it up. That is just your bale sling hitch and you can see that this creates a nice handle here which you can grab and pull and pack whatever it is you need to pack. Especially heavy objects. Let me do this again. Just very simple like. Take our loop that we have here and bring it under and you can actually bring it over if you want to. Then back under, back under here, you see, then just bring my other hand through like so. Like so. There it goes. A nice handle and you see that I have that knot here so I can grab a hold to it. It fills my palm really nice and there is your bale sling hitch.
