The 'Round Turn' is a variation of the 'Clove Hitch' with an extra turn. This diagram demonstates the 'slipped' version. -'Da Cat

The 'Round Turn' is a variation of the 'Clove Hitch' with an extra turn. This diagram demonstates the 'slipped' version. If you're riding a camel, it is doubtful that there is anything to tie it up to other than a tent stake, or maybe a palm tree. -'Da Cat

Why would you buy ice cream if you needed a camel to get there? It would melt by the time you got back!

Submitted by: Ben
You can buy it at night, it freezes in the desert at night, though you might not want ice cream then. Well, I want ice cream anytime. Though it' hard tieing knots with frozen fingers, do the Swedish know a trick for that?
