Running knot aka slip knot

[treebusters219]

I am newer to tree climbing and trying to learn some knots I am looking for a good slip knot cause I have notice that the traditional slip knot can come on done what kind of knot do you use when attach your rigging rope to a branch

Running bowline or timber hitch. Some guys like a Clove hitch, but it's not my favorite. What did the guy who trained you use?

Usually a running bowline, sometimes a clove hitch especially if I'm rigging out more than one branch at a time. I may also use a round turn and 2 half hitches.

Traditional slip knots synch tight on itself, sometimes making it hard to untie. A running bowline gives the security of a slip knot but like a bowline is easy to untie.
