is the quick hitch not also called a slipery sheet bend and i think the best knot for rope to rope is a sheet bend and that its easier to tie tie a marine spike (normal knot used for saws etc) put the rope through the loop and pull the loop back out (as you would to undo normally) this then pulls the lowering rope through with it and results in a sheet bend and its very easy and quick to tie

bowline running bowline bowline on a bight all good knots i use all the time the bowline on a bight is very good for shortening a rope when pulling trees with a winch/mog/landy etc and it always comes apart afterwards i also use butterfly and alpine butterfly for a few jobs cow hitch, timber hitch, clove hith constricter is good for slippy things and of course the mos used knot of all the marine spike
