Tying with Cow Hitches takes time, but if you plan ahead, untying can be very fast! These framing/anchor lines will be the cores around which the Cow Hitches are tied, so if you design your framing so it can be released without untying the whole outfit, you can just pull those lines out of the inside of the Cow Hitches, which – as you can see here – then just fall apart! Very cool.

Important! … Use a rope that does *not* have knots at the end.

Note: With the exception of the last technique shown below in this section, these are all focused on establishing the anchor line for the first layer of a garment. Techniques for adding additional layers are shown in the Adding Layers section below.
