Does it have a name?

Just a quick question. What do you call it when you bring two branches closer together by putting a wire loop around them and twisting it tighter with a stick in the middle? Is there a name for that? I was trying to explain this to a friend and had no luck.

double Lindy, triple if you use three branches

It's not exactly the same, but the effect is much like using a turnbuckle.

I would just call that an anchor or guy wire. Zip ties are an easier way to do it if you don't care how it looks.
