>>876856>The blake's hitch is very versatile.thanks! that seems to work better than the taut line (which tends to "roll" when loaded)
>knots at work by jeff jepson is a great book. Everyone should check it out.sounds very interesting, especially since Im also looking to climb some trees (recreationally) in the future.
>>877933I think the idea is that people ask questions here and he answers as best he can
therefore, while Im here: whats the best knot to secure a rod in the middle of a rope (ends are available) so that it can be loaded from both sides (individually and simultaneously)
marlinspike hitch can only be loaded on one side. The only thing that springs to my mind would be a constrictor, but that could be a bitch to untie
