Nice. I wonder if he's a climber?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_loop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-eight_loop is a classic climbing knot and I guess most people would just use an overhand knot.
I usually prefer a bowline for tying in, but that's not as safe. :)
- phelm 10y agolooks more like an overhand loop to me https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhand_loop https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhand_loop
- hobbyjogger 10y agoDefinitely figure eight. He says as much in the article.
- purpleidea 10y agoI used to climb, yes, and I've learned a lot of knots. I used a figure-eight for one of the reasons it's used in climbing: the bend radius isn't as sharp, thus putting less strain on the knot.
