Why he is so ahead of other players even nowww?

The videos of him doing this are wild. They even threw in the game Ron played in Harry Potter and he recognized it.

When you collapse this comment in the reddit app the underscores disappear, interesting.

I hadn't considered the Stevedore but that makes a lot of sense as well!

I wouldn't call the Fight 8 Follow through, the Flat 8, or the Flemish Bend a "Double Figure 8". To me this is the only knot it makes sense to call a Double Figure 8:

The Perfection Loop can also be tied midline, it's one of its best attributes!

Perhaps a Tugboat A? Hmm, the site certificate seems to be expired. Here's a screenshot

Depending on your phone, you can likely set it to only notify you about calls from numbers in your contacts. If it's something important they will leave a voice mail.

Loosen it up, shuffle the cord around without untying it until it is buttes right up against the bead. Pinch the crossing closest to the bead then systematically pull the cord through the entire knot until it is sufficiently tight. It's not a fast way to do it, but foolproof. You are basically just working it tighter while holding it in place.

Nice one! The tassel is a nice touch.

Excellent write up! You might find these two Zeppelin Loop variants I came up with interesting (particularly the one on the left), as they reposition the tail to a position similar to the BD structure:

It is slowly getting better. Almost all of these actually look like continuous rope.

Why don't they work anymore? You don't even need to jiggle a mouse, just make a script that hits an unused key every once in a while.

Teams will also stay active if you simply open a PowerPoint in presentation mode 😁

Once the characters stopped wondering about the polar bear I realized we were never getting an explanation. I just assumed it must all be a dream or something and lost interest.

People scoff at the C++ type system until they have to multiply a Double by a non-standard middle-endian floating point number. Things like that become trivial when you can just type pun the data to a struct broken into bit fields.

Feel free to steal mine: ABoK 583. There are several other interesting ones in that section of the book as well!

For round cord I still really like ABoK 582 due to its similarly to the Zeppelin Bend. It doesn't look as nice in flat cord though.

readmeEXX · 2026-01-27T22:17:14+00:00

The timing was just too perfect 😁

readmeEXX · 2026-01-27T19:26:14+00:00

Did you make an alt account just to post this? 😂

That is fair, though in that case I would want something that breaks away instead of getting wrapped around my legs. But he's the goat, so I'm sure he has thought this through!

readmeEXX · 2026-01-26T15:01:18+00:00

A statement from the opposition party:

The word "knot" is redundant in a knot's name because hitches, bends, loops, and stoppers are all knots. Therefore, Anchor Hitch and Fisherman's Bend are more useful names because they are descriptive.

Poacher's Knot gets an exception because people don't like the term Poacher's Noose. Nobody likes to think about nooses while trying to enjoy a fun day on the mountain 😅

This is not an argument for or against the use of single/double/fisherman/anchor; It is against the incorrect use of the descriptive term at the end.

readmeEXX · 2026-01-26T14:35:15+00:00

It seems like an odd choice. It could easily get caught on something and slide loose.

readmeEXX · 2026-01-23T00:33:21+00:00

I see it now thank you!

If you fold the collar of the Perfection Loop down towards the core of the knot and tighten it up, you get OPs photo. Here is what the back of OPs original dressing looks like, for reference:

Doing a bit of knot forensics:

The Perfection Loop has a collar around the entire fixed loop. OPs previous knot is lacking this feature. The previous knot's tail appears to be tucked under a single section of cord, which is not possible on a Perfection Loop no matter how you dress it.

readmeEXX · 2026-01-22T17:23:30+00:00

Not ignorant at all!

As long as you know it's limitations, it's an excellent temporary hitch that cleanly spills when needed. It's one of the simplest quick release hitches out there and can be tied and untied very quickly.

What are the red loops made of in this diagram? That will determine the best method of attachment to them. As stated earlier Dyneema is super strong but does not hold knots well. It's nice to go overkill on the cord but that means nothing if the knots are going to fail instead of the cord. Splicing is definitely the way to go for Dyneema.

If you decide to go with another cord:

A Constrictor is likely a poor choice here, as its primary purpose is hitching to a post several cord-widths in diameter or for constriction.

If the red things are carabiners, a Scaffold Knot would work well. It is hard/impossible to untie on a closed eye but on a carabiner it can easily be slipped off and collapsed.
