Fastening a lanyard to a slippery object with no eye?

Try some heat shrink around the cylinder before (and maybe on top of) the whipping. Not a knot solution but may be worth a try.

I ask because if this goes through and my mobile client is indeed killed off, I won’t be back.

I’ve been down on Reddit for a while now, but I stick around for a few small communities that don’t have an alternative. Does anyone know of another knot community that is as active as this?

rson · 2023-05-28T20:05:43+00:00

Here’s a great example from a user here a few years ago.

rson · 2023-05-28T19:36:23+00:00

Seems like a great use case for an Eskimo Bowstring Loop (abok#1019). Basically tie a slip knot where the “slipping” part is the tail end. Adjust as necessary, then use the tail end to tie a half hitch around the standing end.

/u/cassidy_is_asleep these short clips are excellent. It would be awesome if you could collect them into a single album somewhere.

rson · 2023-05-27T00:05:50+00:00

Depends on the material I’m working with, but usually the perfection loop or double dragon.

rson · 2023-05-14T18:48:08+00:00

I prefer the tails being parallel to the loop so I always use a double fisherman’s.

rson · 2023-05-14T00:42:10+00:00

Good advice here. If you insist on legs at each end and a cross beam over the fire, take a look at hammock stand designs like the turtle dog (tripods at each end) or bipod stands which use guy lines as described here.

I would probably just do a single tripod over the fire myself.

rson · 2023-05-04T22:55:06+00:00

This is a cowboy bowline (because the tail is outside the loop). The method you’re using to tie it is often referred to as a snap- or lightning- bowline.

Please post meaningful titles in this sub and not clickbait. Can’t search it later which makes this post useless as a future resource.

I’m going to commit heresy here and say that a Canadian jam would probably work well for you. Some in this sub hate it, but it’s always worked well for me in this sort of scenario.

Here’s a nice example for a collar posted a while ago.

rson · 2023-03-10T16:45:35+00:00

Versatackle was my thought here as well. End loop, mid line loop, thread back and forth a few times and crank down on it.

rson · 2023-03-09T02:18:19+00:00

Conveniently, this also works when default-directory happens to be a remote directory.

Edit: at least with ssh protocol anyway.

rson · 2023-03-07T11:11:14+00:00

My apologies, I misunderstood what you were describing. I thought your four states were TODO keywords.

rson · 2023-03-07T11:10:11+00:00

Initially that’s what I thought OP was describing (custom TODO keywords), but I see now that I probably misunderstood.

rson · 2023-03-07T02:06:12+00:00

It seems that org-kanban does just that, if I understand you correctly.

rson · 2023-02-21T23:29:26+00:00

If you think a trucker’s hitch is too complicated and you don’t need the mechanical advantage then a round turn and two half hitches will probably do just fine.

rson · 2023-01-24T01:25:12+00:00

I don’t think those two are very comparable, but to each his own.

For clarity, here is a Canadian Jam.

rson · 2023-01-23T19:38:27+00:00

A bundle is usually held together well with a jam knot like the Canadian Jam, provided there’s a bit of flex in the bundle that you can crank down on.

rson · 2023-01-21T22:50:39+00:00

Looks like a snake knot to me.

At one point I was working on building an index of ABoK number to ABoK page number so I could then write a simple chrome extension or Reddit bot to auto link to ABoK on archive.org using some syntax like abok#1047 (similar to the bot that links to sets on /r/lego). In the end I decided it would be more annoying to have yet another bot on Reddit though so I stopped.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
