Oware Newbie Registered: 10/23/09 Posts: 42 Loc: 49th parallel	Release able taut line hitch. Make 3 passes around the rope instead of 2 heading toward the tie out point, then use a bight for the outside half hitch instead of the bitter end. Like a bow on shoe laces. Easier to undo in cold or wet conditions or when using loosely woven rope. A Northwest Outward Bound favorite for tarp tie outs. Bowlines used for critical conditions need a backup safety knot as they can become untied with rope movement. You tube knot tests. Flat overhand knot (tied like the joining knot for rappels) dry with backup knot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVTvsUJ6c...&playnext=1 wet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XZHZpNqF70&feature=related Figure eight tested to failure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_nU_HSqS8Y Prussics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNyilCyqJyE _________________________ blog.owareusa.com
