Hold the rubber ring in place Adjust the position of the ring _________________________ Happily tangled in my nets at http://pineapple.myfunforum.org/index.php?c=7

TonyE Enthusiast Registered: 08/16/13 Posts: 342 Loc: eastern PA	Originally Posted By: EMPnotImplyNuclear Why? Following your specifications. It is a fixed loop. It will not slip. The standing end will serve as your lanyard. It is an attractive knot _________________________ Happily tangled in my nets at http://pineapple.myfunforum.org/index.php?c=7

hikermor Geezer in Chief Geezer Registered: 08/26/06 Posts: 7705 Loc: southern Cal	This is an honest question. i am not trying to nag or be picky. Why would (k)not a bowline, figure eight, or even a simple overhand knot work just as well? I use all of those in technical climbing and rigging applications. Properly tied and dressed, they do not slip, either. Any knot which works well is attractive,IMHO. _________________________ Geezer in Chief

M_a_x Veteran Registered: 08/16/02 Posts: 1207 Loc: Germany	To some degree the answer is arbitrary. Many knots would do the trick. I might have suggested the bowline. It would be a matter of preference for me. _________________________ If it isn´t broken, it doesn´t have enough features yet.
