I do seem to recall a thread on this, but I wouldn't know what terms to search for. I think the consensus was that it would be a bad idea due to lack of friction or something. More knowledgable folks will chime in I'm sure, but I do think it's been discussed, and I've pondered it myself.
If you're talking about using two CL's instead of two rings to form a cinch for webbing, it does not work at all. I tried it in response to another member asking. I'm having no luck with search terms either.Originally Posted by skwatupu
nice tutorial
this is exactly what I need to do first. Thanks for making it so clear and easy to find!
That looks very good. Thanks for sharing these pictures. I don't think there should be any problems with those knots.
thanks for the help. Flawless results using the slide show. Thanks.
"Nothing could be more irrational than to give the people power and to withhold from them information, without which power is abused. A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both." - James Madison
made one at lunch today, was surprised how easy it was! more tonight!
Had a great time making a couple of these 12'' loops. My wife and daughters watched me make the 2nd. They were duly impressed (or they we pretending and putting up with their strange dad). Thanks for sharing the great information!
I came across this pdf using a better locking method. Less chance of anything working loose with the double buries.
I suspect, but have not tested that this would make a more reliable continuous loop.
I've made few and they were not not that much harder to make.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Interesting.
Though I wonder - in step 7, when you go to bury the remainder of the line end, why they suggest skipping 5 holes instead of starting the bury close to there the last pass through came out. By doing it their way, you end up with a small portion of the rope that's outside the bury … that seems like it could snag on something and pull out your bury.
