neat knot, I wonder how well it works in round rope... ;-)
Ok. Now before we get too far along I vote that we give this knot a name people can remember.
How about...Hammock Bowline?

Neat knot for a notty problem that has many of us tied up.
I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
if you are going to put the extra wrap around the tree (aka a round turn) then just use a couple half hitches where the second hitch is slipped - before I used WS this was my method of securing the hammock to the tree - a "round turn and two half hitches" worked fine - the adjustability for me was actually at the end of the strap connected to the hammock - I used a single ring with a girth hitch where the girth hitch was easy enough to adjust and also acted as a drip point
Originally, it was a way to safely 'bow tie' a horse...
I would prefer to call it Mors Bowline.
The old shellback I used to work for always said, "Three round turns on a square post will hold anything, and a baby can hold the bitter end."
Tough to find square trees, but it almost works with round ones!
What a purty picture! You look so relaxed and comfortable!Originally Posted by GrizzlyAdams
