    Knot in ridgeline?

    This is a dumb question, but what purpose does the knot on one end of the ridgeline serve? There's a simple overhand knot tied on one end of my traveler ridgeline right before the loop.
    I figured it was for head end identification?

    Perhaps it is an oversight.

    some have it some don't. if the ridgeline comes out a tad longer than it is supposed to, we just put a knot in there, the knot reduces the length by about half inch.
