That is the stock ENO knot...no idea what it's called. Don't try to replicate it. Just thread your loop through the channel, and then back through itself to form a larkshead knot.
and then what would be the best way to attatch the cinch buckle? thats where i keep getting a brain fart lol i can do engineering but cant figure these knots out lol!Quote:

What kind of cinch buckles do you have?
If you have the kind from AHE you need to put the amsteel or whatever cordage you are using through the two buckles and then make the continuous loop. It is not recommended to larkshead a loop through the two buckles as it could affect their proper use.
That's a pic from my ENO.
The pic is of Spyderline tied in a prussik knot on a cinch buckle, then the standing ends of the line are run through the hammock end channel and tied back onto itself via a bowline knot. Very secure.
Like the others say, tie the prussik first.
they are the stainless steel buckles from onrope1 and i got it all situated with a small variation over the stock knot with a doublefishermans to close the loop for the hammock now to a larkshead to the buckle ill get some pictures up tomorrow for what your oppinions are and to get more advice but for now its up in my room and im going to sleep in it cause it is calling for me!!Quote:

If you want to try..
start by forming two loops through the channel. ie..make 2 eyes/circles and tie the ends together.
The other piece is just knotting in the bight like a truckers hitch.
