Nice Knot I Didn't Know

Does it hold on the newer 'hi-tech' lines like amsteel or dynaglide ? Guess I will be testing tonight ...

Curious did you ever confirm that it would work on the hi-tech lines?

I did not test it.

I have a Boy Scout camp out this weekend so i should have some 'rope time' to test it out.

i think for more slippery ropes youd fine the blakes hitch would be much more benefitial

Likewise here... Hanging with a crowd this weekend and I know we will be diddling around with line at some point. I'll check a couple of types.

Tried it on my tarp with Dyna & it seemed to work fine.
Pretty cool nice new knot for me as well.
Thanks to the op for sharing.

I'm not sure I'd trust this knot. it may look like a prussic knot, but all of the wraps are between the tension points. It remains me of the first half of a taught line hitch with a slippery wrap but no tail hitch which normally acts to tighten the whole knot if it starts to slide.

Don't know if I'd hang on it but it worked fine for the super fly tarp. Real easy to tie as well.
I also use a similar style knot for making dropper loops for surf fishing.

I mentioned this knot last year.

I wouldn't hang on it, but it's perfect for tarps

===> Flash taught me the knot this weekend at a hang, and I used it when I put new guy lines on a new tarp I bought. I used it with a fairly slick line - "Glowwire" from Lawson Kline, and the knot held just fine in the wind and rain that night! Actually, I had purchased some MSR round line tensioners, which did NOT hold on the Glowwire! This knot held perfectly, was easy to learn and tie, was super adjustable, and undid in a split second with the slipknot.

As a tarp knot, I will be using this from now on. Wouldn't hang on it, but don't need to with my whoopies anyway.

Thanks, Ted! Awesome knot!
