In an emergency a Figure 8 knot will achieve the same effect (i.e. putting a loop in the middle of a rope).
Once you load the Figure 8 up with serious weight, I assume that it becomes very difficult to untie.
Can anyone confirm whether the Alpine Butterfly unties easily once it has been loaded?
I'll have a play with the Alpine Butterfly next time I'm out bush and have a spare carabiner with me to hook my tarp to the loop.
