One more hammock-to-strap knot

[Frawg]

Towing makes knife knots, ...

Never heard that term before; are those knots that you need a knife to 'untie'? (Alexander style)

Never heard that term before...

Ashley's uses a wedding band graphic to denote "Difficult to Untie." He should have used a knife!

Thanks, MacEntyre!

When using a toggle, one can as well tie marlinespike hitch (with the straps I have - I have to add one more loop to the original hitch to make it stable). My idea behind this simple exploding knot is is to hang without using the toggles, but with all the benefits .

Your idea is a good one, Luke. MacEntyre's point about using a toggle is that some knots can become almost impossible to untie once they've been heavily loaded. A toggle inside the knot prevents that. Anyway, it's unlikely to happen with the materials and method you are using.

I don't like all this hooks, rings, all this metal stuff.

Luke, I agree, I would like to reduce as much metal as possible from my suspension. I really like this idea. Thank You.

I just came across this particular knot (I think) on an arborist site, where it's called the "Quick Hitch".

I'm happy it is useful.
And yes, this is the same hitch I use. Nice to know how its called in the right way. Thanks once again.
