safety bead alternative for whoopie?

[alrany187]

GrizzlyAdams uses an end whipping knot that serves a dual purpose: first, it secures the loop to the toggle so it doesn't slip off the knot. Second, it keeps the loop from pulling back into itself. Here is a link to a video he made that shows you how to tie it (the part you're after starts at around 3:30):

Actually, it can be a triple purpose.

1. It serves as the safety bead".
2. It can be tied to the toggle.
3. It will cinch the whoopie sling over the Marlin Spike Hitch for better security.

I attached my toggle with a locked brummel and then buried it and it decreased the chance of the toggle tangling up.
