Oh, dear.

Beats hiding under it!

Come now... @flushcut tells us almost anyone can beat that. You are going to have to up your game to stay on the porch with the big dogs, Scott :D.

You are of course correct, @cory. Spell check rears its ugly head :D. Thanks. I'll edit it.

Another thought to keep in mind...while an eye and biner for a running rigging attachment is certainly fast and convenient, we should always be aware of the potential danger of sideloading a biner against a round piece of wood.

"Easy to untie" may equate to or at least have a passing acquaintance with "easy to come untied". Worth a thought.

For that matter, it seems to me it would be slower than a traditional running bowline to tie. But that's just my impression, nothing empirical I can point to. I know I personally can tie a bowline in less than 3 seconds.

With a stiff handed rope it will fall apart in short order. Softer hand it will take more motion to do so, but will still fall apart.

Quite unrealistically depicted, but still I get the idea :). I mean, really?...figure 8 on a bight, on both ends? Mighty hard to cinch down and capture gain thataway :D.

That's a nice bit of rigging. New to me.

Just my thought, without anything to back it up re actual research...if you put a piece of stick, or anything actually, with a totally unknown breakage strength into a knot...well, you have absolutely no way to know or even guess what you will get.
