For anyone else who could barely understand that guy as he mumbled the name of the knot he demonstrated in the TreeStuff video @lxskllr shared, it's an extremely obscure, unidirectional midline knot called the Rosenbein Cinch. I just scoured the interwebs for any information about it and its...

Wow, never seen that knot nor this video before and I created an almost identical, novel, midline knot for mechanical advantage also. I named it the "Static Klemheist," except, after posting the video, I realized it's actually a static Hedden. Unlike the knot in the video, mine is tied slightly...

I'm trying to visualize all of this, @Tree09. Looks like there are multiple ways to perform a Poldo Tackle. Is this video a good representation of what you used? What about this video?

The Voodoo, as shown in the diagram, is pretty useless in my opinion. There's way too much friction and it probably will not tension a line very much or very easily. If you incorporate a pulley, or even two pulleys into it, careful to leave one of the sections with natural friction, you could...

Haha, this guy and is "instructors" probably spent weeks or months trying to optimize tripod construction with minimal cordage and, meanwhile, somewhere in Maryland, @lxskllr has been doing this for years! =-D

Anyone ever use the Voodoo tensioning system? Click the link to learn more about it... https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/the-voodoo-hitch-a-magic-tensioning-hitch

That would depend heavily on the diameter of the stick/spike and which strand(s) it pierces through in any given knot. I do know that introducing a stick/spike into certain regions of certain knots can increase the bend radius of the rope or cordage being used, therefore increases the overall...

I would agree with this statement. I would definitely encourage the use of a stopper knot.

I created and developed a new cinching knot that requires a good amount of force in order to cinch the loop down, making it more like a knot that is somewhere in between a slipped and fixed loop. Obviously, it must be classified as slipped, though. It is very easy to tie and very secure based on...
