@cory to me that seems like it would lock down very hard since it's basically a noose or a fisherman's, and a simple clove hitch would be just as good for a 3 to one like that, as would a triple bowline, alpine butterfly, catspaw, or a ton of other knots.

Yup, works just fine. That way you can tension it, and it won't go anywhere and is easy to untie. Pretty much the quickest way to secure the ends and get back to doing what needs done.

It's handy and I've seen that a bunch, but I'm not a fan because it can shake loose, especially if the load shifts and the strap becomes loose. If that happens it will vibrate violently, and pipe (surprise my most common item I'm tying down) is very prone to shifting. I coil then wrap with the...

Yeah that's a poldo tackle, but in little string, not a 1.5 inch thick belt. Think wayyyyyy heavier and bigger stuff, or basically a sling that you can adjust simply by sliding.

That's the thing, they don't tension up like you think it would, but it will stay in place once it's set. I suppose you could sweat the line and slide it up, but there's other knots that tension a line better. What it is good for (talking about the poldo tackle here) is adjusting a sling length...

That's kinda like a poldo tackle, and I've used a poldo for an adjustable leg when rigging. They don't work really well for tightening on a load in my experience, but they work great for having an adjustable sling when rigging certain stuff in a pinch.
