Interesting. I do both for canopy anchors. Depends on my mood and diameter of tie in point. I’ll still trust either one. I use the alpine with a steel biner when I get over 12” diameter. Usually when I’m down to a spar for the ease of adjusting the tail length for blocking down.
 
I really like that there is a way to tie a butterfly around something, cool! Thanks Richard.
 
That was pretty slick, the way he tied that butterfly.
Nice.

I didn’t want to be the first to say it for fear of sounding like the new guy that I am but I too was impressed with the way he tied the butterfly.
 
We’ve got a few breaking machines at work but the only data that comes out of them is “I just barely bumped it”
 
I special ordered a hydraulic gauge with a drag pointer, a little math and you can figure out the pounds of force. I put it on my homemade log splitter, I've tested materials break strength with it.
