Hey all. I've recently started using the Distel for my lanyard hitch. It works great. I'm using 10mm Bee Line. I have been playing around with HRC cord. Using the same Distel with the same wraps, the Distel slips after having been advanced a foot or so. I gave it an extra wrap and it now holds but is considerably harder to pull through. I took the original wraps on the HRC Distel and captured it on the opposite side of the rope. It seems to work pretty good that way. Easy to pull through and grabs 100% of the time so far. Is it still a Distel when captured from the opposite side of the rope? Is it magically turned into some strange knot that is dangerous? I don't think so. Just wondering if anyone has done this or not. Thanks for the advice and opinions from the pros.
The one on the left is the Bee Line tied correctly. The one on the right us the HRC tied opposite.
