The Anchor Bend

[CurSedVoyce]

Just a tip with the anchor hitch. I use this knot daily for my termination knot on my climb line and rigging as well.
Tip: After setting and dressing the knot leaving a decent at least 2x rope diameter tail (if no stopper) load the knot to help set. If you use a stopper, load to set. I prefer to do this before a stopper is added.
Sit in it as you would to check your system. Observe the knot's behaviour and condition.
Also. If you rig with this knot on a carabiner, and it is a tad stiff to undo, often you can just work the carabiner out and then pull the knot apart.
Please note that I am not recommending not using a stopper knot. Just that I generally do not use one as personal preference.

the beauty of buntline to me is just reliable and easy to undo, not the prettiest knot but very functional.
With good ropes never used a stopper

i just don't like the 2 wraps on the biner,

Why not

I like the anchor bend but you have to tie it right with the running part close to the long axis of the biner which might be why Kyle doesn't care for the two wraps. It's my go to for rigging lines that aren't spliced.

I just don't like it for connecting multiple ends for an eye to eye because the extra wraps. For a rigging line or something it's perfect. The buntline is going to cinch far tighter on a rigging situation, so i would be hesitant to use it there. On untying either i pull the biner first

Definitely a great knot. If you set it right I don't see a need for a stopper knot. All my terminations used to be that. Now I use the scaffold on my safety though.
