Trying to decipher and tie this suggested composite knot....
Just Do It!
The simple scheme actually should need no particular
instructions :: connect to harness w/
clove h.(for reasons indicated); leave long enough tail so
to be able to put in a
bowlineand then thread tail back through hitch,
and ... .
Frankly, as I write this, the main point is having
the eye knot snug to the hitch AND the hitch's
tail of course used in the eye (done in tying the
eye knot).
At this point --never mind the threading through
hitch, and then further, through eye knot--,
there should be that security-via-abutting aspect.
BUT, the tucking at least in the first case does
add a factor; then the last tucking added that
"3rd diameter" (but one could skip the troublesome
tucking and do this directly).
Note that in some earlier and more complicated
formulation, I had a
strangle gripping the eye's tail,
being tyed first in hitch tail,
so to be a possible stopper if ... (incredible loosening occurred).
That's admittedly going far in defence for unlikely scenario.
But the binder couldn't untie/loosen so long as it was between
the hitch & eye --more of the "abutting" factor.
.:. So, in some simpler ways, one can get hitch-wise
load distribution and maybe tail-nipping.
(And I wonder at the repeated rope movement of the
turNip of a repeatedly fallen upon (working some "sport
route")
bowline?! (Consider that with all of the
possible tucking in the most-tucked case, there'd be
3 strands in the turNip, and the outgoing eye leg
connecting eye knot to hitch :: what are the tensions
on those? --I'm thinking that the outgoing eye leg
gets well less than usual, unless the SPart draws
heavily around into it?! 100% going to 4x25% ?!
