The Allen Edwards' 'modified water bowline with a tuck'
Ha, my captions on moving cursor along video timeline
give "water balloon" and later "carrot" (carrick) !!
(link two posts above) seems less convoluted.
"Convoluted"? --vs. what, the Mirror'd BWL ?!
Then you mustn't be understanding this :: simply
a BWL both "going & coming" --one repeats a well-known
action in the opposite direction, to both sides of a formed
larkshead base structure vs. single turNip.
This should not be misconstrued as convoluted.
(And it gives great slack-security by hindering further
loosening --from what begins as a non-snug-tight knot !)
That Allen's BWL which comes at the central clove
hitch from the opposite direction --but I'd not claim
"convoluted"-- should also hold (and he thinks so).
Noting that "hold" and "give adequate-to-good strength"
are separate things.
Also, NautiKnots in an earlier post swears by the Angler's loop.
Have others tried it on naked Dyneema at higher loads?
If it works, this could be the simplest...
Ack, I'd missed that nice information!
But nb : "3mm Amsteel Blue (a urethane coated Dyneema SK-75 single braid)"
which might well, as he allows, perform differently than thicker stuff; also,
"urethane coated" is that, so not purely bare --I think that the coating will
be less slippery than pure.
So, in "rope", I'd expect the tail to pull out. And its simplest tying
is that w/o ends, not an option for tie-in knots e.g.. Now, note also
that Nautiknots cites using Angler's Loop variants --taking a good start
AND THEN putting in adjustments for the slippery task. So, one might
care to look at these.
(It's that sometimes when seeing what happens with
HMPE --heck, even that 7mm accessory cord shown
by the slackline guy(s) !!--, with such *fluidity*, one
can feel that there's no hope!
Then, on the other hand, one sees cases of holding
to rupture.)
