Anybody know id a strong slimline knot for my dogs longline? Its just a long rope for training and at the beach until Im confident in recalling him.

Oh come on man. Can't you just Google this and get an answer faster without starting a whole thread? You come to this place, shit up the board with your blatant laziness, and worst of all, you don't even post any pictures of doggo. Such a disappointment.

Of course I googled first... I just assumed there would be some god tier hammock knot or something somebody knew about.
>>717215
just cuz yet dog is eyeing that kid's vibrator - google "Bowline Knot", never failed me. just keep the loop small enough. add a snapshackle for ease of use.

Greatest knot available m9.
shit op, you must be hell in the woods, being that inventif..

This, the figure-eight followthru.
The figure-eight is the preferred knot of a lot of rope rescue technicians. Used to be bowline, but the figure-eight is much more secure.
I would probably loop through the clip, then just tie a normal overhand knot with the loop. AKA an european death knot.

What retarded directions. Just do normal figure eight with a bight.

Is there a best all around knot?
Strong and easy to untie, is my goal. Say for hanging a hammock, tieing something to tow? Utility essentially.
>>717970
There is no one best knot for every situation, but if you want a quick release, learn how to do a slippery half hitch behind a slip knot. Look on YouTube for the vid of ray mears explaining his hammock set up.
>>717982
Clarification: this is only for creating a loop to clip a hammock on to. If you use this to tow something, you'll die pretty quick.
IMO top five knots to learn are:
Bowline (also learn one handed method for safety)
Double fisherman's bend
Truckers' hitch
Clove hitch
Canadian Jam knot
As well as a good method of tying up a hank of loose rope
I am knot impressed guys...
I like the bowline a lot, with a Yosemite finish if you want extra security.

you're a retard. figure 8 on a bight does no good if you want the loop to go throw a solid metal ring. if you're going to use a figure 8 for this application it has to be a follow through.
i'd just pull bight through the ring and tie a double fisherman's back on itself-self tensioning, easy to undo, doesn't use a lot of rope, boom.

If it's going to be semi-permanent, ideally you want the loop to cinch tight around the ring so it doesn't slide around and fray.
Buntline hitch would work too.
>>718518
also, speaking of retards, if it's just to attach a clip to a dog leash you can still tie a figure 8 on a bight easily. Only need to use a rewoven figure 8 if the ring is fixed to something big.
>>718532
size of the object has nothing to do with anything. tie a figure 8 on a bight then try to get the bight through a solid metal ring. let me know how it works out.
>>718508
that's very secure i guess but if you want a better and more manageable system you should use the butterfly hank

it lets you easily free any given length of the rope wihtout unkotting the whole
