Shortly after I started doing tree work, just before I learned myself to splice, I used this knot. This was when I worked at The Care of Trees. Don't tell my foreman!!!

whoa nick, that is super sketch, a slipped anchor hitch i love it. that might be nice for some light rigging applications

I like dbl. fisher/scaffold knot for terminating my prussic so I can make them tight to minimize sit-back. Eyesplice on my climbing line.

i like slipped anchor for throwbag and other apps (like lowering in 2:1 style by self, then pulling this free next to me to unlace from load remotely). Kinda stole it from one bigger than life JP Sanborn; though he (if i understand correctly); slips the Standing, not the tail, for an emergency, remote release to this configuration so throwbag will drop to ground. i kinda didn't need that property, and had sum trouble with it too(witch reduced need for it even more...).

MTL:Slipped Anchor Hitch

In time; i'll incorporate this into my Knot-A-Player; but that will take more coding than i can muster presently!

I use a becket bend just make sure you dress it nice and some peolple say leave a tail and even a figure 8 cause it can walk if you don't tie it right. But my go to termination knot for sure is a double figure 8 its never let me down.

mostly i use an eye, but if i do tie in with a knot i usually use a figure-8 which is the rock climbing standard on a follow through it takes a minute to tie but its secure and easy to take apart after its been through a climb.

Double fisherman's when using a split tail or clove hitch for a closed system.

Almost all of the time I use a scaffold hitch. Since I SRT it's rare that I ever terminate a knot to 'myself'.

scaffold hitch or anchor hitch, in some situations a yosemite variant bowline
