Knot i.d.

Lignotuber · Feb 8, 2022

Anyone know what you call this one? For some reason I got in the habit of occasionally using it for truckers hitches since it unties easily after loads, doesn't take up much rope, and doesn't slip. Basically a girth hitch with an unfinished bite through it.

"Knot i.d." = "Knot I Developed" sounds about right to me.
Some folks like to name things after their "inventors"; but I'm not sure that extends to "Lignotuber" ? (tho' "LignoLoops" has a sort of ring to it.)
One can do the same thing by putting in a bowline w/that bight, btw.

I doubt it's a new knot, would be cool though lol. Bowline on a bite is good, I kinda like how I can just pop it undone by pulling the "unfinished' bite when done. More stable than slip knot..
