Unkown climbing knot

I have been using this climbing knot for a couple of months and I really like it but I dont know what it is. I just made it up one day. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

This guy that I work with climbs on that. We call it the McDonald. He is always trying to convert others to it. Sorry FV, I dont think you invented it. I think it is named after some McDonald guy.
 
I used to work with a guy who invented a knot once. Ten minutes later, he fell 15 feet when it failed. Yours does look like a real knot, and probably one someone else invented first, but Be Careful.

It is close but I start the knot with 4 wraps up and then around the front of the rope and then behind but I dont put the tail through the wraps. If that kind of makes sense.
 
Its funny-I think knots are just variations of other knots. Makes me think knots quit being invented along time ago....since all have the same concept but are slightly differn't. Now if you invented rope.....

Not even close - this is a Munter hitch:

tie a michuacan and then tie your knot and inspect closely. I think you will find that it is a michuacan (although backwards) no matter how you tie it. Are you by chance a southpaw?
 
yeah, that's the hitch I posted about a couple years ago, been using it since 99.

we have a single line demonstration that Spidey put together.

look up "shannon hitch"

that's the split tale version we had discussed, very nicely done

glad to see that it is being used in such a fashion. i like that system as well

I guess its a natural knot to devise, because I came across it in the same way
 
The "Martin" and the "michuacan" I believe you will find are the same knot. Martin is the name of the guy who made it and he then chose to name it the "michuacan" after a state in Mexico. FV I do believe that you are tying a "Martin" or "michuacan" call it what u will.
