deez knots

[GeorgeC]

After a couple years, the lines were starting to look grungy, so I washed them and plasti-dipped them.

soon enough, the hole will fill back up with protective sand and dirt.

I finally had a proper fit and got a greenworks cordless shopvac to clean those out.

It's been windy and this one hasn't budged.

Starts like #1855 with a few extra turns, finished like #1857, with an overhand stopper knot to maintain tension.

Nice.
I found it strange that the Stopper isn't listed in the 'List of Knots' for some reason.

Try some form of tent, taut line, or clothesline hitch.

Sometimes I sit on my hand for a while then tie my plane down. I call it the stranger.

Rope is ok, but I bring ratcheting tie downs instead.

If rope is all I have I use a bowline at the ground tie down and a double hitch consisting of two half hitch’s followed by a taut line to use the remainder of the slack.

If I made a second one, then what a pair I'd have.

I hope that knot holds up, cause u wouldn't want to bust a knot.

Turns out, West Marine will splice eyes for a modest fee.

So it begins...
