Just because I read the instructions doesn’t mean I need to follow them.

    It’s superior by far when you may want to ever actually u tie the rope. But my experience with some ropes is that the action of loading and unloading or otherwise jostling the knot can cause it to come loose.

    I sometimes tie off the loose ends together to prevent that but it’s hella ugly and bulky.

    Any advice on using this knot?

      That is why I used this rather than the reef knot. This wont come undone when not under constant tension.

      If you need extra security it’s often better to tie a stopper knot in the ends of the lines rather than tying them together.
