[QUOTE="pondnstream, post: 4079730, member: 7381"] OK, so I've learned to tie the bowline and bowline on a bight , and its pretty clear that either of those makes a good strong look thats easy to untie. So, I guess I wasted my money on a spliced loop at the end. Now, suppose that I have a 100' of rope and I want to make a 30' length of double line with a loop on each end. On one end , I put a bowline on a bight and that makes a nice strong loop . But doubled up , the rope is 50' long and I need just 30' (just an example) so I have extra rope but I want to make a nice strong, easy to untie, double loop knot. Is the standard field practice to make another bowline on a bight and just carry the extra line into the knot. I did this and it seems to work pretty well and is plenty strong and easy to untie. Or , is there a better knot for this purpose? Thx Tim [/QUOTE]
