I'm pretty sure they were using a porty.

I use overhand knots for that, also. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ysychgVYs2g&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed...

If I think I'm gonna strain the bowline, I'll slap a half hitch in front of it, too.

Not the way I tie it. I must be doing something wrong? No clove hitch ever, here. Running bowline every time.

So a marl = overhand knot? I mean, from your statement, how can it not be otherwise?

Cool, I've been schooled. Marls instead of half-hitchs - only I'm a tad confused exactly what the difference is.

Yea, there isn't a guarantee it'll hold every time. It'll usually hold good enough to swing away and hopefully miss the target, but I hate relying on "hope."

I didn't invent it, somebody showed me.

Ya'll know I was born in Texas, eh.

Yes, it's meant for entire limbs.

Yea, it's a pee-tah!

The "book" always complicates things,

It was this thread at ArbTalk that got me thinking.

I could be completely wrong calling this the Fishpole Technique.

It primarily has more to do with spreading out the shock load, so to speak. If you're lucky, a lot of times it WILL hold the limb together when it busts apart.

This is how I use it on something that might bust up when loaded. How about ya'll?
