I guess my problem with it is it creates mental clutter. I don't see it being useful for anything when a sheet bend uses all the same hand motions, and basically the same tucks, but it works. I wouldn't use a sheet bend anywhere where failure would be bad, but I don't think I've ever had a...

It's garbage. A sheet bend is close enough to being identical, and will work in any line you can tie a bend in. It can also be made slippery. The Lapp's unique contribution is it fails.

What's up with the Lapp bend? That thing's garbage. I can pull it apart with only moderate pull. I'm using slippery polypro line, but still... I can't think of any reason I'd want to use that over the sheet bend unless I was excited to lose my load.

I think that's the one I was looking for when I was digging in Hunicke videos. I can't find the one I saw, but it was an alternate method, and it left the tail outside. Dunno if the primary method did. One problem I have with these videos is almost everyone ties it backward from the way I do...

You could make it fun and use different hands for each video. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=costume+hands :^P

I found this in the Tree Climbers Companion. Maybe that's what I remember seeing...

I was looking up how to tie a bowline wrong(haven't found it yet), and ran across this... Why did I want to know how to tie a bowline wrong? I was looking for a speed tying video, and Hunicke showed one that left the tail on the outside of the loop. I don't like the way that looks, and I feel...

Rabbit here too. I've seen some pretty slick speed tying methods, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around them. I'm not sure doing it fast matters aside from looking impressive. Some day, I'll spend some time working on speed tying, but I like the certainty of doing it the way I've always...
