Best knot for temp joining 2 ropes??

[drinksloe]

Alright

 

I hope this is n the right place??

 

This week my nice long rigging rope has been tested to destruction a couple of times with harvesters/forwarders pulling trees out off gullies and over. Althou I had had it a while.

So I now have 3 not so long rigging ropes.

There still mainly 20m plus so not a bad length and far easier to work with than the big 1 if u only need a short rope.

 

But my question wot knots are best to join the 2 when I need say for pulling through a redirect!?

But I want knots to come out!!!!

I ended up just with 2 bowlines test, and it worked but didn't really like the rope pulling loop to loop.

 

I know reef knots, sheet bend or double fisherman's are better knots for joining ropes but would they come out after u have had a tirfor on them?

 

Cheers

Single bowline but out of the two separate ropes (one rope is your hole/tree, the other end is your rabbit). Not technically a sheet bend but very similar.

Try a reef knot in the middle of the double fishermans, or if winching clip a krab or shackle into the centre of the knot before tightening

A zeppelin bend is strong and easy to untie afterwards.

Reliable bend, easy to untie after being heavily loaded but not, however, while still under load. The Zeppelin Bend employs interlocking overhand knots.

I was given a book of knots when I was a kid and spent one summer learning to tie all of them (I had an exciting childhood!) I can't recall some of the more complicated and obscure knots now, but a lot of the simpler ones have been useful.

According to Wikipedia the connection to zeppelins is disputed. I still like the name!

@echoechoecho  read Henning Boetius book on Hindenburg crash ( The Phoenix)  astonishing detail, but does not mention any zeppelin hitch. K
