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

@echoechoecho   that for actually tying Zeppelins Down then ?? Am intregued K
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!
