Non-tightening knot?

[Big 'Ammer]

I pulled over a dozen 50' trees yesterday on the same midline bowline.

 

No stick or combi spanner or whatever, came undone so easy, my four year old could have undone it.

 

Maybe its how you tie it, or you use a huge hinge?

Huge hinge = Gaylord

What knot did you end up using?

 

I woulda just gone for a doubled up bowline, used this to pull trucks out of fields and has always undone with ease.

 

When pulling trees over I use a wagoners hitch to get some tension plus it always comes undone afterwards. Dunno if it would work with a winch though!

Try using a fig 9 on a bight.

 

You just add an extra half twist to a Fig 8.
