taught in the boy scouts still as a basic type of knot

simple and effective

easy to tie

not a knot I would use in tree climbing but certainly in general life

very old school indeed. was meant to be used on the old natural fiber ropes with the three strand braid.( houser braid?) however two cowboys at my work still use it so I geuss it all comes down to what your comfortable with.

When the main climbing line is wet i would imagine that this knot would be easier to release under load than a blakes for instance that would bight the main line too tightly under load and release too quickly. :001_smile:
