I have recently discovered a new knot which for me has made the evenk knot totally redundant
I now use it for tying hammocks, basha's etc (everything i used to use the evenk for)
its quicker to tie, uses only one hand (you dont even support the rope with the other hand :shock: at no point does your other hand touch the rope) and is quick release
Its called the falconers knot and is used by falconers to tie off their falcons, it is totally one handed to tie and release (because they have a falcon in the other hand :-D )
the only draw back i can see with this knot is that you cant tie it whilst wearing mittens (but then how often do i wear mittens)
I have been searching the web to try and find a diagram of the knot to put up in this post but i cant find one, if anyone finds a diagram please put it up
