What knot?

I am not sure, but would a bowline or a double figure eight work?

Both would work great, but I'm curious about that specific knot.

I'm not sure what the name of it is. But, it looks like a knot that I use a lot for the purpose shown in the picture.

I make a loop, wrap the short end around the long end twice, bring the short end up behind the loop, go through the loop and both wraps, pull tight.

It looks like a double overhand noose to me, which is very similar to what Robert describes. Thoughts?

It’s a bowline, if they’re following their own PCT methods in the link they provide on bear-bang hanging methods.

That's what I thought at first, too. But the bowline can't be cinched and in the picture the knot is cinched down on the carabiner. Also, the knot in the picture is the wrong shape for a bowline: the tag end is wrapped twice over the standing end.

Preston and Robert,

Thanks for the info. I've learned a new knot. Although I can think of a few knots that are easier to tie (like the buntline), I really like how pretty this knot lays. I'll definitely add it to my repertoire.

Thanks again!!!

Chris

Chris,

I like the double overhand noose, too. It looks like a very strong knot that's easy to tie.
