How to tighten correctly a knot using dyneema or spectra…
Learnt this today, can be useful to others.
- The Buntline Hitch(basically a tie knot!)
A more secure version is the eStar. More details here:
Just for the info, Clove Hitch <> Buntline Hitch
They look the same, but small difference make the clove hitch break at lower load (so they say…), which is usually well below 50% of the line nominal load (such a difference was a surprise to me).
Anyway, if it worked until, you’re probably ok with what you have (if it doesn’t break, don’t fix it).
