Re: Best Stopper Knots for Team Supplied Knots

As a sailor knots are pretty much second nature. When looking at 'popular' knots folks need to understand that strength is usually not the only concern. In many cases knots like the bowline are used because it's possible to untie one even after it's spent a year or two exposed to the elements under load.

All that said, I haven't seen anyone talking about how to tie a suitable stopper knot in webbing or cargo strapping that a lot of teams are planning on using.

Ideas?
