Thank you for posting this. Nice tip on how to insert the webbing using a piece of wire. Cheers.

Nice video. I like the angle cut, pocket and hanger trick. I'll use tonight.
Thanks Eric.

Do we know the approximate percent strength reduction for this one?

[@ericforsman7787]

According to the book "On Rope" by Smith and Padgett, the beer knot retains about 80% of the breaking strength of the rope.

Odd name for a knot given what I just saw

[@ericforsman7787]

I have no idea who originally named this knot.

It's called the beer knot cos it's better than the water knot... And beer is better than water 🤣
As far as I know, that's legit the reason.
