You just described my setup!

take the loop that goes round the "exit" rope & bend it back. Instanly loosens it all. (obviously no can do if it's still under tension, but thetre are other knots for that sort of game.)

Coz you still have to tie the rope to the hook?


How many posts was the hole drilling thread again? - anyone want to try to beat it?

Try an anchor hitch. Neat and will not untie
