There is no reason to ever use this /out/ and lots of reasons not to.
>>2722403
The alpine butterfly is incredibly useful.
Most out situations you should use a taut-line never a truckers hitch. A truckers hitch is for securing loads a Taut Line is for creating in line tension using an adjustable knot. If you are securing a tent or tarp to an anchor the taut-line is better in almost every way.';

A bit off topic, but how much does it pay to climb and how many days out of the year do you work? From what I know about it, it sounds like a dream job';

'>>2722913
>how much does it pay to climb
Not as much as you'd think, especially if you're working for one of the big tower co's (sba, crown castle, etc). I'd bet now it's $20-25/hr starting.
I own my business, so I get to charge a lot more but I'm also buying all my own climbing gear, rope, vehicles, insurance, insurance, taxes, insurance, training/recertification, insurance, more gear, computers, test equipment, tools, etc. I've probably got $100k in tools and test gear that a company would provide for you as an employee.

>how many days out of the year do you work
Because I own the business and take care of scheduling, I can pick the days/towers/etc I want to work. Climbing isn't my only "job", it's another service I provide. The tower I was on last week is the first tower i've been on in ~5 months. There's weeks I spend 10-12 hours a day hanging on a rope. Those are good months.

Working for a tower co, you'll probably be travelling, working 5-10 day jobs with a day of travel on either end, and a couple days off. A local company (WISP or small tower service co) may be more regular 8-5 m-f with some on-call/weekend/emergency/outage type work.
The work slows down in the winter, so you might get cut loose in the fall if you're not hired as a seasonal employee from the get-go.

The big co's work you like a dog, but provide training and equipment with opportunity to advance into team lead/supervisor roles. Easier to get into since they have onboarding/HR staff.
Small co's may provide training and minimum gear (Buy a nice/comfortable harness, even if it's out of your own paycheck. Worth it.), but pay may not be that great. The crews are a lot happier and they're better people to work with though. Easier to get into these jobs if you have training/experience and a foot in the industry already; difficult to get into as a walk-in applicant.

That "Fall" movie is fucking retarded. Check out "Vertical Freedom" for something more relevant/realistic.';

'A noose knot with a slip is pretty much all I tie theese days, excluding fishing';

'if you don't know a knot, tie alot';

'>>2722195
Unironically a noose knot, super helpful for when you’re making a single tie down. I lost my hammock straps and instead use this knot to keep it secured to the tree.

Also helpful if you want to hang someone or yourself, but don’t do that :(';

Trucker's hitch is for pulling on shit harder, you can use it on anything. You can adjust tension and secure the line just as easily with it as with the taut line. The taught line can slide further easily and you can kinda leave it in place when not under tension but there's basically no scenario where taut line would do anything a trucker's hitch wouldn't, whilte the opposite is not true. There's not much reason to use it unless you're already used to it.';

Does anyone know a good knot for creating a loop?
I need something for the purpose of securing a bunch of tent pegs together instead of having them rattle around a bag.';

'>>2723473
On the end of the rope - bowline. On the middle - alpine butterfly.

For tying rope around things you can just use the square knot/shoelace knot like a normal person instead. A trucker's hitch using the aforementioned alpine loop if you really need to crank it tight but that's probably not what you're looking for.';

'>>2723473
Tautline hitch works well for tying an adjustable loop around things that you can sinch down.';

>"it's for pulling shit harder" "you can use it for anything"
>"use it for anything"
no, you can't and you are very clearly extremly stupid.

If your tautline slides you didn't tie it right--thanks again for verifying you're retarded and don't know what you're talking about.';

'>>2723480
JFC You're dumb.
Constrictor knot is the easiest and it's adjustable.
All of your other suggestions are terrible solutions. Tying a truckers knot on a small stack of tent stakes is fucking retarded.';

Is there some kind of taut line schizo on /out/ that i don't know about? Wtf is this austistic shilling of a mediocre know?

>All of your other suggestions are terrible solutions.
He asked about a loop, i named him some loops. He probably meant loops as a way to tie the stakes together but i gave an answer to both anyway.';
