10 Second Soft Shackles - Part 2

[@briancrossley1710]

How about a video showing strength tests on all of these shackles?

I have been meaning to do one of these for some time. I need to buy a load test tool to be able to do this !!! Once I get one it will make a great video

You should check out HowNot2. He break tests all sorts of stuff including soft shackles.

I have the Ashley book of knots, and I agree with him when he says, getting more elaborate than necessary or adding more than needed to any knot 🪢 usually ends up detracting from what you're trying to accomplish.

Hard to challenge or disagree with the author of the knot bible. On the flip side if does allow us to dream up more content 😌

Stopper knots need not to pull through. Some like the overhand knot are not to be trusted. It is not the size of the stopper knot per se but the size of the base of the knot.

Very true, that is why I love the Ashely Stopper knot for a clean square edge.
