Richard, try tying them with a double fisherman's knot. I have all my equipment tied this way and I assure you that this knot is almost "undonable"... it is also used in some life dependable mountain rescue equipment, as proussiks... if you wish a "how-to", I can dig in my files, scan it and submit the image by private e-mail. Just let me know!
