List,
When I went through and de-zip-tied my gear, I used a knot that I learned
back in (grin) the boy scouts... when I learned it, they called it the
water knot, but I'm not sure that's the right name. Anyway, here's how
I've tied everything together, and it holds rock-solid. Conceptually, it's
a pretty easy knot to describe, but it's a pain in the ass to tie
right. All you need is to tie an overhand knot in one of the loose ends,
then take your other standing end and follow the first line back through
the knot backwards. Once you cinch it up, it doesn't move. It's about as
solid a knot as I've ever seen... I've used it on everything from backup
lights to my fin straps (home built springs)
