I find very few people that i try to teach can pick that method up. There are easier ways to learn, easier done than said tho.
If we ever meet Ron ill take up the challenge :p

Ron. It is not hard to learn, but if you do not do it regularly, especially early on after learning, it would be easy to forget.

When I learned the truckies hitch I practiced it regulary, sometimes sitting at the table. My lifestyle also has me doing it often, so to me it is now like ridding a bike.

If the loop that the arrow is going through in the first pic is made into a double loop, the rope won't pull through / slip off.

I've heard that Ron has a penchant for buying faulty goods, so he's more than likely been sold some faulty rope .....

Is a cow considered a load.... Do I use a strap or a rope to tie it down... and does the stuff that flows out the back end affect the rating of the restraint I need???:wasntme:
