I still haven’t quite got my delivery down but it was said partially in jest and partially with adoration. John and I have messaged in private and I believe he knows that. Besides there’s no such thing as bad publicity….
I was simply noticing a few little inconsistencies…. John has obviously put in his time and effort to make the system work and he’s growing a fan base because of it, but sometimes the simple more classic methods just work. Car manufacturers never reinvented the shape of the wheel because round works….. I apply that logic accordingly
Gents, its all good. You're correct in calling me out that I never really considered the formation of a munter to fall into the category of "tying a knot". My rationale is just that the munter is formed not tied. Its formed loosely using rope, not paracord so we can do it with our gloves on and cold fingers. Typically when I put it on, i am ending my hunt, not in a rush, and have as much time as I need to get it right. Lastly, i feel that tying my shoes is much more complex than Munter, but thats me... anything we tie requires practice, even the simplest knots. If anyone doesn't agree or feel comfortable using it, or just doesn't have the hang of it, please don't attempt it. I am just sharing what I do.
As for Clove hitches or Bull Hitches or half hitches or square knots, do what you like, but I have left a tree at night in frigid situations where my fingers just didn't work. The last thing i wanna do is take off my gloves to put the paracord back on the rope to return my preset. Clips are simple.
As for the end loop, yes, there's other ways to rig a rope. It's a detail. But that's where i wound up as the best solution after testing through the ring around the roughest bark trees, and 2f+t thick. I had to pull as hard as I can sometimes. I can't have a heat shrink tube pull off. I wanted something that supports my body weight reliably even though its not for climbing... that's just about the most force i can generate. Thx for the scrutiny. Scrutiny is good.
