    Thanks for your wisdom on hard-to-untie knots, I'll definitely give this a try when needed!

    I had tried a similar method involving wrapping around the tree but my issue with this was needing an extra long CRL in case I found some bigger trees. But a lot of the time I ended up not needing it...
