If I had to guess I would say he's got a setup similiar to the paint drawing at the beginning of this thread. There is a pictorial I did of the knot in the DIY forum https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/....php?p=1469912
A better question would be what he's using as a toggle. Based on my previous testing the wrong toggle material will allow the knot to slide. My guess would be wooden dowel or trail stick. If he's gotten it to work with an arrow shaft ill be impressed... and also disappointed because I'm probably too fat to use it. Lol

Kinda like how I bundle the excess whoopie line and tuck it into the fixed eye to be held by tension. But this time it's actually serving a functional purpose as opposed to neurotic purpose. I can't stand excess lines hanging and swinging all over
That's also my preferred solution right now. The best option so far ive tried as far as just in terms of stopping slippage is a wooden dowel. The problem with that though is the wood compresses under the Amsteel and you end up with an "hour glass" shape. That makes it difficult to untie because you can't just pull it out. If you used a trail stick you might be able to just break it to take it out.
I've used two bites on the tail of the working end in the manner showed before with good success testing in the basement. I took it out yesterday to test and strangely one side slipped the first time I set it up. I re-tied a couple more times and it held. Not sure what was going on.

Maybe the new Amsteel is slightly slicker than the set I'm using at home. I think in close to a reliable solution with this set up. If I get it working I might experiment some more with the dynaglide.
