Grand Trunk stuff sack

[hiker_DC]

My new Nano 7 arrived in the mail the other day One of the things that intrigued me was the "cord lock" on the stuff sack. Basically it is a knotted piece of cord that slides up and down the main cinch line of the sack. Even though it slides easily, the knot stays where you put . . . it keeps the stuff sack closed. Talk about ultra light. My question is what kind of knot is it?

A picture would help.

I have used something like a triple or quad fisherman's bend to do what you are describing. It worked well.

A picture would help.

Probably not. In order to secure it, the cord has been melted so that the bends and tucks are hard to make out.

yea, I noticed this too. Initially I thought it was just a knot they tied to keep it closed for shipping then I discovered it slid up and down. What a cool idea to save some weight.

I thought it looked like a Prusik Knot with the loop and ends melted together. I have used this same method on my stuff sacks and have found that it works really well.

I noticed that as well. It appears to be a pair of overhand knots, or some sort of plain knot, melted together. I spent quite a while pulling at that thing until it shifted and I realized what it was. It was very snug. Cool solution to the UL cord lock.

is there a picture anywhere?

Looks like there are asome half hitches involved in it, but I can't make out the initial knot.
