I suppose my idea would be more used for some kind of hardware-ridge line solution to tarp suspension.
A year or so again I finally decided I wasn't so afraid of DIY - within my equipment range - and bought some amsteel. I became a loop/dogbone/whoopie sling/soft shackle making fool. I don't remember the machinations of the diamond knot for the soft shackle stopper, but I know I've made it (several times) and could watch it again on YouTube. There is also the simpler overhand knot with two passes around - a stopper shown on other youtube examples.
My Education stopped short of making an eye with only one end of the line available - primarily do to the complication of the multiple "inside out" maneuvers shown. Then I came across the one one mention in an earlier post in this tread. Very simple.
So once I knew how to make an eye, brummel locked, with only one end available, my next progression was, "I wonder if I could put something on that eye that only has one end available - and that led me to this post/tread.
I appreciate all the alternate suggestions. I do understand they are options towards a practical goal.
But I was just wondering, given the "magic" of forming a locked brummel eye using only one end of the line, if there was some additional hocus-pocus that would allow that "eye from one end of the line" to be attached to something.
Looks like the object in the eye on one end and the object larks headed to the line at the other end or the S weave with enough bury I can trust is as close as I can get.
