Sorry if the title isn't clear. I'm using glowire as my tarp CRL. On one end I have bowline that I wrap around the tree and find some stick to use as a toggle. That end works pretty well with minimum fuss and abrasion. The other end I traditionally used a truckers hitch around the tree. The problem with this is that I notice after a while my line is getting frayed. In the interest of reducing stress on the tree and my line, I toyed with the idea of using another piece of glowire as a small strap and to tie a alpine butterfly knot to form a fixed loop for which I could use to feed my CRL end in through and perform a truckers hitch instead of going around the tree. I realized in the morning that the alpine butterfly loop was a bit hard to untie. I've looked up various other fixed line loops and the best I could find that won't bind is the bowline on a bight.
Curious to hear of any other no hardware approaches here to the above considerations!
