InLIne FIgure-8
There may be times where you have one end of the
rope anchored and you need a loop that can be
pulled against the anchor. Although the figure-8 and
butterfly loops will work, there is a better solution
that is also super easy: the inline figure-8.
1. start by making a bight pointed away from the anchor.
2. Then tie a regular figure-8 loop but only wrap around the line
that goes to the anchor.
3. snug up both the loop and the working end of the rope.
