Stopperstek

Application

With the stopper bar you can relieve ropes under tension. For example, when tightening a rope.

Or you can make a loop that is tight under tension but still adjustable. This can be used to tension a tent

If the knot doesn't hold, simply wrap the rope around the rope more times in step one. This can be the case for thin ropes.

Tying

Wrap the rope 2 to 6 times around the rope you want to clamp. (Wrap in the direction you want to load the knot.)

||

Wrap the rope over the wraps.

||

Wrap the rope around the rope again.

||

And pull it under the wrap.

||

Tighten and you're done.
