If you make a knot, bowline or on a bight in a ****** strap that gets
used to pull something out of mud say, better make it a pretty one
because that knot will be very likely permanent.
There 'is' a reason they put loops on ****** straps. The loop on the
end is super easy to mate up with the loop on the next strap to make
extensions. These even get pretty tight, so folks stick a dowel or
stick in the mating area of the loops to help pry it open.
It is easy. You hold the loop of the first strap up in the air and put
the loop of the second strap 'over' it. You then take the far end of
the second strap and pass it 'through' the loop of the first strap.
This gives you a figure 8 knot that you can put a stick into to help it
open later.
