Yeah, I didn't mean that this was better or worse than any other method, just that it's been working better for me...YMMV...

It probably stays more snug because of the double overlapped wrap, vs the crossover in back & knot in front in the STM vid. The analogy that comes immediately to mind is the grip of a winch cable on the drum being the result of multiple wraps around the drum, rather than the eye being bolted to the drum.

I'm sure there's some amalgamation of the two...time for some experimentation.

Was your wrap/tuck method similar to what I'm doing at the moment?
