I'll also vouch for it's security, as I've never had one fail. Chuck, I’ve also used this for climbing and rappelling, as well as many other load-bearing situations.

It's a great load bearing knot (There is a way to add another knot with the working end into a twist in the running end ((*I think my terminology's correct))), we used to use it for tying off our "Ride" line. Never failed. Kind of scary to see you say "So whatever you’re temporarily tying in to an anchor, make sure it’s not yourself." That was the way we were taught, wish I would've been taught more rope work when I served. Hey Bryan,
