Thats kind of how these started out. I was using the loop and a double stevedore knot as a stopper. Someone happened to post something on the other forum about how they did it and the dealeebobs came up in that discussion. Problem I had with the stopper knot was the loop had to be smaller which made it a little more fiddly. With the plastic stopper I can enlarge the loop quite a bit and still use a lot less material overall. Somewhere along the line I started seizing the loop instead of knotting it. For usability with gloves on you could probably just make the whole thing a loop, pretty much like an un-adjustable dealeebob.gmcpcs wrote:Good idea!
I use something pretty similar, I just take loops of shock cord, (since I have a roll with a million miles on it) make a loop knotted on one end, and tie the other off into a larger knot. So I just slip it around, and feed the knot through the smaller loop. I will still be trying to make me some snakeskins, once I get another tarp made, and another hammock, etc.
Take it easy,
