Jolly Loggerr Said "To be clear, it was your rope choice that failed you, not your knot choices."No I dont think it is clear. But I can add clarity. I had a long enough, strong enough 1/2" nylon braided rope to do the job and at 1500 pounds plus side pull extra tension the alpine butterfly knot jammed hard. I have used the rope for 15 years towing stuck 4x4 vehicles and using nothing but half hitches. The rope did not fail.... The knot failed to untie. I believe there are probably better choices of knots and or techniques such as using stakes in the knot that would have allowed me to untie.
