Favorite anchor knot

Can we see the inline 8? i been using the butterfly for midline knot loop. Even for lowering loads with a loweringline and built in tag line, as butterfly carries a sling/'biner hitched to the load.

Isn't an in line 8 just a figure 8 attached to the line?

 

[Kneejerk Bombas]

I guess not.
The figure 8 is another option though.

The fig. 8 doesn't jam after heavy loading?

Sometimes we have a butterfly stick, but following the right path, can always get it open.

an 8 on a bight may be more acurate.

I find a 9 on a bight will release better after laoding.

I've never had the inline eight jam too bad after loading. The only bad thing about it is that it is directional unlike the butterfly. A figure eight or nine on a bight is a poor choice for a midline knot as the forces are working to pull the knot apart unlike the inline eight or a butterfly. Jps, you're right, a fig. nine on a bight is easier to untie after heavy loading and even stronger than an eight. All of these knots can be found in "ON ROPE". I like to use prusiks as midline knots but in a pinch I'll use some thing else that's faster.

One other thing I have found is that an inline eight pulls through crotches better than a butterfly.
