Triple Fishermans Loop

What source are you looking at?

Take everything I'm posting as a grain of salt, as I said, I have newb-itis in this area.

This is one of the sources I found... The guy could be on crack for all I know?

The San Diego Jam Knot with three wraps seems like a good termination knot as well? I just tied it a couple times on some paracord I have here.

Dunno bout anyone else but I quite like THIS animated knot site.

Fairly informative.

That site's pretty cool... That "Hasty Webbing Harness" is a good one to learn and store away for emergency situations!

yada... yada... yada..

the debate on what to call it can go on for pages. to me it's exactly like how our dictionary is formed.

By Usage!

triple fisherman is the most commonly used name for this knot. so that's what I use.

I knew as Triple Fisherman as well. Reminds me of time my son came home, who is firefighter.. and challenged me to see who could tie the highest number of different knots. Had to pick my brain a bit and go back a few years.. some could not remember the name of them.. but in the end I won

It is also referenced (though not shown) in The Tree Climber's Companion - Jeff Jepson, 2000 (pg 74, 1st paragraph, last sentence).

You beat me to it. I actually saw this last night and was logging in to post it.

ill be danged. i musta read that book 3 times and perused it 5 lol.

well after testing and input my little discovery is now my DdRT termination knot. my schwabisch is grizzly spliced, but i may try a TFL sometime soon.
