Thanks to all those who have taken the time to challenge, ask, upload pictures, and think about alternate ways to the water knot. Pursuing a better way (if there is one)....Bootboy, Mudface, kiwi_outdoors, and others. I thought it has been very beneficial, at least for me. I didn't realize this knot can fail, which gave me initial pause. But there are a lot of things that can fail, especially if not done properly. Oldno7 comment especially resonated, as it is something common (known) that can be inspected visually.
Nicely done. :nod:
