I have a question about lashing.
I have found that a good way to make something nice and tight is to put a loop at the end of a line, and then run the line around whatever it is you are trying to secure, running the end of the rope back through the loop. By pulling back against itself, you can make it quite tight.
However, how best to secure that loose end so that all of the tension you've leveraged is not lost?
I've gone so far as to add a second loop, to double the tensioning power:
But that does not solve the dilemma of how to tie it off in the end without, as I say, losing whatever tension I have managed in the first place.Surely there is some perfect knot for this purpose?
