Would this be satisfactory as a splice substitute?

I would like to see some examples of how you use it for block and tackle applications as you mentioned in the video.

Thanks

That method of tying the knot is really common here in NZ

Thanks Dale for sharing this technique. Its something I will use in the future.

Thanks for sharing, Dale.

I too discovered this method of tying several years ago. I've called it the "Hybrid Method", using ONE wrap and ONE twist to tie the knot.

It is my hope that more people will come to appreciate the Alpine Butterfly Knot as a direct result of this quick and "user friendly" way of tying it.

Cheers

We use this knot quite a bit while caving. Great instruction as always!

Great knot, Dale.

Merry Christmas to you to and I look forward to the new site.

Great vid as always Dale, one suggestion though, when you first showed this knot to me, the main thing I found impressive about it was the speed that it could be tied compared to the traditional method. Obviously a quickly tied knot is no good for a video on learning the knot itself, but if you get a chance, could you edit a bit on the end of you tying this one super fast? I think a lot of people would find it really impressive.

Great vid though mate, have you watched the archery one yet?
