Nice, as usual!

I'm a bit lazy about all that pulling through. Can the hitch also be done starting at the other end, and repeatedly feeding a new bight though the previous one and twisting it over by 180 degrees? i.e. more like in your bugle cord vid.

You can... But once you begin you'll see you're presented with the same challenge you would have been if you performed the tie the other way.

In short The tricky part of a Ringbolt Hitch is starting it off; the rest of the hitch is relatively easy, or, at the least, straight forward.

You can start with a constrictor knot or tacking or taping one rope end down before starting your loops, but the piece wont look as clean.

Thanks, JD!

It was just the middle part I was thinking about, but if that's the straight forward part, then my laziness (cough, I mean quest for efficiency) was focused in the wrong place.

Why don't I just try it instead of conjecturing? All together now: Learn, Practise, Innovate ;-)

I have the perfect staff to adorn with this hitch. I wonder what happens when you pull the ends...
