Anyone see any problems with wrapping it back down towards
the standing end and finishing it with a half hitch?
Why bother? I can't see a finishing HHitch as
being anywhere nearly as secure as what one
has already, with the extra tucked wrap.
One might put in the extra wrapping not through
the *body* of the knot
--i.e., not around the turns around the object--
but around the SPart (such as Ashley suggests
for the
timber hitch), which might give more
slack-security.
