Hello,

I'm having trouble with the Snuggle Hitch (I'm not very good at it anyway). The Snuggle Hitch is recommended for attaching the rope
to the anchor point.

I was wondering if the Clove Hitch would work instead of a Snuggle Hitch (it's quite simple and I'm sure I can handle it).


Here's the Snuggle Hitch:


Here's the Clove Hitch:




If you tie two Clove Hitches in a row, does the Clove Hitch need to be secured against accidental opening?


The requirements for the knot that holds the rope to the anchor point should really only be these (or have I overlooked something):


1. The rope should be firmly connected to the anchor point; the knot must not open on its own or under the weight.
2. It should ensure optimal, low-loss transfer of weight force to the loop and thus to the neck.
3. Are there any other criteria?


I welcome constructive and well-founded feedback! :)


Many thanks and best regards,
Suizident
