  • Thanks for this. Helpful comment.

    Question: Can someone report anonymously to a non emergency number?

    I mean I get you probably shouldn’t call animal control or something, but if someone just really does not want to involve themselves with police/emergency services, is there a better option?

    I helped open a community center in my hometown. We had more than a handful of volunteers who were brought up with a “no 911” mindset.

    I guess I’m just curious if there’s an option for folks who are just flat out opposed.

    Pay phone is anonymous answer, but the finger condom requirement will likely yield laziness.


















  • I get you on that, it doesn’t look like much. I’m guessing that’s because it’s a true follow through & looks “traceable”?

    Physics or whatnot means the stress that knot puts on itself allows it to retain roughly 80% of the ropes strength, without a backup knot.

    Many use a backup knot, but that’s typically just for convenience, to get the loose end out of the way.

    The biggest reason, aside from the knot’s strength (…and to my knowledge), that it is used for climbing, is because it will not fail or slip past a rope delivery system, such as an ATC or a grigri.

    Basically if you’re ass backwards & heading in the wrong direction, that knot may help stop your decent by not blowing past a safety measure.
