Beer Knot

To create a door anchor or handle loop without weakening the strap too much, consider the beer knot. Simply tie an overhand knot, slide one end into the other, and then work the knot onto the embedded webbing. No special tools needed—a sharpened pencil will do! Just make sure you’ve buried enough webbing. 6.5′ should be adequate for 1″ webbing and a 28″ length makes that easy enough. Unlike the water knot, which can slip over time, the beer knot becomes tighter under load.
