I've got a need. I know somebody here will know the knot.


I've got a winch on my DRV(Deer Recovery Vehicle). It does a great job of pulling deer out. All you need to do is get a rope around the front half of the deer and then hit the button. We have some fairly steep ravines. It's great for getting the deer up.

My problem is as follows: The steel winch cable only goes so far. From there we throw a rope down, usually 100 yards covers the remaining distance. I'm looking for a good knot to attach the rope to the snap hook of the cable. The knot needs to be easily removed.

Thanks in advance.

Anchor knot.
