A friend (who is on this forum) and I were having a chat, and I was asked "why can't I use a double-fishermans to join two lengths of tape, rather than a tape/water knot?"
I have no clue. Tape is weird thing to tie, and all the advice I can easily find says "and the tape knot is great for joining slings and the double fishermans is great for joining cord"
The thing is, I don't like the tape knot because it comes undone/slips quite easily, and the double (triple) fishermans does so much less.
So what should be used for joining tape together, and does anyone have any interesting sources about knots in tape?
Scenarios: making a homemade tape sling, rethreading some climbing protection onto a homemade sling
