Suppose there's two thread anchors (or P-bolts) positioned next to each other and I want to create a Y-hang off them using just the rope. I've seen it done a couple of ways but I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this method:
1. Tie a bowline round one of them leaving a long tail
2. Use the long tail to tie a bowline round the other one and secure with a stopper knot.
3. Adjust so they are equalised.
I've decided that this is kind of unorthodox because you're making the tail of the bowline load-bearing. It's quick, looks OK, and it works but is it good rigging?
