    Super curious: Do you often use a munter hitch in non-suspended bondage? I’ve only ever used them for adjustable uplines or hoisting, I don’t think I’ve ever used one for anything outside of that.

      I tried fairly regularly for a few years but haven’t in the last 5 or 6, so my memory is a little hazy. I mostly recall using it for locking off crossing lines (on a harness or what not) so they don’t shift. I can’t recall the harness names now might have been modified TKs? IMHO it looks better than lines crossing at 90 that just lay on each other.

      For suspension / up lines it was always half hitch with a couple extra turns at the ring with a Y hanger(?) or single column around the ropes or carabiner hooked to the ropes.

      *Brain fart, yes lock off was a munter followed by half hitches.

      *The futumomo I usually tied had munters too now that I think back.

          One thing with Munters that was drilled into me was also making sure you’re using closed and not open munter hitches since the open ones can shift.
