... the figure-Eight follow through [is] actually the exact same knot as the figure-eight on a loop, except for how you tie it. Instead of tying it with a loop, you first tie a figure eight into the rope and then run the end through your harness and then you "follow-through" to complete the knot. 1, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

Figure eight follow through. There are two versions of this knot; each has a different function. One allows you to join two lines; the other permits you to create a loop of any size in the end of the rope. It's a bit slower to tie than a bowline, but just as effective. 5, record 1, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

It should follow (hence the name) the exact path of the original knot. Step 3: Use a safety knot, such as the overhand, with this knot. 1, record 2, English, - figure%2Deight%20follow%20through

Nœud de huit tissé. Ce nœud très simple consiste à faire un nœud de huit sur une des cordes, de manière lâche et en laissant 10 cm de courant; puis à suivre le chemin avec l'autre corde. Le risque étant que l'un des courants glisse, on s'assurera que le courant de chaque corde se trouve à l'intérieur de la boucle formée par le dormant de l'autre corde. 1, record 2, French, - n%26oelig%3Bud%20de%20huit%20tiss%C3%A9
