The Zeppelin Bend

This Wednesday morning had me playing around with two strands of paracord and the tying of overhand knot variations that are used to join two lengths of cord.  This example is the Zeppelin Bend.

The Zeppelin Bend is usually an easy one to untie after it's been tightened up, but not if it is still under tension.

There are a number of different bends, each with their pros and cons.  Some may have the tendency to jam, and if you want to easily separate the cords, that would not be desirable.  But, if you intend the cords to stay together forever and ever amen, then let them jam away...
