text: # Double overhand noose
  
  The double overhand noose is a very secure hitch knot. It might be used by cavers and canyoneers to bind a cow tail or a foot loop to a carabiner.
  
  ## Details
  
  * Make a bight
  * Turn around the standing end
  * the 2nd round rides the 1st
  * Tie inside the two rounds
  * Tighten
  
  A heavily tightened double overhand noose will jam. The bound object has to be removed before untying.
  
  As the double overhand knot, it neither slips nor turns around. However, a third round turn might be useful with some highly lubricious spectra/nylon ropes.
