[quote=P.M.]Good question and the answer is simple. The figure 8 is easier to untie after heavy loads than the double overhand, and it has a very nice shoulder to stop against. The flat stopping surface of a double overhand is more tapered and likely to pull through or wedge into the stopping surface. I do on occasion see some of the mono guys using the double overhand. That's probably because they sip wine as to guzzling beer.[/quote]
