This should probably go into the redneck engineering thread but you guys working on knots keep in mind you can often, for emergency purposes make knots in wire rope (cable). You may have to use a rigging chain and a winch to suck them tight but it can be done. use extreme caution so you don't lose any fingers while your trying to get them tight.
I've tied knots into 1 inch dia. cable by myself using a winch on a D-7 or larger cat.
Then i get my ass chewed later for not making a splice even if there wasn't enough time.
Logging bosses are like Sergeants, they have to chew you out just to stay in practice.
