Pardon the slide everyone, I am getting some knot advice from our resident expert LonePalm and I can't send pics via FreeMail. 0-02-01-b5c1c093b31cd8846732fe0ae61976f23b64e98e2745dcb9d3446802aebc5980-80928e7f6ad3e700 0-02-01-4ca5115966de14839b249e859e26aeea17e2431145c9bdb1fbb303f4c4cbcd29-e63ae7ca79a18793 0-02-01-0c4630874bd7cda61b169002b8a0cd9709f8a7389b88c26110f77bfb5f5e788c-edfeb4bb10bcb539

You have much more snow than we do, just North of you.

Or, is that your “Casa Norte”?

A Polaris ATV plow! I have the exact same one on my 2019 Polaris Sportsman 450.

OK, that needs to be fixed.

1st - That is not natural fiber. It is Nylon. Untie the line and cut off any bit of the line that is frayed. Seal the end with a flame so that it will not fray again. Make sure ALL strands are sealed together,

2nd - Use the following animated illustration to tie a bowline with the main loop passing through the shackle at the base of the hook. The bitter end should protrude at least an inch but not more than three inches from the knot.

Animated bowline instructions

If this were larger or in regular heavy usage I would recommend buying a line with a metal thimble spliced into one end as I showed you in the FReepMail. This isn't worth the effort or expense.
