Default ratlines reference?

I recommend that you tie them in with a rolling hitch. It's important
that you keep the knot tight as you tie it because you can't fully
tighten it afterwards. If you're unfamiliar with the rolling hitch, go

This is a very use ful knot for taking the strain off a loaded line to
untie a know, clear a winch, etc.
