Default Snap shackle pulls

I think I figured it out. Standard hangman (I was doing it backward) with
the noose through the shackle ring. Pull tight, leaving a good length on
the end you put through the locking loop, and then tie off the bitter end
and a the free end with a square knot. Trim and fuse the knot in the galley
stove with wife looking on in horror and holding her nose.
