I have an abundance of cordage.....I will try and cull some of it. Got a bunch of jute twine as well, plus a couple surprises.

Also...I will be bringing along the air rifles. That's right, plural. Should have the second one set up for after hours shooting by that time....
Bringing archery target and bows so young people can shoot, too.
I am SO looking forward to this.
 
I have never needed to shorten a rope in the middle like that. I just untie and retie an end but then again I am not a sailor nor do I pretend to be. I have always seen the sheepshank as an academic knot. You know it just to know it. There are variations that are supposed to be more reliable. If you are in the woods I always figured you could just insert a short stick of the appropriate diameter into each of the two loops. That would keep it from coming apart under load but would not do much about it coming apart when it is too slack. The knot needs some tension but not too much so it has a small window of functionality.
