Back in the dawn of time, when dinosaurs didn't necessarily still roam the Earth , but some people still may have had some brontosaurus steaks tucked away in their smokehouses, I learned this one as the "linemans loop", and have used it for years for transport tightening systems.
But he doesn't mention that two of the best things about it is:
1) handles multi-directional loading well, and 2) is a non-locking knot, meaning you can put any amount of prssure on it, up to the tensile strength of the line, and still be able to untie it relatively easily after pressure is realeased.
