It is too easy to tie a water knot, why would you have a pre-sown webbing? The pre-sown reduces the options you have for that strand of webbing; use in patient packaging, rigging or anchor around a continuous object. Both are around the same efficiency, minus ~30% for the knot or sewing. |
The webbing I keep in my gear for a drag strap is also pre-tied with a water knot, but I roll it and keep it in a medical glove to protect it from dirt and water. Pretty handy, you should look into that. |
I have the same webbing in the same configuration and it works well... Would like to point out that from a flexibility perspective both sewn and pre-tied webbing have the same problems. A pre-tied water knot is probably going to be pretty tight and it would be difficult to untie in the heat of the moment. For all inten... |

I would have to agree with the "HeavyRescueTech" and the rest of the guys, its just an easy knot to tie on the fly and its strong.Everyone in my dept is issued about a 20 foot peice of webbing, but we all have different places for our webbing and uses. |
I have a 25' piece, looped with a waterknot, daisy chained and hanging on my Gut-Belt, I have another 20' section that is just rolled (no loop) in my pocket, and another 25' daisy-chained loop in my pocket.... Quote: |
That's a good idea. I think the one I keep in my pocket will get changed to being rolled up and kept in a glove. |

That's a lot of webbing Spidey. I 2nd the water knot and glove idea too. Both work great. |
I like duplicity. Plus I carry the one un-looped so if I need it that way I don't have to un-tie one of the other ones. |
I hadn't thought of that, I'll give it a try. |
Every firefighter should carry a long piece of webbing long enough to make a hasty harness around themselves with gear on. For some this will be the 25' and for some it will need to be longer. Mine is pre-tied with a water knot. I also carry a short 5' piece for tying off hose to a rail, etc. It stays untied. |
I'm a bit late to this party, but this is simply not true. Water knots can and will reduce the strength of webbing by 40-50%. A "Beer Knot" in webbing, which is a more time consuming and complex version of a water knot, will reduce the strength of the webbing by around 20%. Meanwhile, a quick look at specs listed on an... |
If you doubt the strength loss I gave you above, you might want to pick up a copy of "On Rope" by Bruce Smith and Allen Padgett. |
All that being said, I would tend to agree a knotted webbing loop lends itself to more applications than a sewn loop. |
Okay, you have a piece of webbing with between a 4000-6000 pound rating and you claim that a water knot reduces the strength by 40-50%. Here's my answer to that, so what? At 2000-3000 pounds where is the deficiency in that for everyday use? I guess I don't see the need for "A "Beer Knot" in webbing, which is a more tim... |
You're right. For most of the uses that we have webbing in our bunker gear for, it will be a "so what" situation as far as strength. |
My whole point was to correct the false statement/assumption that I quoted- especially since it was said in such an absolute fashion. I rock climb, so breaking strength and fall factors likely matter a bit more to me than a lot of the forum members |
And I agree about a Beer knot; while it is the strongest knot option I know of, it truly is a PITA to tie and definitely not something you will have the time to tie on the fireground. I mentioned it purely as a comparison. |
We have used 1 inch webbing for "Hasty" harnesses for years with the webbing tied into a loop using the water knot. I guess I just didn't see the drop in strength, when it is far stronger than we would realistically ever need as a problem. Especially when the water knot is so easy to tie. |
I have a 25' piece, looped with a waterknot, daisy chained and hanging on my Gut-Belt, I have another 20' section that is just rolled (no loop) in my pocket, and another 25' daisy-chained loop in my pocket.... Guess that would make you the "Web Master". |
Like that idea as well. |
Exactly whats in my pocket. |

The only rebuttle i can think of to the "so what?" argument is shock loading. I know that on a day to day basis there aren't alot of applications, but thats not what we carry that equipment for right? We carry all that stuff in our pockets for when we really need it, and if you can save 20% in strength, why not? Now ha... |
I don't know, anyone else out there on the same wavelength, or am I in over my head here? |

You didn't get anything brotha, but maybe the idea that the percentage decrease becomes a little more relevant is something to pay attention to when you use your webbing for something other than hoisting a tool, like an anchor for a rope system. Just something to think about, we should all be open to constantly re-eval... |
I'm a "keeper of each" and I also keep the same length of rope (3 mm or whatever size presuks are normally made from). I find the small rope is much easier to find in dark/smoky conditions and when it's pressed against the ground with gloved hands I can still find it really easy and pick it up. |
Now a rebuttal to my info here can be "well, don't drop you're equipment..." True, but gotta prepare for the inevitable.<eot>Blueberry companion plants? - The Resilience Hub & Portland Maine Permaculture (Portland, ME) |

Coverdale studied at Cambridge, becoming bachelor of canon law in 1513.[1][note 2] He was ordained in Norwich in 1514 and entered the house of the Augustinian friars in Cambridge, where Robert Barnes had returned from Louvain to become its prior. This is thought to have been about 1520-1525.[1] According to Trueman,[3]... |
Coverdale probably met Thomas Cromwell some time before 1527. A letter survives showing that later, in 1531, he wrote to Cromwell, requesting his guidance on his behaviour and preaching; also stating his need for books.[1] By Lent 1528, he had left the Augustinians and, wearing simple garments, was preaching in Essex a... |
From 1528 to 1535 Coverdale spent most of his time in continental Europe, mainly in Antwerp. Celia Hughes believes that upon arriving there, he rendered considerable assistance to William Tyndale in his revisions and partial completion of his English versions of the bible.[6]:100[note 4] In 1531, Tyndale spoke to Steph... |
In 1534 Canterbury Convocation petitioned Henry VIII that the whole Bible might be translated into English. Consequently, in 1535, Coverdale dedicated this complete Bible to the King.[8]:201 After much scholarly debate, it is now considered very probable that the place of printing of the Coverdale Bible was Antwerp.[1]... |
In 1537 the Matthew Bible was printed, also in Antwerp, at the expense of R. Grafton and E. Whitchurch who issued it in London.[8]:1058 It comprised Tyndale's Pentateuch; a version of Joshua 2 and Chronicles translated from the Hebrew, probably by Tyndale and not previously published; the remainder of the Old Testament... |
The Matthew Bible was theologically controversial.[10] Furthermore it bore evidence of its origin from Tyndale. If Henry VIII had become aware of this, the position of Cromwell and Cranmer would have been precarious. Consequently in 1538 Coverdale was sent to Paris by Cromwell to superintend the printing of the planned... |
An injunction was issued by Cromwell in September 1538, strengthening an earlier one that had been issued but widely ignored in 1536. This second injunction firmly declared opposition to "pilgrimages, feigned relics, or images, or any such superstitions" whilst correspondingly placing heavy emphasis on scripture as "th... |
In February 1539, Coverdale was in Newbury communicating with Thomas Cromwell.[15] The printing of the London edition of the Great Bible was in progress.[1] It was finally published in April of the same year.[16] John Winchcombe, son of "Jack O'Newbury", a famous clothier, served as a confidential messenger to Coverdal... |
Sometime between 1535 and 1540 (the exact dates being uncertain), separate printings were made of Coverdale's translations into English of the psalms. These first versions of his psalm renditions were based mainly or completely upon his translation of the Book of Psalms in the 1535 Coverdale Bible. |
In the final years of the decade, the conservative clerics, led by Stephen Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, were rapidly recovering their power and influence, opposing Cromwell's policies.[1] On 28 June 1539 the Act of Six Articles became law, ending official tolerance of religious reform. Cromwell was executed on 28 Ju... |
Edward VI (1547–53) was only 9 years old[18] when he succeeded his father on 28 January 1547. For most of his reign he was being educated, whilst his uncle, Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford, acted as Lord Protector of the Realm and Governor of the King's Person. Immediately upon receiving these appointments he beca... |
On 10 June 1549, the Prayer Book Rebellion broke out in Devon and Cornwall. There, Coverdale was directly involved in preaching and pacification attempts.[1] Recognising the continuing unpopularity of the Book of Common Prayer in such areas, the Act of Uniformity had been introduced, making the Latin liturgical rites u... |
Coverdale spent Easter 1551 in Oxford with the Florentine-born Augustinian reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli. At that time, Martyr was Regius Professor of divinity, belonging to Magdalen College.[8]:1267 He had been assisting Cranmer with a revision of the Anglican prayer book.[1] Coverdale attended Martyr's lectures on t... |
Edward VI died of tuberculosis on 6 July 1553.[18] Shortly before, he had attempted to deter a Roman Catholic revival by switching the succession from Mary daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon to Lady Jane Grey. However his settlement of the succession lasted barely a fortnight. After a brief struggle between... |
In August 1559, Coverdale and his family returned to London, where they lodged with the Duchess of Suffolk, whom they had known at Wesel.[1] He was appointed as preacher and tutor to her children. He wrote to William Cole in Geneva, saying that the duchess had "like us, the greatest abhorrence of the ceremonies" (meani... |
His stance on vestments was one of the reasons why he was not reinstated to his bishopric. However Hughes believes that it is likely that in his own opinion, he felt too elderly to undertake the responsibility properly.[6] From 1564 to 1566, he was rector of St Magnus the Martyr in the City of London near London Bridge... |
As indicated above, Coverdale was involved with the first four of the above. He was partially responsible for Matthew's Bible.[1][note 17] In addition to those mentioned above, he produced a diglot New Testament in 1538.[6]:101 He was extensively involved with editing and producing the Great Bible. He was also part of ... |
Coverdale's translation of the Psalms (based on Luther's version and the Latin Vulgate) have a particular importance in the history of the English Bible.[23] His translation is still used in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.[8] It is the most familiar translation for many in the Anglican Communion worldwide, particul... |

^ Daniell states "BCL according to Cooper, BTh according to Foxe." At the time, such students had to gain proficiency in both subjects. |
^ But Trueman also says that Barnes was incorporated BTh in Cambridge university in 1522-3, followed in 1523 by the award of a DTh., so Barnes' return from Louvain was probably in about 1522. |
^ Hughes cites four twentieth century authors in support of this view, having said that some older biographers discount the suggestion. Daniell states firmly that Coverdale and Rodgers were with Tyndale in Antwerp in 1534, whilst discounting the account of Foxe (1563) that Coverdale travelled to Hamburg to assist Tynda... |
^ In his dedication to King Henry, Coverdale explains that he has ‘with a clear conscience purely and faithfully translated this out of five sundry interpreters’. Daniell explains that this means Tyndale, Luther, the Vulgate, the Zürich Bible, and Pagninus's Latin translation of the Hebrew. |
^ The following is Guido Latré's citation for: ... it was Coverdale's glory to produce the first printed English Bible, and to leave to posterity a permanent memorial of his genius in that most musical version of the Psalter which passed into the Book of Common Prayer, and has endeared itself to generations of Englishm... |

^ A special copy on vellum, with illuminations, was prepared for Cromwell himself, and is now in the library of St. John’s College, Cambridge. |
^ General Note (by Bodleian Library): English and Latin in parallel columns; the calendar is printed partly in red; this edition repudiated by Coverdale on account of the faulty printing. |
^ Rychard Grafton and Edward Whitchurch finally printed the London large folio edition of the Great Bible in 1539. Coverdale compiled it, based largely on the 1537 Matthew’s Bible, which had been printed in Antwerp from translations by Tyndale and Coverdale. |
^ A later writer recalled that ‘none of the clergy were ready to risk life with Russell's expedition but old Father Coverdale’ (A Brieff Discours, cited by Daniell, p. 232). On the field at Woodbury Windmill, Coverdale ‘caused general thanksgiving to be made unto God’ (Mozley - see Daniell, 15). |
^ In November 1553 and April 1554 both Peter Martyr and the king of Denmark refer to him as having been a prisoner. |
^ Daniell cites Mozley, 23, in support of this detail, which is useful in illustrating how, by that time, Coverdale's theology had developed beyond the accepted mainstream of the Elizabethan reforms. |
^ According to Daniell, the second half of the Old Testament of the Matthew's Bible was Coverdale's translation. |

It rained the first 24 hours and the second day has been absolutely beautiful and sunny in Rockport Maine. While out on the water we came across this lovely cormorant. Wait a minute I thought these fish eating birds were from Africa! |
In Kenya you’d be lucky to get within a few hundred meters of a Cormorant. Well, I got to touch this fellow who was sitting on a rubber dingy in Rockport Harbour, Maine. |
Getting this close to the bird was amazing – it has super blue eyes and fleas all over it’s feathers! |
No wonder it was feeling poorly and keep grooming itself. Well it only too a few moments to call in the “bird lady” as the Harbor Mistress called her and he bird was rescued. |
