One more thing,
Other than ring-hitching, which requires an extra-wide shackle bail, it is possible to make the McDonald Brummel if you have sufficiently loose-woven rope that you can put the shackle through it. There is a sporting limit here, but some ropes are loose enough that, with a small enough shackle, a long enough eye, and a gentle touch, it can be done.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
