is there a tutorial anywhere on the interbutts on how to tie in a bag?

The next issue of An Piobaire has a great article by Wilbert Garvin on this. Everything you ever wanted to know about tying in a bag, but were afraid to ask. Mine hasn’t come in the mail yet, but you can view the PDF online if you’re a member.

Andrew Lentz’s great GHB website has an excellent description on how to tie in a bag. The methods of tying would apply directly to the UP, but it would probably be best to leave out the cuts for the three drones!

I hope this helps.

A while back I wrote up a description of how to tie in a mainstock. Perhaps of help…

The “Constrictor Knot” is very helpful for tie-in:
