Stopper knot on the tail of hitch, don't you get any creep?

I use a Blakes and that creeps a little.
Nope the climber that taugt me used to keep like 3 inches of tail with a regular taught..2 under 1 over..

I leave a good tail and add an over to my taught,even when the top is slack the bottom stays tight if it slides a little i just grab tail and lock..Im a bad one arm bandit.I use my rope alot for balance...drop on the head didnt exactly help the eardrum if ya get my drift.Im completely comfortable with my set up.But every climber is different in there ways.The standards are kinda like guide lines more or so...

One thing ive learned over the years...Is to usin the handsaw a bit more...Them there chainsaws bite........Teeheee
