Bill: I think you are getting at what I am trying to describe with the clove hitch. I wish that there were a way to import pictures.

Also, I made a brief mention of the munter mule because of a comment that Brain SLC made about backing up a mule knot.

I looked at your link on the munter mule releasable rappel. On step number two it states" place a mule knot with back up on belay device on the belay rope". So I am thinking how this is worded with "belay device" that you arent belaying off a munter hitch. If you are using a belay device, you should first "lock off" the belay device before tying a mule knot. If you are using a tube device such as an ATC, bring the rope on the brake hand between the biner and ATC and then then back up to tie your munter mule along with the stopper knot.
