What the double fisherman does
The double fisherman connects two ropes, or makes a load-bearing loop; high strength, hard to slip.
Common for Prusik slings, connecting same-diameter static rope, and backup connections in rescue systems.
3D animation clearly shows the symmetric two wraps each side then pass through structure - why it is steadier than the single fisherman.
Leave enough tail on both ends and finish with a stopper, so it won't slide under load.
