A "trucker's hitch" is a lot cheaper, probably more secure, and likely
stronger as the rope isn't point compressed. There are lots of
versions to choose from, here are two I like
Not a "real" truckers hitch but easy to learn

(nice site with lots of knot choices, iPhone version coming!)
Again, not a "real" truckers hitch, but has good mechanical advantage
and it's easy to remove the figure 8 loop

Braided dacron is so nice to tie, lasts a long time, and unties fairly
easily.
