How about the highwayman's hitch. The harder you pull on one end the tighter it gets, but always releases when you pull on the other end. Good for getaways on horses or boats too.

Don't DIR do breakaway clips? Or is this just for the HP hose?

As far as I am aware, "beakaway" means "cutaway" so the caveline tied snaps are applicable. But not being GUE trained, I could be wrong. I did the "breakaway" think a while ago with a bolt snap and an 'O' ring, but it slides about the hose a bit too much. And anyway, those things are so strong that you would need to cut them before they would 'break'.

Ian,
All the boltsnaps are tied on with cave line or similar so that they can be cut away should an entanglement occur.
