That is an overhand knot using both loose ends.

exactly like that. Nothing special, very common way for tying loops into the end of things which is essentially what you're doing

I would add that if your are going to use those, make sure thery're very tight. Especially on bungee.

Off subject, but isn't there a continuous loop of bungee that can be used versus this? I would hate having a big knot on my back which presents an entanglement hazard, and if this is what the manufacturers is using, looks kind of cheap (?).

Not really. Steve Martin has now gone to loop bungees but each end is tied into a slide lock similar to the way Edd has his old school mod for the nomad/SMS. He used to us one continuous bungee but that mimic'd the stock bungee on the SMS/Nomad and doesn't allow it to be looped around the valve knob so they went away from that. You have knots regardless. That one is bigger than it has to be since the bungee is so thick, I'd recommend going to 1/4" if you're in the US or 6mm if you're overseas. More stretch

That loop is a larksfoot.

Instead of an overhand knot at the end I would use double fishermans bend. It is safer and looks better and is more streamlined. I have positioned these knots within sight, not on my back.

Adjusting the length of the loop, especially on a bungee, is a bit tricky as the loop tends to extend a lot when the double fishermans bend is tightened. You need to do a couple tries. I like the knot nevertheless.
