What type of knot are you guys using to secure your lifting straps/harness?

I wrap the bottom rope around the straps and use the kin weight to hold the tag end

I just tie a loop on one end. Thread the rope through all the straps, then through the loop. Pull the rope tight and wrap it around the pumpkin in the opposite direction. Make sure that the straps trap the end of the rope against the side of the pumpkin when you lift.

Square knot, but it's always a pain to loosen.
