Very clear presentation. I use this knot in all my connections keeping my cel phone attached to my belt by cordage, as well as my folding craft knife. I used it with all my caribiners for arborist work removing a 40 ft. tall tree from my lot. Most usable knot ever next to bowline
The Anchor hitch is a wonderful termination knot
I’ve just recently got into learning about rope climbing and kept hearing about open and closed systems but it was never clearly explained until now. Thank you.
I developed that hitch as an improvement over the taunt line hitch when i started climbing in the late 60s or early 70s, i don't remember exactly when i started teaching other young climbers. I have never used a stopper knot on it, but i almost immediately began tying a second to make it self-tending
That looks very nice! I think I'll change my knot to this right now!
Nice demo of a Buntline Hitch. Not sure where your Becket label is coming from. A Becket Hitch is the same structure as a Sheet Bend but tied to closed loop/eyelet.
I wannabe your groundsmen 😊, Ma'am. .....?
Yo this is fire i still just just a Blake hitch to climb
glad you pointed out the common mistake. i was guilty of it.
Yes, I think I will scrap the figure 8 for the double overhand knot 👍 was that a steveadore that was corrected?
Great video well explained and demonstrated x
Thank you
Jen…love your content & your teaching style! Are you a deciple of Jesus by any chance? There is something different about you(in a good way). What safety helmet do you use? What is your favorite chainsaw? Blessings 😀❤️🪓🪵
When rigging a line which is attached @ the base of a 🌳 do u ever tie off the end of the rigging line with a daisy chain hitch? I've had alot of control when I've used a large rigging ring attached above a branch that I tie with thar hitch. I make my cuts & the branch which is usually 20 feet long breaks loose & suspends parallel to the ground. If there's something below & I need more control I take an Amsteel rope& attach it to the end of the branch & let it fall to the ground. When I'm back on the ground I have that Amsteel line in one hand & the rigging line attached to the port-a-wrap in my other hand. I have fences which r in great condition that I'm always trying to avoid damage to. 😮😢
Hey Jen, I noticed your safety glasses. I have a question about the Kimberly Clark safety glasses that have a soft,dark substance like goggles around the outside of the lenses. Have u ever used anything like this to keep sweat from your forehead from coming down into your eyes in the spring season on warm days?😮
thanks for making knot tying and safety commonsense enjoyable-
I've done some trekking on some of the big peaks in the Cascades using conventional gear and techniques and I must say this is a fascinating hitch. The presentation was very thorough, clear, and concise. I relocated to Houston and saved one yard man who was trying to prune a very very tall palm without employing any gear whatsoever. At nearly 80, I still use climbing gear to work on my roof and occasionally to safely prune trees.
Do you have any guidance on the thickness of the prussic vs. the thickness of the working rope? I have a couple of 8mm prussic and a 10.5mm prussic, but my rope is 10mm. Getting hyped up for spring and the urge to practice the climb is kicking in.
You want your prusik to be thinner in diameter than your climbing line, that way it will bite better.
Thanks for sharing your expertise with us & very much enjoyed your video…..Josh from Savage,MN.❤
I really appreciate this video. I climbed for years when I was young and just recently got back into it for work on my property. This video was a perfect refresher!! Thank you and keep'em coming.
Wouldn't a Prusik knot in a line half the diameter of your main line bite and hold better than a Blakes hitch in the same diameter as the main line?
My thoughts exactly. 8mm cord ideally suited for that purpose.
Vey clear. Thanks Jen.
👏👏👍
Very informative and detailed explanation.
This video is gold
Very nice. I like it.
Why climb using this over a double fisherman’s or anchor? Thanks for the info
Not sure why you would use this over other termination options given the con you mentioned. Thanks for the nice demo though
Thank you for such a beautiful knot demo, great job, can't wait to see more!
look at the LENS of the camera .... NOT "over there" at yourself!
Could this work instead of the buntline for a closed Blake’s hitch system? I’ve been using it lately and it seems suitable.
What's your climbing setup?
I imagine this would be a good candidate for a split tail, where you might not want a stopper knot flopping around.
Some serious rope. 13mm?
Looks like Teufelberger Tachyon which is 11.5mm could be wrong though. Could be an optical illusion of her small hands making it look big 😅
Look at the LENS of the camera NOT "over there" at the viewfinder/screen.
Very nice. Many use just a double fisherman but I like this version since that double on one side three on the other is just a nice configuration I see alot. I usually always have a sewn eye that I use whether it's with a micro pulley that is self tending or my DMM Hitchclimber Eccentric which has to have a sewn end since the termination knot could leave u with a dangerous situation 😮.
That’s a great demo
Well done… keep going!
very good show and tell
do you think this is more secure than the Yosemite bowline you showed? Thanks!
Great video. I’ve referenced it a few times already.
i very much like your presentation and you truly have the patience of jobe of how yoy want to convey your message and teaching to your Audience, i have watched zillions of videos, i must say you are really a good teacher, most other places tey rushed through their presentations or they dont give you enough time to absorbs what you are tying to present, its always very quick or they are too far away to t see the knot properlly. thank you. cheers .
I like the presentation that was easy to follow. But if u were going to go through the trouble of doing a split-tail it would be nice to make it self tending. Many times I have limbs in the way from the ground up to the height that I need to obtain. I always go with an open system. I keep a closed prusik on my saddle so I can make it self tending. Only takes seconds to incorporate the tail end to a prusik & saves u minutes on a climb. Would appreciate a follow up with the climb.
Thanks for the comment. I hope to add more content soon and will definitely take your comments into consideration for future videos!
@@jencarroll49 Thank-you Jen. The winter is when people who have projects have the most time to view content. I believe that anyone that has a budget that might struggle with just a Blake's would like to know that there's a better way. Have a great Holiday Jen👍.
Where did you get your helmet ?
That's the Pfanner Protos helmet. I actually won that one in an online giveaway a couple years back. But they are available at most arborist equipment suppliers. They've become a quite popular model in the arboriculture industry. More on the expensive side but nicely balanced and my favourite feature is that the ear muffs tuck up inside the helmet so they don't get caught on tree branches while climbing or using throwline.
What’s the size of your rope and the length
That's the Teufelberger Tachyon 11.5mm rope, 24 strand. 150ft with one spliced end. One of my favourite dual purpose ropes
Thank you. Very helpful. John, from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Add shots of using the knots to keep the viewers interest.
Thanks for the comment. I'll definitely consider that for future videos
Can you do an ascending video and rope securment for climbing video please.. love your videos keep it up I'm a subscriber for good k
Thanks for the comment! Yea, I definitely plan on doing more and will certainly consider demonstrating climbing aspects as well! Stay tuned!
Where you based out of I'm ontario
Thanks Jen. I like the slow presentation. I need to work on my knot tying skills and winter is the perfect time to do this. I'll be watching more of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching! I definitely plan on making more! Winter is definitely a great time to improve skills when work is not as busy or you're shut down for the winter or holidays!
Great presentation!
