I'm not gonna lie...this is probably your BEST video as far as clear and concise demonstration! As someone new to climbing, the knots can get a bit confusing. This was perfect!
That's great to hear, Thank you!
Wow Bino you just took years of confusion away like a magic wand thanks !!
Cool awesome! Thank you Joe!
My favorite video on hitches I've seen so far!
What a wonderful video!!! It is surprising that no one else I have come across teaches to tie these knots with the assistance of gravity! It's extra effort to wrap upwards against gravity, and your method is so much easier!!! Thank you for such a valuable lesson! : )
Awesome, thank you for that great comment . I appreciate it. Take care!
Wow. This is what I needed. You've helped to simplify all these different hitches I keep hearing about. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Great video - thank you! In these 10 minutes I've learned more about climbing knots than in hours of videos before!
Great to hear! thank you!
You knocked it out of the park with this one Bino. Awesome video that really helps out.
Great I'm glad it helps. Thank you!
Thank you for this quick course in how to tie these useful knots.
Glad it was helpful!
I watch a lot of instructional videos, your demeanour and voice are perfect . Genuinely delivered. Keep up the Nobel Efforts!
Thanks, will do!
I absolutely love your videos. You make things so easy to understand. Thank you so much
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much, really made me see how to do it clearly. It’s going to help me so much.
You are so welcome!
I am new to tree work and your videos have been very helpful! Keep Sharing man
You have a great gift for teaching. Thank you for that excellent explanation.
You're very welcome, Glad it was Helpful!
another great video lesson from the maestro Bino. Thanks, man!!
You're welcome and thank you!
A very nice and informative video. Thanks BINO - it was for sure very explanatory for us who have been into tree climbing for year without thinking about theese small differences. From Norway a big HURRAY!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, Take care!
for someone who struggles on knots this was absolutely perfect thank you
You're welcome!
Thank You...!
Bringing t and tying hem together...One of your best. Easy Workflow to follow..
Greetings to both of you...!
Our pleasure, thank you!
thank you for the time you take and for shearing something help full for many of us with your videos, Bino.. I personally like Michoacan and VT, I am not a professional climber , but I like to get distress climbing is another world in the high of the trees.
You're welcom!
My!God!
The best video I’ve seen on hitch knots.
We’re I actually retained understand and digest this beautiful gem of information. Thank you brother. God bless you and that sound like I might be over doing it but no. This is gold in a world that charges to much for every thing and nothing.
No you're not over doing it and I thank you very much!!!
Great teacher. great videos. I'm not an arborist or tree climber, but a sailor looking for options to go up my mast without depending on the boat's winches. Very helpful.
Nice, Glad to help! Take care!
I thank you for taking the time to produce these videos, I have learned so much from watching them. I am a 73 year old just learning to do these things and you have helped a lot. Thanks again. Sincerely, Gary Tullos.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you like them. Take care!
Ya got a nice mind Bino. You are a kind and thoughtful teacher. Good job.
Thank you!
Great job, excellent teaching skills! Awesome to refresh my old brain, thanks for sharing, God bless
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
great teacher very patiently showing knowledge god bless you bino
Thank you!
Excellent demonstration, Boss, thank you very much !
You're welcome and thank you!
I enjoy knots. This is the best video on climbing knots, hands down!
That's great to hear. Thank you!
Super cool video that I’m sure connects a lot of dots for most people!
Thank you!
Your videos are so informative and useful. Meaning after watching I can go out and practice and use.
Happy to hear that!
I can't believe it's been two years since I first watched this, so I came back for a review. This is the absolute best way to learn these hitches.
So far I've used the prussik & schwabish. I don't climb often, so these are the easiest for me to remember.
I prefer the one-way action of the schwabish, but on some ropes the prussik holds better.
I really should get out in my back yard and try them all. I might learn a different one that suits me well.
I will be 70 this year, so I probably won't climb many more trees. At least I have a motorcycle for fun!
Thanks Mr. Bino for the great vids you put out❤ Even if I quit climbing, I will still watch for the entertainment and feeling of camaraderie.
P.S. I usually complain about background music, but towards the end, use chose some great music!
Thank you for coming back for more. Take care!
Thank you Bino, I see you as a very humble BMF.
Excellent teacher. Thanks!
You're very welcome and thank you!
Wow, this is awesome Bino. You really simplified these hitches.
Thank you!
Thank you so much Bino.
You're welcome thanks for watching.
The music coming in near the end... beautiful
Yes! the music is made by Oddscure, his music can be found on CZcams, or you can find his website in our description, Thanks for watching!
Perfect Bino. Great, simple video
Many thanks!
Tqvm sir for the very closeup video. That was very refreshing. Am a newbie too.. Just yesterday i was climbing up a tree using a prusik knot for my harness and a distel for my leg contraption... I almost was not able to come down.... I had a good look at my knot and realised my knots were not tied correctly especially my distel... Fortunately the tree branches were only about 30feet high....
I think is a good idea to work on doing low ascents when you're still getting the hang of how the friction hitches work. Don't worry about going high until you get tying and the feel of descending. Take care.
Thank you Bino
You're welcome!
Great video!!! Simple explanation. Thx.
You're welcome and thank you!
BEST HITCH VIDEO!!!
Now I have to try each one, see what works best for my situation, and practice until I can do it blindfolded with one hand.
Thank you Mr Bino H!
You can do it!
@@BinoH You're cool Mr H.
@@savage22bolt32 thank you!
Thanks Bino! This is very helpful. I watch the video multiple times and it helps me a lot. I still haven't figured out what determines the length and diameter of the prusik to be used.
8mm for diameter is what I use. The length is something you have to try and see what you like.
Thanks again Bino.
Awesome. I learnt a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Best climb hitches video on YT..i watch it everyday.
Nice, Thank you!
I finally know what my hitch is called! (VT Hitch). Lmao. After 5 years of climbing, I always climbed it the “climbing knot” because the people who taught me didn’t know what the knot was called. Thanks!
You're welcome!
I've been trying to learn and try all these for the past few weeks and was thinking "these are all small variations on the same thing, why doesn't anyone teach it that way?" Great video!
That's true, thank you!
Iffy
Show de bola, parabéns adorei.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome!
Brilliant!
Thank you!
We all like your skills. Teach,Share,Learn. It's a good living!
Thank you!
I have no idea how anyone can give this a thumbs down. Great lesson.
I am bias but I agree with you. Thank you!
Nice work preciate it
You bet! Take care!
great video, nice to watch, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it, take care!
Great video!! Nice work!!
Thank you very much!
You have 💯 succeeded in your mission this video!
I appreciate that!
Great work Bino 😉👍
Thank you!
Bloody awesome :)
Thank you!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
All in one video , nice brotha
Thank you!
Fantastic video.
Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
You're a natural born teacher; thanks for the info. What type (brand) of rope do you use for your hitches? The rope I've been using is somewhat stiff and more difficult to form than what you are using (I'm a newbie).
I use HRC cord and sometimes Beeline. Thank you!
Instablaster...
Awesome vid !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great explanation in the hitches. I’m a hunter and will be climbing trees (one-stick method) and will definitely be using one of those hitches. Any recommendations on which is best for possible wet weather (I heard the schwabisch can lock up when wet) and which rope/hitch sizes you prefer?
I don't climb very often in wet weather. You might give the michoacan or the Knut a try. Not sure how well they will work in wet condtions though. For me th Schwabisch gets tight on dry rope.
@@BinoH that I will do. One thing that is a must is to practice and be comfortable with whatever setup I go with....including practicing in wet weather.
Thanks
I'm glad you liked it!
I'm switching over from the Blake's to the Hitchclimber Eccentric. I'm going to focus on the VT in different variations & also the Schwabish. I'm just looking forward this weekend in my controlled environment to find something to use with my new saddle. I have a 60+' double maple which I can climb from either side with a couple of different paracord presets. When I accomplish that I'm going to incorporate my new Pinto. I bought the spacer with it for redirects. Interested in what u would use with it when incorporating this way.
I like the Michoacan, it works great for me.
@@BinoH Bino would u use the it on 11.4mm Samson DRT climbing rope with Michoacon using an 8mm or 9mm 28"-30" ? I have 1 of each & they r new Beeline.
@@josephtreadlightly5686 I would use the 8mm and 28 inch. What I normally use is an 8mm 24 inch cord and have 4 wraps. If you're using a 28 inch you may need 5 wraps. Remember to test it low and slow.
@@BinoH Yeah Bino. I watched a different video about tree climbing Prusiks where u said to do 5 wraps with the 28". That's what I did cuz I'm long & lean. I spent a half hour @ the base of the 🌳 testing. My yard with good cover so I didn't look like an idiot or anything. I found that taking 3 to 5 screenshots of the each of the different hitches helped my brain click since I wanted to tie them right the 1st time. That Eccentric with the oval DMM carabiner going through the top hole with a factory tied loop is 1 slick & clean system. Just wanted u to know that there isn't another video out there that I can take 3 to 5 screenshots of the process. I will probably stick with the Michoacon & Knut cuz I like those two ends going the opposite way to attach on either end of the Eccentric. Thank you so much & enjoy the longer & hopefully warmer days😊
@@josephtreadlightly5686 great glad to help and good to hear your progress. Take care!
Спасибо!!!
You're welcome and Thank you!
Can you tell me what you would or how or why you would use each of the knots you showed
You really do not need to know all of them but if you learn them. You can make a good choice on what one you like best.
great work thanks a lot! I'm just starting off with climbing. One question coming up: how do you chose a hitch over another?
You choose the hitch that works the best for you.
Thank you for your mostly useful videos.
Just a comment, if it is possible the see a little less ads during the play of the videos, will be nice.
use addblock. There was exactly zero adds I saw in this vid 😎
Thank you.
I wish you had made this video when I first started learning lol. You described and presented this strategy very well compared to others I have learned from. I started climbing on a Blake’s and eventually adopted the Swabish which I’ve been climbing on ever since. Definitely going to try out some the CT / XT as I came here looking to learn more about those specially.
Thank you for the informative video!
Thank you for the awesome comment. Take care!
try coloring a rope half one color and half another. then use the terms upper and lower or left and right line, and people will also be able to see it by color
Thank for your input.
very nice
Thank you!
I wish I could have learned this when I was young
Thanks
Hi Bino thank you for teaching us, what hitch would be the closest to a zigzag? Thank you in advance
I don't know if a hitch could run as smooth as a Zig Zag. A VT may move as fast though.
@@BinoH thank you Bino!
Great video. I have a question. What makes you decide to use DRT or SRT? Is there certain situations where you prefer one over the other?
For me I like SRT more often than DRT just because it's easier. although it may be easier to use DRT on removals. I think it's more personal preference.
@@BinoH thanks
This is an AWESOME video. I just have one question though; what are the strengths of each one in relation to the others? Thanks man...
It depends. If you are asking the breaking strength the rope we used in the video is at 7,000 pounds and the hitch cord is at 6,500 pounds. If you are wondering how well will each hitch hold in the way I tied them for me they are equal. The all move a bit different some are more grippy and some less. It's good idea to try different one of course low and slow to see what one you perfer.
good job
Thank you!
Hi, Bino! I'm about to start using a friction hitch for climbing SRT. So, which one would you recommend, considering my weight? (100+ kg) I have a bunch of the proper 8 &10mm prusik cords (28-32") and Samson HyperClimb 11.7mm climbing line. Thanks!
I like the Michoacan and the Knut.
@@BinoH Yeah, I've seen those lessons too, just wanted to hear your final thought (up-to-date). Nice channel, you are great instructor.
VT is short for Valdotain Tresse knot. Is your Valdotain a variation of VT (Valdotain Tresse)?
Yes it is short for the Valdotain Tresse. A Valdotain is tied without braids and I believe the VT is a variation of it.
Hey bino is tennex good for hitch climbing??? Would tennex make a good split tail?
I know that it's sold in arborists supply companies but I've never used it. The ones I use the most is HRS cord and Beeline.
When would you use each over the others?
The first ones seem to serve the same purpose.
They all work well it would be preference the ones the you like best.
Sweet speed-run on hitches but what I really wish you would have done more than anything else is explain why. Why any one hitch is preferred over another. The applications of hitches and which to avoid, etc. Overall, I appreciate the video and time you put into it
When it comes to hitches it's user preference. If you try a few different hitches you may find one you like over the rest or find what occasion to use a hitch over another one.
@@BinoH Do you mean they are all giving the same amount of safety? It's more a matter of trying out and get a feel for them?
Hope my question makes sense...
What size diameter are the ropes that your using
In this video I'm using a 1/2 in climbing line and a 30" 8mm cord.
Bino, is the knut the same as catalist hitch?
I have never used the catalist hitch but it look different than the Knut.
Which knot to tie youre hitch climber with works best
It's your preference. I like the Michoacán.
@@BinoH thank you I appreciate every video you make. Im Excited to try out my hitch climber eccentric what are you're thoughts on them?
How did you make the ends? Instead of buying a pre-made sewn eye? It looks like what you did would save a lot of $$$
With this cord I bought it with the wrapped ends and tied the double fisherman's bends. Depending on the cord you buy you might be able to melt the end but if it's heat resistant sew the end and whip them then tie your double fisherman's. I don't know if it's a big saving if you are buying one. Each double fisherman's takes a good amount of cord.
What’s the knot at the end of your hitch line ?
a Fisherman's Knot or some people call it a Scaffold Knot.
Bino, do you have a favorite “go-to” hitch that you use most often ? How about the viewers, what do you like best. I am super noob to climbing. I tried my first climb the other day using a Blake’s hitch. After weighting the Blake’s hitch it was so tight it seemed like it didn’t want to slide up. Next time I’ll use a prusik cord and one of these. I’m constantly reminding myself “start low and go slow”. Looking for more beginner advice. Thx!
I like the Michoacan and the Knut. I like to use a 24" 8mm cord.
Can those hitches be done with a closed loop cord?
I don't believe so. Probably the regular prussik.
Bino or anyone else, can you name the knots you use on the ends of your hitch cord ? And the diameter of hitch cord used here, too ?
I used double fisherman's bend and HRC cord at 8mm.
Could also be called a Scaffold hitch
@@danielg2253 Yes I believe it is the same knot.
Prettiest tree when it blooms. It’s a great tree for your neighbor across the street to have
So you don't have to clean?
@@BinoH so you don’t have to clean and the roots don’t destroy your plumbing, lawn and anything else they encounter But they are Beautiful.
@@jamesklinger2146 too funny that sounds like something I would say!
What I'm missing is, what are each of these used for. Why use one vs another. Thanks.
They are are for tree climbing. The reason to use one over anther is how it works for you. Some move very quick and some less.
What if my hitch gets to tight? Sometimes when I am repelling my schwabisch get so tight I can no longer repel. 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
That used to happen with me. That's I explored the different climbing hitches to find the one that works best with me. Here are some thing that can make a hitch become to tight or loose. the type of cord if it's hard or soft and your rope some ropes act different with certain cords. The length of the cord and how many wraps are taken.
I made a video Title is Tree Climbing Prusik Cords. check it out it might help.
@@BinoH thanks so much. 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
@@cb5600 you're welcome!
Great video but I still climb on the catalyst 👍🙃
Cool that's a nice hitch!
I hate to assume so ill just ask: to tie all these hitches to yourself you just capture both ends of the hitch with a carabiner then attach that carabiner to your umbilical/ventral connection point? TIA
Have a look at this video. these videos may help out. czcams.com/video/tFUx33Lli4g/video.html
czcams.com/video/51ZIwvRQ2GI/video.html
I like the way Buckin Billy ties the taut line hitch. It goes out in the middle.
czcams.com/video/nw8_BMlV-o4/video.html
There's a one more wrap and IMO it's not really a Taut line hitch as described on animatedknots.com but some of your hitches may be different than the official versions too. Blake's hitch should leave the knot in the middle too. In the end all you need is one that works and that you know and one more when the first one is slipping on a wet rope or something.
True it's good to know a least 2.
Okay Bino. Next step how to get a lot of ball to climb the hights and don't be afraid.Next lesson.
Too funny! It's true next lesson the more you clime the easier it will become. You don't have to rush it just get used to it. Take care!
@@BinoH thanks bro. I will try to climb a 80feet pine tree .
Are you maybe a southpaw? Somehow I tie everything wrapping backwards compared to you.
Yes I am. True the hitches may be in revers but as long as it has all of the parts to the hitch it will work. Thank you!
Thanks good vid. BTW, I’ve been loving the Michoacán since you introduced me to it.
Catalyst/cornell hitch are probably the most fail proof for me, personally. I've had those 2 work with all types of lengths, wraps, climbing line etc. The way they bend the climbing line makes it grab more consistently when you compare it to basic hitches, from what I've seen.
Thank you for the info. I have not used the Cornell Hitch yet. I think I will look into it. Take care!
The only people that could give this a down vote are bucket truck guys ;^)
Too funny thank you!
Not sure what application you're avocation. Part of the issue is people don't understand application. It is better for most people to have just a few knots and be able to do them 100% in ant situation.
The application is in Tree climbing. It is a good idea to learn a few hitches to find the ones that work well with your climbing style.
