Excellent instruction! When i learned to tie the bowline knot, I learned it as a rabbit coming up out of its rabbit hole, going around the back of the tree, and going back down the rabbit hole. This visuaization really helped me to retain the memory of how to tie the knot. Similarly, your visualization of the teeth, mouth (lip), and tongue are indelibly etched in my memory of how to tie these prusik knots! Thank you!

Very well presented. I was an educational administrator for 20+ years and I know a great teacher when I see one!

Thank you for the comprehensive instruction the the Prusik knots and their uses. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

This is fascinating! I learned the classic prusik for rescue operations, but they do bite hard and dont like to release. I prefer the double fisherman to create the loop because it won't let go. We use cord that is 60-80% of the main line diameter for the prusik, but I prefer the cord to be on the skinnier side for a more aggressive bite. 60% of 12mm gives us a 7mm cord, but I like the 6mm better.

Excellent instruction! Thank you!

Great video! Thank you for sharing nice stuffs.

Thank you for all that you teach me, by the way I got my beanie from CAC. From California thanks!!

Good video. I didn’t know the difference between these prusik knots, but I do now.

Paul Crave Did you see the part about releasing the Klemhiest too? It’s key to releasing the classic as well. They are very aggressive ‘biters’ of the rope which is a good thing but can become a issue when needing to move them. All resolved if you remember to push the loop over before you try and slide them.

Jeremy Ballard thanks very much. Always amazing what a couple of skinny bits of cord can do! 😃

I’ve always known the classic Prusik with 3 wraps instead of 2 and find it moves easier after loading.

You are correct. The prusik should always have 6 coils when used for life support.

That was very helpful. Thank You.

What diameters are your climbing rope and prusik cord? What would you recommend for climbing trees?

Would it be better to use a figure eight on the prusiks vs over hand?
