My first introduction to climbing last week… A guy who was gracious enough to meet me and show me a few things that I never even met before… He showed me this system except he called the knot a monkey fist or a taught line hitch and it was tied a bit different … And I was not comfortable with it…it seemed loose and not secure .However, it did work… We went 40 feet up into a tree… And repelled down. I like this version way better…

No bs. Remembering this knot saved my life today. I only looked it up to make sure I did it right. Which I did. I kinda had doubt I did it right but I was able to safely descend. And I just wanted to watch a video to make sure I did it right

I just started my climbing journey for trees of course but this was one of the first knots I was told to learn and learn it to a T

I love that you have at least a section of a tree in your office.

this is the best video to explain how to do this out there, very quick, simple, and straight to the point on all steps

Thank you EVER SO MUCH for explaining everything STEP BY STEP! So many other tutorial instructors assume that one already knows each step, or they don't understand how to give precise explanations regarding how AND why. This was just what I needed after watching a dozen others with poor results.

climbed today for the first time in thirty years and just watched this vid to refresh the knot...cant believe i had forgotten...lol...thanks for the awsome work

I love these simple easy straight to it videos Without all that talking he gets straight to what you want to know💯🙏

Well done sir. Well illustrated without skipping over steps.

Thanks dude ! I am starting out. This was really helpful. I can tell you are dedicated by the fact you live in a treehouse, with a trunk in your office for knot practice.

That is the best tree climbing tying knots to be use for all future tree hoisting. Thank You sir! For providing such a crucial guide in tree climbing knot tie.

Thanks for your most awesome video showing how to tie the Blake hitch! I started climbing in 93 and the knot I learned on was the tautline hitch with a bowlin as an anchor knot, I remember when I first saw the Blake’s hitch, it was used on its on in a closed system like you described, then with split tail system a bit later. Using your thumb for the first 2 wraps really helps make it easier to tie!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you. The mid-line clove is exactly what I was looking for.

A Blake's hitch is all you need takes two seconds to tie works perfectly and experienced climbers use this almost 100 percent of the men I've worked with for 40 years use this because it works great

@@wyliehj I started climbing in '96 and most of these devices like the Zigzag didn't even exist. All we used for ascending the tree was the Blake's Hitch. It was the first knot I learned. All body thrusting up the tree. I don't know how the Zigzag works but I feel safer using a double line because I know I'm the only one in control of my climbing line. It also locks up on it's own when you let go of the knot. That's good just in case you slip off a limb or kick out with the spurs. There's no plastic or metal that can break unexpectantly. It's slower but whose in a rush when your life is on a rope.

This is a great description on how to tie the Blake's hitch, love it.

I feel old now. Haven't used that system for years! I figured I'm old enough now that if I want a tree in my living room to relax and hang from while watching T.V. in the evening, dang it I'm gonna get one!

I'm learning the trade and have been enjoying and appreciating your information packed videos! Great job!

You have the best knot tutorials. So easy to learn.

If I can add to this by saying if your tie in point is high up in a very tall tree and you have a very long decent, go slowly because it's rope on rope friction inside the knot and can melt the rope if descending too rapidly ! Thanks and Merry Christmas Tree-Muggs and family !

Yup. I designed a knot that was similar to this and a Prussic. When load testing it (not in trees or at height) the load would increase but the knot didn't move. The the load exceeded the knots strength. The knot jumped a foot down the line, melted and welded to its new location. Not what I had expected. LOL

@savage22bolt32

I have a flipline & homemade lanyard. But I won't really feel safe until I back everything up with a taut life line. Either from higher up in the same tree, or from a close adjacent tree. This might do the trick. I like simple.

I’ve been watching videos on the 2nd attempt of the north face of the Eiger in 1936. It ended in disaster. The Blake’s hitch may have allowed Kurtz to survive. He only had one good arm but he may have been able to tie this to the rope above him, and continue abseiling on that rope to avoid the knot that jammed in his carabiner, leaving him dangling up there. Just sort of a thought experiment. Great video! And he could’ve tied a stopper on the first rope so if the Blake slipped, it would hit the stopper

These are great videos! Keep them coming! Thanks

Thank you so much for a clear and easy to follow instructions

learned this when I started working as tree surgeon 40 years ago

I'm going to study it very carefully! Thanks a lot for clearness. 👍🇮🇹

Wow glad I rewatched this. New to climbing w gear, and it seems I switched this around at some point 😅. Thank you for your thorough walk through. Been working the wrong way I was doing it, (some minor slippage) but I trust those gone before me it’s done Properly this way for a reason.

Excellent demonstration, thank you

Excellent video. Thank you! Many Blessings!

I like tying knots but I’ve never climbed anything. Now I want to try. Subscribed.

Thanks for the thumb trick. I’ve always had a learning block with that

My favorite tutorial to climb my tree. Thanks

Good video man. You have the camera in an angle where we can actually see and you do go the speed of light when tying the knots so the viewer can follow along. Other people’s videos drive me crazy because it’s hard to see what’s going on and they go way too fast. You got it just right.

@Eric kicking liberals you could have to replace a new rope the same day if you use it wrong but it depends on how you use it, whether you use a friction saver or not, and how much of a load, as a rule once a year if all is good or if there is fraying esp if it's a rope that the jacket is the weight bearing element and the core just holds the shape of the rope. If you have a second thought retire it your life is worth more than the cost of a new rope.

Great video for new apprentice like me , thank you !
