In my opinion the Klemheist is the best friction hitch in this TOP 3, Do you agree?

I don't prefer one hitch over another as a rule. I find which hitch works best for the application, hitch cord, and line I'm going with. I like your videos... well done. Thank you for making and sharing them.

Just wondering why one is any better than the others? Of course you can’t tie the middle one with a loop / bight in the cord.

Sometimes it's a combination of the climbing rope and the prusik cord used that makes one friction hitch grab better then the other. The Prusik is easy to tie although it's sometimes a bit tricky to get the ends aligned when using an eye to eye prusik cord. In my experience the prusik can also be a bit difficult to advance after it has been loaded.

Same goes for me when it comes to the Distel Hitch (not in this video). I use that one a lot because I personally find it a very easy to tie hitch and it is pretty fool proof. The Prusik can be a bit difficult to advance after it has been load heavily.

Great video thanks for the explanations and demos !

Your welcome glad it was useful to you. Which of the friction hitches do you prefer?

I prefer the midshipman's hitch, perhaps with additional wraps. It provides much more friction and is still easily adjusted.

For climbing? Think it's related to the Blake's hitch. But that's out of the scope of this video. Those are closely related simple friction hitches.

Nice clear demonstration. Do both working ends have to be loaded? Equally? How is that accomplished? What problems are solved by moving to each hitch? What limitations of each? What diameter lines are compatible?

@WoodenShoesHomestead

Thank you, glad you liked it! You can attach a carabiner through the spliced eyes to generated a balanced load on both strands and that will also prevent the hitch from becoming undone. If you want a hitch that works well with one strand you should look into the Blakes hitch: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f5hk2spwg7vIhZM.html The Klemheist works very well with the secured foot lock technique when climbing. Prusik cord diameter depends on the material of the Prusik cord being used. Some are more flexible then others. This can easily be tested by folding the cord and checking the loop that forms when doing so. The smaller the loop the more flexible the cord, the bigger the loop the stiffer the cord. Flexible Prusik cord grabs easier and can therefore be thicker compared to less flexible cord. In the video I use 8mm Prusik cord with an 11mm climbing line. For me that works very well. When secured foot locking on a double rope I use 11mm Prusik cord.

😊Thanks😊

My sisters favorite knot is what I call a gravity knot. About 12 or more half hitches and the sheer weight of the knot holds it together.

Schwäbisch is the adjective for describing things from Schwabia, a region in Southern Germany. I suppose that knot came from that region. Prusik is from Austria, not far away. Klemheist sounds pretty Germanic too.

The prusik is usually very tight. I prefer the simple machard (there are variations)

@WoodenShoesHomestead

Жыл бұрын

Yes I have the same experience with the Prusik it can be very hard to break especially when wet. The Machard is indeed easier to advance, I also use the Distel hitch often. That one is a bit more advanced then those three easy friction hitches but it has an easier release.

I tried these an the last 2 work very well on the same size rope not like the first one the rope has to he smaller.

I usually use an 8mm prusik cord on an 11mm climbing line. But the Schwabisch, klemheist and also the Blake's hitch work in general well if you use the same diameter prusik cord as the climbing line. It also depends on the material of the climbing line.

Oh, like that. Paracord is indeed a bit different. I also use the Blake's hitch with paracord, for example to tighten the lines on a tarp. The advantage with the Blake's hitch (kzread.info/dash/bejne/f5hk2spwg7vIhZM.html) is that you can tie it in the tail end of the rope, creating an adjustable loop.

which one is best for backing up a rapell ?

@WoodenShoesHomestead

The prusik is a very reliable friction hitch for this. It is very easy to tie as well. The backup knot should be tied below your rappel device. For easy access, nothing is more frustrating than the friction hitch being just out of reach. (Been there) And for load sharing with the rappel device.

Do u need a zigzag or any fancy equipment attached to it if u use a prusik

@WoodenShoesHomestead

11 ай бұрын

That is not necessary, but a more advanced setup will make life easier. Body thrusting up a tree with only a prusik is doable but very hard on the body. Climbing aids like a rope wrench and a foot ascender will make climbing much easier.

What would be the best friction hitch to attach rope to chain?

@WoodenShoesHomestead

18 күн бұрын

I've never heard of this. I can't give you any useful advice as I personally never tried that. Hope it's not for climbing because I doubt it will work reliably due to chain being slippery and not compressable. You probably will get hung up on each link as well.

Maybe with the normal prusik hitch (kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXdtq6SgcZDPfdo.html), that's a symmetrical friction hitch ideal when loading can occur from both directions. You can add or remove wraps when needed. In my sailing days I never attached the anchor with a chain but I used a rope and an anchor hitch. That's the advantage of having no rocks on the bottom of a lake. An issue with knots and hitches is that they often start to react differently when tied in wet rope.

Nice but why you waring gloves ,are you affraid of the rope.😄

Yes sometimes it bites. It gives a bit more grip on the rope which makes it easier to tie the knots. Also it's a bit clearer to see and easier to edit.
