Friction hitches every climber should know | beginner climbing | how to tie knots for tree climbing

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Not a climber but I was looking for something that would hold my backpack on a pole while camping. Thanks for the great work.

[@hosocat1410]

I've been a distel guy, mainly because it's easy to remember how to tie 😆 but I've had the same issues with it starting to bind after a while. Think I'll try the michoacan. Thanks!

[@christophersprague1279]

After you dial the michocan to your weight 3 or 4 wraps ....you'll never go back to a distel.

[@brendonjohnson6595]

I like the michoooacan as well. Nice and compact, decends smoothly and rarely gets bound up.

[@pcsmachineworks]

I've always been a distel with a micropulley to tend, and usually use a Blake's when I have to jump lines to maneuver around in the canapy. Go back to the distel once I get back into a working position or my main line is where I want it. Now, my younger brother who learned tree work through a linesman apprenticeship learned most of the same knots and hitches that I learned, but they use completely different names. The only one we can ever agree on is the bowline, makes for some interesting days when we work a job together....

[@dylanrott9956]

I'd love to work with my two brothers

[@jasblick9984]

Taught line hitch is what I learned on. A LONG time ago, lol. We used anchor knots at our bridge. I like the rolling clove hitch, tho to extend the bridge length. We always used figure 8 stopper knots. Climbing has changed so much

[@VermonsterGrows]

This is how I learned to climb originally in a closed system with just the line. Then I started to use a split tail and so on!

[@ScoobyAndFriends]

Totally enjoy the content...always clear and concise, it's very much appreciated. But I didn't turn into a fan until whatever video you mentioned you threw down on the mats. Then I knew, "this guy was my kind of person" and who I wanted to learn from to take my rock climbing knowledge over to the tress. Awesome!

[@jbbolts]

really curious... what do you mean when you mention threw down on the mats?

[@jaredeberly9724]

@@jbbolts wrestling. I just watched the throw line basics video where he mentioned he wasn’t a baseball player he wrestled.

[@VermonsterGrows]

When you showed the single roap technique after you tied the clove and in between your blakes there should be a stopper knot. Liking the videos. The friction hitches you showed do work well with a pulley

[@davidchang8428]

This was also a cool historical take, and shows how the hitches are related to each other.

[@chaswarren7239]

The Distel hitch is simply a rolling hitch with extra turns. Super reliable - I use all the time.

[@jra.x2enxtlvl]

13:16 Great knowledge. I received my aerial rescue certification in s.lake Tahoe right after the angora fire destroyed much of the eldorado basin. I just wanted to say thanx for the video it was informative. I want to attend your course

[@stevebrough304]

Thanks for the review of the friction hitches. I got a kick out of you finally pronouncing michoacan properly. Being in southern California and closer to Mexico, where Michoacan is a state, I've heard it for many decades. Thanks for the video.

[@IndianaCards]

Distel and VT for me 🤙🌲

[@giorgiobosoni6172]

You've forgot to mention that some of those hitches, only work with different diameter ropes, being the friction cord thinner then the climbing rope.

[@victoriyasinoj8974]

[@chaswarren7239]

Or the same size works too.

[@thehub9949]

Cooper's hitch is my favorite.

[@Nevrambaiel]

Wonderfully explained, thank you.

[@XxtwichedxX]

Samson arbor master 13 mil, 30 inch ocean cord (10 mil) tie a catalyst hitch and you got a knot that's comparable to the petzl zig zag no BS. There's a reason that length and width of cord is so expensive nowadays, people are figuring out the sweet spot. Black bee line for prime results

[@tomlynch9706]

Catalon /#ArbsessionHitch or Knut are my favorites currently.

[@spacecat86]

VT all the way. Been converting my fellow climbers at work. Gonna try the Knut soon tho

[@kcsanson4216]

Distel is noicee

[@daveaskin1333]

Me experience is VT has too much set back. Keen to try knut.

Friction hitches every climber should know | beginner climbing thanks that tutorial

[@cozmo3778]

Thnx for sharing very informative 👊🏽

[@DaveyBlue32]

Nice work!

[@alexmelnua]

Tell me, what length of cord do you use to make a ready-to-use Prusik cord with loops?

[@aufgeweckt]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@amourmtungo623]

Thank you for the tips

[@ninazeng6036]

Nice job!

[@tinaknutsen]

You would have no problems with any macrame patterns😊 Great tutorial. I don’t know any of these hitches…need to get some rope and play around and learn so I can teach all my grandssons. Stoked I’m getting a granddaughter very soon! …,bout time!!!

[@Stridertrees]

They are handy :) good luck figuring them out

[@lancerudy9934]

Thanks

[@istra70]

Super helpful and useful and interesting ....

[@bwrightaway2877]

The VT was the 1st one I learned.

[@tylercordill3469]

Crazy they don’t want us learning that tell we 4th step, not sure why

[@atubeviewer4942]

Ive looked for the diagram set up but cant find it or the climbing 101 free class you said they're in. PS, great video

[@redscortgt93]

Can you use this as a life line/second connection when climbing with spurs and a lanyard?

[@maximebousquet6342]

Xstatic is not spliceable. 😁 Great video with great contents. 👍

[@jirajira2872]

You are awesome 😎

[@mackgmoney1515]

Great video! Only thing missing is the beard.

[@robertboone8407]

How is it going and stoked to see new chanel and helpful knowledge. Would you recommend a spider jack 3 or zigzag system??

[@Stridertrees]

Zigzag hands down ! I’ve got both.

[@MartinMorales-un8li]

Blakes hitch is only 4 turns, more than that would be personal preference

[@smctree]

"Realy old-school"!?...Blake's hitch? I must be super old-school, i learned on a taught line hitch.And Arborplex was the cutting edge!

[@lancerudy9934]

Does the hitch work when the rope get wet from the rain?.

[@igorfilchakov2254]

Klemheist works in both directions equally well. It has another name only -Hedden Knot (a.k.a. Kreutzklem)

[@arianvakili8964]

What kind of hitch cord is that thinking of getting a tenex cord bc the cord are so rough very curious is that tenex??

[@davidchang8428]

so which hitch is best, and why?

[@murxermurxer2518]

Thanks! Which has the best breaking load?

[@kurtjacobson389]

If you cant run/ tie a cord you should not be on a mechanical 💡

[@jungleghostsurvival]

Bigfoot territory !!! Nice location!

[@lancerudy6584]

What size rope are you using?

[@alejandrotorres8274]

What size rope was that and how long was that rope u used to do friction hidges?

[@Stridertrees]

All my climb ropes are roughly 12mm and I prefer a shorter hitch cord. If I can I usually go with 28” hitch cord but if it’s longer it’s not a big deal as these hitches can be modified with an extra wrap to make it work if need be. It’s just not quite as easy to work with.

[@jordanbeyer7607]

Why do you not recommend the blakes hitch?.. you never said why

[@ytube777]

my understanding is it's considered "open" in that the hitch could work loose and the tail could slip through. The "safe" friction hitches are "closed" in the sense that there is no tail to slip through the knot (you have ropes with eyes at the end that are carabiner'd togethered).

[@groundpounder24365]

VT and xt for me lol

[@jasonbarrow6198]

I can’t seem to find the climbing 101 class on your website.

[@Stridertrees]

The videos are recorded but I have not connected them to the website yet! I'll be available soon. I'm in the process of changing web hosting, and it's all a bit tedious. Sorry!

[@jasonbarrow6198]

[@stevewallbanger5408]

Keep working on the explanation. You forgot some important Lingo things. Like T.D.S. tie,dress and set. And who invented it and when! I've had to learn it inside and out Blindfolded. Luv ya. Get high, climb trees! Keep on keeping on.

[@lauriemacquanan2141]

I am learning to tie knots and your knot tying in thshade is a bit hard to see your technique.

[@TheEGS4]

What kind of prusik were you using in this video??

[@jbbolts]

lol.... are you trolling?

[@paulcrave3112]

So a Michoacán can only be tied with a split tail?

[@Stridertrees]

It’s a knot that works best with an eye to eye prussic cord but you can use any friction cord if you tie the proper hitch with the ends it’s just a slower process then if you’ve already got spliced eyes

[@paulcrave3112]

@@Stridertrees what I mean is, can I tie a michoac'an if I have a sewn loop of cord?

[@Stridertrees]

@@paulcrave3112 no its not meant for that
