Detailed, thorough, and articulate demonstration. Well done!

[@julietterouesse7832]

Thank you! I was pulling my hair trying to understand the lowering technique with a munster hitch (described in a book) and your video was a life saver!!

[@SK-qc6fb]

I like the variation on the Clove Hitch!.....very easy to remembder.

[@RawSauce338]

Well done! I love munters. Very useful for contingent rigging as well.

[@paulmorrey4298]

Great video Thanks

[@AMC-eq3jr]

Great technique and tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@antony4546]

Thanks you! The only tutorial needed

[@coachrr]

Well done, this should be taught in schools as a necessary life skill.

Lol talk about shit you're never gonna use.

[@rjmunt]

@@austinyun learn some knots, they'll definitely come in handy. The day you use one simple knot that you can untie again, it'll be worth it. Clove hitches are like magic, alpine butterfly, truckers hitch, prusiks, bowline are a few that could save your day or your life someday. It was worth learning to tie shoelaces, for example.

THANK YOU, FOR DEMONSTRATING THIS USEFUL KNOT APPLICATION(S)! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE "SUPER-MUNTER"....

[@glenurquhart2300]

Great vid ! Thank you !

[@pappysproductions]

Excellent

[@QwertQwert-fs2xg]

Great... support

[@coltentackett892]

i call it the Italian hitch. didn't know it had other names

[@mabecka]

Also calle HMS, Halbmastwurfsicherung or Halbmastwurf bremse, (German). Many weird names for a classic repel. Cheers.

[@mabecka]

Also called: HMS, Halbmastwurfsicherung or Halbmastwurf bremse, (German). Easy to control with little equipment. Eating rope though...

[@willowufgood1254]

Thanks for vidéo

Nice video. However, using a Munter hitch on an aluminum carabiner has the potential to overheat the carabiner to the point of failure. Especially if you happen to use a braided rope such as Tech-12 or Amsteel. Steel carabiners should ALWAYS be used in a rescue or recovery in my opinion. Disagree? Let me know why.

[@dunklezwiebel]

Do you have a nice source for that or some accident reports? While aluminium heats up faster because it has a lower mass, it also conducts heat faster and will cool more rapidly.

[@OmmerSyssel]

Steel biners simply aren't part of ordinary climbers equipment.. Next to that, aluminium cools as fast as it might heat. It's not a race party anyways

[@YamaLama-fh6mr]

lets make the 1000 full 😙

[@richardcarey169]

Useful but it trashes ropes

[@OmmerSyssel]

Not really an issue, been climbing with loads of climbers using HMS they're whole life, and no ropes showed any noticeable issues. Use it myself with no specific problems. It's very important to be familiar with, when technical safety device is lost! Ask me how I know ... Fellow climbers rejected HMS until they both lost their beloved fancy tech in snow storm 🤷🏼
