Prusik knots (also called friction hitches or climbing hitches) are one of the foundations of climbing and work positioning for arborists. Nick Bonner explains the pros and cons of four different hitches and how to tie them, plus tips on hitch cords like diameter and eye type - sewn eye or spliced eye.

New'ish climber here. I'd never made the connection that the schwabisch and distel were so similar up until the end. Haven't given the distel a chance up until this point. I think I will now as it's the only one from this video I haven't used.

That was very well done. Thank you Nick. Be Safe best,

These are great videos. Here's a comment for the algo

Some of my own observations from use practicing with the VT: As Nick mentioned, the VT tends to be easier to break after fully loading it, but the amount of sit back I've experienced is annoying and results in wasted effort. I've temporarily switched to using it for other places like my lanyard and it tends easier than a regular english prusik where my pulley tends to eat and jam on a regular prusik. Then again, I'm still newer and perhaps just need more practice fiddling with it. Richard Mumford has some interesting videos that discuss the variations and nuance adjustments that can come from putting twists in the legs of the friction hitch.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I highly recommend the Michoacán hitch, which is my go-to nowadays. It's equally easy to tie if you know the Blake's hitch--just come out with the cord after the first bottom wrap instead of the second and then use both ends of the cord. I find it to be a nice compromise as it tends nicely and still is more predictable when locking than the VT. Also it takes up much less space. It still can change a little during usage and might not bite properly anymore if it becomes too loose, so still be careful to watch the knot ;)

Thanks you for the information and instruction in tying friction hitches. I have been climbing for two years and have yet to use one knot over the other. I've tried the distel with different variations, different cords and ropes to find that it tends to jam when heavily loaded which we all know is a drag when climbing. Having to tend a friction hitch to break it free when ready to progress takes energy. I've used the VT 4/3 in SRT but don't like the way the legs end to separate when loaded. Now I am experimenting with the michoacan and have hopes it will suit me for climbing on various ropes with different hitch cords. It's nice to know we have option in climbing.. Be safe

Gotta try many options are you using rope wrench

Haven't even started tying knots or climbing yet. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. BS'D

Excellent presentation, thanks for the info.

Thanks for watching!

@paulog405 3 года назад

Great video. Thanks. I wonder if you could give us your point of view on how safe it would be to use a 6mm rope, 12KN, for Prusik knots to climb rocks and trees. Thank you.

@kencanoe 4 года назад

I like the knut... it self tends sometimes

@lucfournier3939 4 года назад

Verry good

Michoacán with my Rope Wrench” the fix” dbl eye tether. The VT with the longer single eye tether.

@christophersprague1279 2 года назад

Michoacan is the way to go man..🤙 ever try the petrocan? After tying the michoacan just throw your pulley on the opposite side you normally do and throw in your biner . And that's the petrocan does react a bit different. It's nice. Been using the cataloan lately great hitch aswell. Climb safe 🌴🤙

Really appreciate these instructional videos - I like the way you explain not only the good & bad, but also the WHY. I'm coming back to climbing, originally learned in the olden days with just a tautline hitch - that Blake guy wasn't even born yet.... Anyway, my question is, is there a downside to having your legs longer after your hitch is tied? In other words - say you can tie a distel with a 28" cord, but you use a 32", so each leg ends up 2" longer. Is there any difference in the performance of the hitch if your hardware is down a bit further off the hitch & line? I guess it might affect the tending pulley if you use one.... You mentioned spliced vs. sewn eyes as far as stiffness, but does the distance itself affect the performance of the hitch?

@TreeStuffdotcom 2 года назад

Hi there. Thanks! The distance definitely does effect it, make sure to tinker with it low and slow!

@dan-dan-da-treeman 4 года назад

Excellent information. Which interstate you live by? We were up there last year. I wish I would have stopped by and said hey. I was going to reset #1. Love you guys! Thanks much for what you all do.

Can you do one with the michoican?

@treemanstan838 2 года назад

can you make a video on using a presik on a lanyard?

@age_of_reason 7 месяцев назад

Is a 6mm prusik on a 8mm lifeline rope ok for roofing (2-story) safety setup?

There is just one simple question I have, that nobody for some reason can answer. Can you climb SRT without a mechanical device, aka, with a prusik. I’ve got some big trees to cut down, and Im going to chunk them down in firewood sizes. Being able to go SRT without spending a boatload of money on a device would be great. Many thanks in advance for the advice!

@kokkinias Год назад

80 mm long? Thanks

He must be standing on the shoulder of a major highway??? Suggestion: Film your videos in a quite background - much easier to listen to!

@fixed_geartv 7 месяцев назад

@richardnailhistorical3445 You literally found the most pathetic thing to complain about…? You’re welcome for the information you found informative simply because you did not critic his knot information… Pity

@richardnailhistorical3445 7 месяцев назад

You're a dizzy bastard, my comment was justified, if you want people to learn something do it in an area they can hear what you are saying. The comment was made for your benefit but apparently your so goddamm self conscious you see it as a threat of some sort?

Nick Bonner called the cops on my business partner, and told them he doesn't want our business anymore, then continued to send soliciting Emails twice a day of inventory HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE IN STOCK!!!! Bartlet arborist supply in Michigan has everything for much cheaper then this clown. Trust me. Just have a look
