In this episode, I will discuss the SYNERGY friction hitch, which is one that I created and developed a few weeks ago, and which is my version of the Sticht hitch; a hitch that can function as part of an SRS/SRT climbing system without the need for a rope wrench!
Here are two videos that I made which show how to tie this unique, interesting, and effective friction hitch...

Thats cool, man

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! I've watched a few of your videos! Thanks for stopping by!

@TreeguyRyan 3 месяца назад

Good job! Nice editing. I dig the backup plan with the second rope! Where's the neck tether you mentioned?

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I'm happy that you enjoyed the video! Any time I test a new hitch, I always have a backup! I've never actually had to use it yet, but you just never know and it would suck hardcore to get stuck high up in the air, not to mention how embarrassing it would be! Haha! I didn't need the neck tether for this climb because I wasn't rope walking. I was manually ascending the hitch with my hand using the "sit and stand" climbing method with my foot ascender. Thanks for commenting!

It'd be really helpful if you showed how it was tied, step-by-step.

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Always be sure to check my videos! Already made a video showing how to tie this hitch! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZfRu2oYBSSY.html i said at the end of the video that there is a link in the description showing how to tie it!

All that aside, very nice. Thanks and keep it up. Test more of your hitches.

@Knot-orious 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I appreciate it! I will definitely be testing more of my hitches! =-D

Great video , very useful hitch You look good 👍👍

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! It definitely is a useful friction hitch! I'm a bit overweight, but I could look a lot worse! haha

@juanmazapan9044 3 месяца назад

I'm gonna test it can you tell size of ring and length of prusik rope,thanks

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

The ring is 34mm INTERNAL DIAMETER (ID) and made by DMM. Both the 8mm white Teufelberger HRC hitch cord and the yellow speckled 9mm Sterling RIT Response hitch cord are 5 feet long (60cm). Thanks for testing one of my hitches! Please report back with your findings if you are able! I would appreciate it!

@metzgerbass 3 месяца назад

Looks fun! I wanna try

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Definitely give it a try! Let me know if you have any experiences with it! I used a 34mm ID (Internal Diameter) ring and 5 feet of Sterling RIT 9mm hitch cord in this video!

@metzgerbass 3 месяца назад

@@Knot-orious nice I have a couple of that same ring just gotta get the hitch cord. If it works smooth for SRT in the tree I'll definitely make a video

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

@metzgerbass well, you can use anywhere from 8-10mm hitch cord depending upon the diameter of your rope, but five feet is about right!

@metzgerbass 3 месяца назад

@@Knot-orious heck yeah ordering some right now lol. I have several removals coming up, can't wait to try it. BTW fully laughed at some of the recent negative comments you've been getting. That's a good sign that you're doing something interesting and creative. A hitch that has the potential to be SRT functional with no rope wrench would be a game changer for a lot of people, especially in cost. I dig the sheet bend and girth finish/attachment too, looks practical

@Knot-orious 3 месяца назад

Awesome, my friend! I assume you've likely seen the tying instructional video for this hitch, right? If not, here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZfRu2oYBSSY.html. I do like the Sheet bend setup, but I still prefer good old fashioned Poacher's knots at the end of both legs to make it more like an eye to eye. More secure than a Sheet bend, which can potentially come undone if you Cyclically load it. A Hunter's bend is probably more secure if you want to use a loop, or a Double Dragon Bend (which is a Double Sheet bend that has the tail from the bight get tucked away securely). Yes, I have been getting quite a few negative comments lately haha Some people don't like to see other people succeed is what I believe it comes down to; either that or it's just pure ignorance. A hitch without a wrench/tether is definitely a game changer for the exact reason you just brought up: it's way more cost effective. Definitely reply to either the video in the shared link or in the video you commented on when you have had some experiences with the Synergy hitch and report back with your findings if you have time/remember to do so! I would greatly appreciate it! Let me know if I can help you with anything! 9-10mm is a really good diameter for this hitch for when I was climbing on my 11.8mm Drenaline and my other 11mm ropes. In general, if you're over 200lbs like I am, it's ideal to use a 9-10mm cord. I hope this info didn't come too late. This is because the larger cordage will spread a climber's weight out more evenly across a larger amount of surface area contacting the rope.

Now that.... ma man... should shut some of the others up. I mean trolls. Banging your head going up or down is never pleasant. I know from experience. And let the video set the record straight for the critics. In other words " you do it ". By that I mean put up or shut up. Instead of farting out nauseous criticques....

@Knot-orious 4 месяца назад

Thanks, JJ! Really happy that you liked the video! This is only my second video EVER where I show myself testing one of my hitches! Since creating this channel 1.25 years ago, I've received a TON of requests from viewers asking for me to show some of my hitches in action during a climb! So, when I decided to go out and test it again today during some free time, I thought I would film a few ups and downs on a rope for my viewers. Not sure why it's taken so long for me to start doing this kind of video, but now I will start to do this much more regularly. Honestly, it's a pretty easy way for me to make some quick and easy content, so it's a win-win. Also, trolls suck. I had some weirdo comment yesterday on one of my older videos and he told me that if I'm still learning how to tree climb, then I shouldn't be making videos about climbing methods, or anything for that matter, and he said I was being "reckless" and "criminally negligent." I pointed out the very obvious and simple fact that, even the most qualified experts who demonstrate and teach tree climbing for a living NEVER stop learning and that, by this guy's logic, they are ALSO reckless and criminally negligent. What a loser haha He didn't respond. Once I hit them with a metric ton of logic, or make them look stupid, they always run away, never to be seen again.
