The Maverick Hitch can be used as a retrievable canopy anchor or any other application where a strong, secure, cinching hitch is needed, and which is easy to release (jam resistant) even after significant loading. The Maverick can be used in place of a Running Bowline or equivalent Running loop, but offers the advantage of quick release, and ability to lock to prevent unintentional release. This video demonstrates (in greater detail) how to tie the hitch and how to engage the use of a pole for rope setting. See: • Building a DIY Pole fo...

My favorite of all of your hitches. I plan to use this in nearly every climbing situation I'm faced with. Thanks for all you do!

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

Appreciate that. My pleasure. This one is fun.

@msetnicka 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much for sharing this brilliant knot. It’s very simple to tie and inspect. I have just climbed on it, and really liked how easy it was to form it and to use it. Much appreciated!

@jrbtc 3 месяца назад

Excellent. I am also finding new applications for it regularly. Make sure you watch the "Houdini" rigging option as well as the ability to set it with a pole.

Im adding this and some of your other tree climbing methods to my ninja skills for this season! Last year was my first year in a saddle bow hunting and i was always a bait sketched out climbing and descending the trees with just a lineman’s rope. This year I’m planning to enter the woods with way more diverse skills for getting up to hunting height in a trees all based around climbing while tethered and the ability to repel out of the tree at any time. I feel way more confident climbing a tree while my saddle is securely under load from a tether.

@williamgorman6064 excellent. Here's a prediction I have, and it's not something I have had a chance to weave into any of my videos. As you gain knowledge and make these safety changes, you are going to become more CONFIDENT, and as that happens, you will ENJOY the climbing and the hunting more. There's going to be no such thing as an unsuccessful hunt... you are going to look forward to just getting out there. Schedule permitting, you'll hunt more, and over time, that leads to greater success in filling our tags. I fill a lot of tags... and you've never heard me brag about it. Simply because it's all a 2nd priority to our safety. Anyone who is taking chances it doesn't have their priorities straight... they simply need to ask the rest of the folks at the Thanksgiving dinner table if that's a good idea. We are chipping away in the right direction. When you get yourself safe, then go grab your closest friends and knock some sense into them. Cheers

Thank you for this second edition of this hitch, with the added emphasis on the pole location. It is also my new favorite. I have been practicing one-stepping with this hitch. In your opinion, is it acceptable to rappel on this hitch without the release loop placed in the "up and over" position? This, of course, minimizes the pull force required to release the hitch while on the ground. I would still incorporate the final "up and over", and locked, position while ascending or hunting on the hitch. Thanks again! I love this hitch. (BTW, I like the JRB Cinch as well, but this one.....well,...... you reserve the right to make things better....) Good day sir.

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

I can't recommend using it for an unlocked rappel without it being tied as prescribed. The loop adds a significant amount of jamming when loaded. Also note that the weight of the rope increases the higher we are. And so even if a saddle hunter at 20ft felt it was ok, that wouldn't necessarily be the case for a mountain climber at 150ft. The rope itself adds non trivial loading.

@jeremyknauer3386 17 дней назад

For hitch climbing how would you attach a retrieval/gear hoist to the release line to recover or explode the hitch? I also would like to say that this will be my first year saddle hunting and I will be using a lot of your methods to climb as safely as I can. I have learned a wealth of knowledge from watching your videos and I would like to say thank you.

@jrbtc 17 дней назад

@jeremyknauer3386 all of my ropes have a JRB End Loop on the ends. And so in order to attach a rigging or retrieval line ( which also has a small loop on the end), I just connect a miniature Carabiner or clip. But if ya don't have an End loop, there are some options for tying a rope to a small cord here on this page along with the information for the end Loop. Please let me know if that answers your question. jrbtreeclimbing.com/content/throwball-rope-rigging/

@jeremyknauer3386 17 дней назад

@@jrbtc that answers my question perfectly. And thank you for the speedy response. I will probably add end loops to my rappel rope to make things quicker and easier.

@jeremyknauer3386 12 дней назад

@@jrbtc I tied end loops on both ends of my rappel line by following your end loop tutorial. They work great! I love using the maverick hitch as an anchor. I put it to the test this weekend.

@Sullivanblake_ 25 дней назад

John, would this work for remote retrieval? I.e 4mm dyneema tied to the tag end to explode it from the ground after rappel? If so could we get a demo? Cheers brother 👊🏻

@jrbtc 25 дней назад

@Sullivanblake_ I have done a lot of climbing demonstions where the Maverick is used and released that way. Here's one released yesterday. The rappel and retrieval is near the end. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9OzmDN-s7fc.htmlsi=gxSPiepotq2g_Xzt

@frankresch3734 2 месяца назад

can you use the pole to advance it up with the carabiner when it is locked?

@jrbtc 24 дня назад

I'm sorry I missed this comment, but the answer is yes

@carlwydrzynski3578 11 месяцев назад

I was able to try the new hitch today. It doesn't seem to work as well with a very stiff rope.

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

Are you having trouble tying it? Running it up? Exploding it? Or Running it back? Running it back after load requires a good deal of effort but is possible. But exploding it works well for me on all ropes I have experimented with including stiff ropes.

@carlwydrzynski3578 11 месяцев назад

Alittle trouble but I just pulled harder and it popped out. It's much easier to tie.

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

@@carlwydrzynski3578 ok, yes, it's a reasonable expectation that a stiffer rope will be a bit more effort to pull the release loop through, simply because the loop will require more force to flatten and pop through. Cheers

@robdixon2259 11 месяцев назад

Does it easily release under load? Would you rappel off of it with out it being locked?

@jrbtc 11 месяцев назад

It jams under load. I am not saying its impossible to release under load, but it would take a diversion of a large percentage of our body weight. Watch the end of the Introducing the Maverick Hitch video where I demonstrate this. Yes, I do unlock it before rappel and use a release line which is a different color so no chance of mixing up the lines.
