The arbor pod video demonstrates how to tie this correctly. Worth a watch.

Hi Peter - We're confident in the way the knot is tied in this video. Do you tie on a port-a-wrap a different way?

@@TreeStuffdotcom The cow hitch itself is great and exactly how anyone should tie it. As another viewer stated, the direction of the half hitch isn't ideal. There are two ways the half hitch could be made. One is referred to as "The better half". I feel we should all be teaching and implementing the best possible work practices. Maybe I was too harsh and should have said that there is a preferred way to completing this knot instead of saying it is just wrong. Thanks for replying.

That cow hitch you just tied with the two half hitches will tighten up and will not be able to untie if you shock load the system

The half hitch is supposed to be formed against the bight in the cow hitch. It is shown going with the bight here.

Is this a bad example to learn?

What kind of rope is the yellow/orange anchor? What size? Can you just tie off with an anchor hitch to start or do you need to get a dead eye sling?

Thursday, I installed a block on a big Cottonwood to use it as a redirect for pulling over a large American Elm. The eye sling wasn't big enough for a cow, so I was only left with a timber. I could get probably just five wraps, but they would be tight, and I wasn't comfortable with that, especially since its such a deep furrowed tree. I was worries there wouldnt be enough friction. So I instead made a small bowline and ran the eye through it. It worked fine, but from a manufacturer standpoint (or ANSI, if they have a say?) is there any problem with that?

I think a bowline is a much better choice than a not-so-secure timber hitch. Im not sure what if any regulation there is on not choice. I am not aware of any at all. -nick

Now you're doing the timber hitch that is the proper way to connect a porter rap to Anythink because that not will not tighten up the cow hitch will tighten to the point you cannot get it untied

Instead ull get dumbass supervisors or ppl that dont wanna teach you and be patient .remember some ppl learn faster by making them do it there self. Make the mistake and show them until they get it rite and encourage them not yell at them .supervisor training 101.speaking because I've come across this as I became novice to pro.

Unfortantely there are a lot of people that just lack the patience and are not willing to teach. Ive ran into many people like this. It sucks.
