The Knut friction hitch is a reliable friction hitch that grabs well and is relatively easy to tie when you follow along with our step by step instructions.
The Knut can be used in all sorts of tree climbing systems from SRT to DRT and can also be used in combination with a tending pulley. The Knut doesn't have a lot of creep but the Knut friction hitch might be a bit hard to break loose when being loaded for a while.

It would be helpful to see once the knot is tied to the line how you move the knot up the line otherwise nice clear examples on tying the knot :)

Thanks, just push it up :) it highly depends on the climbing system you are using and also on the application. You need some method to take the load off the knot to advance it. Either by standing on branches, using a foot ascender, hip thrust, etc. That topic is just to big to put in one video.

Thank you we are always glad to hear someone finds it useful. Did you also try out the Distel hitch? That is my personal favourite. Easy to tie and grips and releases very good on static line.

Why use this instead of a prussik?

@WoodenShoesHomestead Жыл бұрын

The prusik hitch is very safe and easy to tie, but for tree climbing purposes it is a hitch that is very slow to work with. The more advanced hitches like the Knut hitch or VT hitch are much faster and also have less tendency to get stuck. Especially when using it in combination with more advanced climbing systems like a rope wrench.

@@WoodenShoesHomestead It would be interesting to talk about the pros and cons of this hitch in your video, instead of just showing how to tie it...

The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the tying of this knot. Pros and cons is not the subject of this video.
