I’ve made a few over the years, called them Cinch Samaritans, just one is midline attachable.

What splicing directions did you use, the core bury looks longer than needed? The core bury can be made easier by reducing it by half for a couple of inches more than the bury length.

I’m of the opinion now that as long as you know what they mean when using the term, no need to correct everybody. At one point people were correcting others grammar, or spelling on forums. For some reason loops are popular with saddle hunters, it might not be clear if someone simply stated...

I use double fishermen’s on my prussics, while climbing DRT!

The hitches below, called knots by Storrick, got the Prohaska name. ProhGrip was coined by Dan Lehman.

You are correct, the Knut H shown is for use with the HHs, the hitch can be used alone, but I trap the right eye under the bottom section of rope, could also go under just the next section up, or both of the bottom sections.

The correct name for the hitch shown in the HHFX instructions is the Knut H. The Catalan was shown to be the same as the Arbsession Hitch, which came out many years before, and for some reason the Catalan name was transferred to the Knut H by Mumford.

I used the Penberthy method below, but the knot book I got it from didn’t specify if it was a single or double eye hitch. I choose two eyes, worked fairly well, but the pseudo-Bowline would tighten up causing it to start to slip. Neat idea to make it a loop!

Very nice, except for the friction hitch suggestion. A true Michoacán has the legs coming out the sides, and they shift to the back when tied on the dog bone. This pulls the dogbone more straight up, instead of into the rope, with the carabiner making more of the friction.

It’s RBG, a jab at JRB. Not my initials, after the notorious Ruth Bader Ginsberg!

I reduce and taper the core tail before burying, and only half way, then make a few short buries, dropping a strand each time.

Battery saw using canola instead of oil?

Another method for sealing the ends of non melting ropes and cords.

I think the top wrap being able to create enough friction to get the rest of the wraps to stretch and separate, and in turn start to squeeze the rope, is comparable to the top bollard on mechanicals. That article is a couple years old with no new additions, guess no new friction hitches have...

I think milking a double braid weakens it to some extent. The cover and core are designed to work together until their break strength, they both stretch the same amount, to theoretically break at the same time. If you take some of the stretch out of the cover by milking, it will break before...

The adjustability and self tending would give a complete picture of the hitch. Nice job!!!

It came about eventually when exploring a way to not have preformed eyes, something similar to the Hitch Hiker attachment method. The cord ends were threaded through the holes then an overhand is tied, middle, left in the picture. After a few versions it occurrred to me just a stopper knot in...

It’s spelled Ysatsce for both the single and double eye versions. Playing with making the eye, it morphed into a loop hitch by bringing the ends together for a stopper. Placing the knot at the top unclutters the carabiner.

I didn’t make it clear I was referring to the Esctasy, which I found was the inverse of the double eye hitch that came about from exploring what could be made by starting with a half hitch around the rope for a single eye hitch. I haven’t looked at the single eye hitch you referenced yet...
