Let me sleep on that question. I'll get back to you in the next day or so with my personal recommendations for friction hitches to try with your rope wrench! As well as links for each one's tying method, and any other relevant content worth watching about each one. Thanks again for publicly...

@Kaveman Ouch. Want some aloe for that burn? Maybe some Bengay?

You just made my day; and you just made me smile. Thanks, I really needed to be uplifted today. Been going through a lot. I appreciate your appreciation for me and my work. Much love your way, @Naturarbo!

For those who may be wondering what the Machard Tresse friction hitch that this author spoke of, introduced by Francois Dussenne at the ITCC competition in Halifax in 1994; that would be the "VT" aka Valdotain Tresse, which is effectively a Valdotain (a completely different friction hitch; and...

I received a DM from @Brocky yesterday, which said the following… "Your post #53 about Jason Blake coming up with the same hitch is contradicted by Chris’ post #39. Dan Lehman theorized that Blake hadn’t also originated the hitch and came up with the ProhGrip name." @Brocky has pointed out the...

Thanks for verifying my claims, @Brocky, and for adding some new information! I always wondered who coined the name "ProhGrip." Below is a copy of the actual article that Heinz Prohaska wrote in the Nylon Highway caving journal (issue No. 30). If you take a look at the knot shown in the diagram...

Thank you! I'm glad that you appreciate the work that I'm doing on my YouTube channel! I've never once read more than a few chapters of the Holy Bible, but I've read the entire Ashley Book of Knots twice and reference selections of its chapters even more frequently than that! I regularly have...

Ha! Clearly you haven't seen my YouTube channel. I've created, designed, developed and tested over 85+ new friction hitches at this point. I have at least 1-2 videos discussing and demonstrating how to tie each friction that anyone can watch and learn from, and then use themselves! I've also...

The first known presentation of the Blake's hitch was made by Heinz Prohaska in an Austrian guides periodical in 1981; in 1990, he presented it in a caving journal, Nylon Highway. Hence, back then it was called the "Prohaska hitch" which was shortened to "ProhGrip." Separately, Jason Blake...

The other original names for the Blake's hitch are the "ProhGrip" or "Prohaska hitch." The video shows how to tie the Arbsession hitch. However, the point @Brocky is making (I believe), and based off of making a quick examination of the tying methods for each hitch myself a few moments ago, the...

Friction hitches (with or without a wrench, for either SRS or MRS) are currently still superior in control relative to mechanical devices. I'm 35, so your beliefs still resound as true to this day. Before someone disagrees with me, please understand that I'm expressing my personal opinion. This...
