Tying a Prusik Quickly and Efficiently

- There are many ways to tie a prusik, but this is the fastest way we have seen to consistently tie, set, and dress a prusik hitch. Hopefully this is a useful video that can reduce the amount of time it takes to tie a prusik hitch.
For a paper write up of this method and more free training resources, see our web page at:

Nice video but have to say the length of tails on the Double Fisherman's bend have me a little nervous.
Thanks for the comment, Colin. Of the hundreds of tests we've done with Prusiks (sarrr.weebly.com/sar3-original-research/-is-there-a-right-way-to-tie-a-prusik, sarrr.weebly.com/sar3-original-research/empirical-breaking-strength-of-single-prusiks-of-four-diameters-on-11mm-static-rope, sarrr.weebly.com/sar3-original-research/-response-of-some-31-haul-systems-to-excessive-loading), none of the tails have ever slipped once the Prusik is set. This Prusik was in use for 10 years without slippage. Do you know of other Prusik studies that show something different?
My question is what is safer, a Prusik with tails or a Prusik with no tails?
Doing something hundreds of times without failure doesnt seem like it should be grounds for it to suddenly become best practice.
