The timber hitch is fine especially if you add the half hitch. It uses less line. But the icicle hitch is more secure, that is less likely to loosen if the tow line slackens.
Exactly what I was searching for. Thank you! I saw this knot long time ago in a book. It was a little bit irritating that you tied it the second time mirror inverted. In the first version the standing part went over the pipe and in the second version the standing part went under the pipe.
Thanks for more great instruction. I have tied this knot on an icicle-shaped (hence the name) metal spar, hanging vertically. The knot held and I was most impressed!
Very nice video. For future hitch episodes, may I suggest that you clamp down your “spar” (out of frame) so that you don’t have to fiddle with holding it? I think it would make your presentation even better.
This knot is extensively used in the line trade (outdoor electrical transmission and distribution) but is commonly called the grape vine. I have never seen it used to pull a pole, as a derrick and chain are commonly available. It's typically used to hold and re-position conductor/wire/fiber to work with it and to get proper position and sweep.
I won't go into details, because it's work-related. I found this video while trying to improve a difficult, tiring and unsafe procedure at work. This is exactly what I needed to make my solution work, thankyou.
I learned this one from Geoffrey Budsworth's book tough and versitile knots. You approach it differently from him. I learned only the end of the pole procedure. I followed your instructions with a shoe lace on a philips head screw driver shaft and it came out splendidly. I think I will work on your method of tying to enhance my skill with how to tie this excellent hitch. It is almost magical. On the screw driver shaft I had to add a few more turns to get a sufficient grip.
I do recall that people have commented to say that this works well with fence posts. If you do manage to tie this onto and icicle and manage to swing off it, let me know? 😉 😉 😉
I suspect I was tying it incorrectly due to lack of practice over time. I found, with your method, I could actually get away with less turns and have a successful grip on the pole. Excellent!
I think one of the better things about your videos is that I finally get to see what they are used for. I've heard of icicle hitches but I didn't know what they are used for. Thanks again!
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Yes, so me knots do have strange names, sometimes because of the name they are overlooked.
Great. Didn't know about tying on the bight. This is a great hitch for pulling rope, slippery cables or pipes. I will lock on really slippery surfaces yet can be easily slid by hand. Thanks again.
it does not get any better than this....your video on the icicle know was very instructive....keep up the awesome work...so appreciated...bob in canada
That is really good to hear! I love net making, so you may be interested in this play list that I have dedicated to net making: ua-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html
Johnny, thanks for this video. I have thanked you before, but I keep coming back for refresher courses. I also liked in the abok for this knot but could not find it, but I did find a "rolling knot" in case you are interested - it serves a similar purpose.
I've read that the Icicle hitch can even work on a tapered circular object like a marlin spike, even with the tapered point toward the pulling direction. In practice, I found this is not so. It only works on a taper unless the surface of the part is grippy. It works fine otherwise even with nylon paracord. I think if you have a tapered pole that you need to grip, use the icicle hitch but pull opposite to the taper toward the fatter end.
I’m using much of what I’ve learnt from your videos for real world practical reasons but also just for fun. Every hitch is like a puzzle & I love puzzles.
I've been trying it by adding a half hitch, locking the standing end before the knot gets pulled all the way apart. It prevents the knot from going further but still tightens nicely. Interesting results
Yes, over time you do and up adding your own little touches. for additional security. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
One of the coolest knots. At first glance it looks like an organized knot. Then you put load on it and watch it spread out and suddenly it looks like something a 9 year old tied. Ive yet to really put it to the test...still waiting for the perfect icicle or stalactite to try this on😃
I’ve been using this knot to raise and lower 4” EMT in a vertical mechanical chase so that it could be installed in said chase. It’s only about 40lbs per 10’ length of pipe, but I can’t take a chance on it falling down the chase. This works great.
I always tie it the second way but I only really use it as a come along for tensioning the electrical wires down the side of my trailer on lorry when the come loose and securing it by using the loose end with a automatic truckers hitch.
Johnny, i am a boater, sailor and power, so I am a practical knotter. I also teach boating classes for the Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons. The Icicle Hitch is always an interesting knot to show students. I have yet to try to hang from a wooden fid using the hitch,, but I have challenged the strongest to try to pull it off a pole which has proven impossible.

Thanks, I need to pull a long, heavy and slippery pole out of a hole 😆basically a galvanised pipe in a borehole - would more turns help or not necessary?
Judging from the other comments this sadly probably wouldn't work on an actual icicle, but I imagine it would work fine on a stalactite. I just tried it on the tapered end of a drumstick (closest thing I have to an icicle) and it holds very well. Tied icicle hitch on one end, bowline on the other and pulled with my foot and arms and I was more worried about the rope snapping than the hitch failing. One of these days maybe I'll take a climbing harness and rope and tie this to a pole and see if it works haha
I guess also when you go to the bar and tell people that you used the icicle hitch in a desert zone. Rather a strange name for a knot. What will you be using it for?
Pulling Galvanized fence pipe out of the ground.....and Vigas poles out of the ground with a railroad jack (hi-Hitch) google vigas poles/images They're all over out here in the Sonoran Desert (North Phoenix suburb) and if i'm lucky enough to get one i will have an easier time getting it out as i have a tractor for labor.... the ground out here is like concrete .... I'm actually watching your eye splice video right now. What Country you in..... I like your accent.
It isn't really a strange name for a knot. I first learnt about it reading a book on knots with a picture of it attached to an icicle. The icicle however tapered to a point at the tip. I wonder if anyone such as a mountaineer has ever risked their life on it?
I really enjoy all your videos, especially because you use a larger rope ,which makes it easier to follow. What is the tool you use for pointing where the rope goes?Do you have a website? Thanks ever so much I save every video you do for quick reference.
It took a few times with the shaft that had no ends. It seems that there are two loops to go through after you have brought the working end around the shaft and under the standing end the second time and follow the standing end through so they come out together. This led to success on the screwdriver shaft if I added an extra turn (four).
I noticed you pulled it in the same direction both times. Can it be pulled equally as well in either direction or do you have to tie the knot the other way round?
Only once have I ever witnessed an icicle hitch executed in anger. A fellow had this 20-foot long 6-inch steel pipe with one end buried some six foot in the ground. Ordinarily, one would have just torched it off, and left a stub - but the pipe had originally been set to support a basketball hoop beside his driveway. And he really didn't want to be driving over a steel stump. So he tied an icicle hitch with 1-inch chain, hooked the chain onto his car's bumper jack, and jacked the whole thing out of the ground. The pole made a truly spectacular clang as it toppled on the cement driveway.
That is interesting that the chain did not slip on the pole. I don't think I will do a video on that, but you never know I personally may have to use it in anger one day??
Good, I play all videos at 2x!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
You should have made your wraps for both ways the same. By making your wraps two different ways, it makes it very confusing when it doesn't have to be.
I am still a learner, I am always trying to improve my videos. I do take on-board comments and try to whenever I can do a revised video update on certain knots. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
A practical knotter, whatever is the easiest way with the least amount of confusion when your in the field working. KIS (Keep it Simple), when your under pressure with people waiting on you, its easy to get confused if your doing the same knot two different ways. It's like learning to tie knots from both a left handed and right handed perspective, when you only need one. Other than that, good video, thanks.
FIRST Thank you ! Your Videos are very helpful. But for me your explanation seems slooooooowwwwwlllyyyy So much hat i forget what Knot we wanted to do. faster tying the Knot with a relative constant Speed Would help us to to See the hole thing . and then Before or after the Details and comments to the particular Knot ,in your brilliant familiar becoming way. Speed up One section of tying Knot will make your Videos Even more enjoyable Than they already are.
Not too convinced : It doesn not perform any better than a valdotain tress, a distel hitch, or any of the other friction knots (apparently). And contrary to those, you have to have access to the top of the pole to tie it : so there are less occasions where you can tie this one.
Oops sorry Johnny, I had only watched the first half! As by then, I had concluded that this was an inferior knot (compared to the others in this series of friction hitches) and that I did not need to investigate it further... My mistake! Yes, you may look up the knots we use for tree work, they perform really well. I trust my life on them at work. Hey did you look into the daisy chain hitch I told you about the last time we talked in the comments? If not, you really should, it replaced the running bowline for me, it only has advantages compared to it, a small revolution in the world of knots... Take care and thanks again for these great vids, this is one of my top 3 knotting channels, you teach so well!
Yes I did mate. I also give you a mention, but my issue was how to pronounce o00oZu1o00o ;-) I had to put a mention in the description instead. Thanks for your compliments - John
Wow that's cool! I'll look it up! Yes I love my xbox gamertag with all the funny bubbles around it LOL It's spelled "Zoo one" in english Keep the great vids coming Johnny!
Johnny, you did a demonstration of a transition knot that combined a crown knot and a wall knot. I can’t seem to find it. If you remember which video it’s in, could you drop it here or email me the link - innseanach@live.com. You’ve been answering a lot of questions I’ve had as I continue on my knitting journey. I really appreciate it!
Crown and Wall is the Footrope Knot: ua-cam.com/video/N3WWzo5AQ6s/v-deo.html&t or Wall and Crown is the Manrope: ua-cam.com/video/DbXjJz35EVA/v-deo.html is this what you were after?
Johnny Debt Ha! Well I guess that might answer it, but I remember you were showing transition knots that cover grafting or covering transitions, changing from one style to the next. You had some of your fancywork that you were showing examples of how to cover the transitions or add accent knots. Have you used the manrope knot for that?
In this playlist there are a number of projects: ua-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHeATS7HnM3DyoAyy2ivbkR6.html Certainly the Delux keyring transitions from one knot to another. Long Decorative knife lanyard and also the Knife or Whistle Lanyard also cover this. Looks like you have a long Christmas of knotting ahead ;-)
Perhaps you need to tie them better? ;-) I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Have used to pull a galvanized pipe out of the ground. Works good in cases where the pipe is not solid in the ground.

Best comment here. I was also wondering if this would work with chain.
After tying, cinch that baby nice and tight before doing a lengthwise pull and it will bite hard into the pole or shaft.
I think all knots need dressing properly like you say. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Do I need to freeze the rope first, so it won't melt the icicles ??
