I'm excited about this development. I look forward to you climbing on this setup. I am requesting you to show from paracord preset to climbing in a tree for a hunting scenario.
Let me understand: what method are you requesting me to climb? And in a "hunting scenario" ... there's no camera operator when I am actually hunting. And if I put a camera on a tripod, it's kinda hard to follow. This one is a couple years old. I don't always use a platform. I actually look for trees that give me the opportunity not to use a platform. ua-cam.com/video/q3L483Igjj8/v-deo.htmlsi=lx2vCDWYBNnum2mM
This guy knows what's up! I'm new to the channel but I've been into hitch tying science for a while. I hunt, climb, arborist by trade and rescue operator. Have you tested these hitches? Just to get the general slip and break numbers?
@christianedwards1823 Testing friction hitch slipping points is a daunting task. There are sooo many variables: rope, cord, diameters, materials, wet/dry, number of wraps, and more. For a friction hitch we want to climb on and have great performance, we might tune it for performance instead of strength. Here's one test of one of my friction hitches: ua-cam.com/video/A7-V0Ww8YxU/v-deo.htmlsi=byHmHphRiIlSwm0y
@@jrbtc yessir I feel you there. The amount of variables is gnarly. It's always expensive to test a large array of potential scenarios too. Ill watch some more and hrt educated, thanks!
Can the longhorn agile be 1:1 dimensionally with the main rope ? I’m trying to take up slack ascending a set rope, and hoping it will break for coming down ?
Your question is hopefully answered here. Are you asking if the hitch can be tied with the same diameter as the rope? It's unlikely you will find a rope that bends tightly enough to make that possible. We generally want a cord that's about 70% of the diameter of the Rope. jrbtreeclimbing.com/content/longhorn-agile-hitch/

Very cool John! The hitch master strikes again!
The hitch is unchanged, of course. We are simply applying it differently.
Another stellar video!
Thanks!
