Adjustable Loop Prusik: How I adapted the Prusik Loop to be an adjustable fixed loop knot.

- This is a knot that I came up with about 20 years ago. To my knowledge, it is a knot that has never been published before. It uses the concept of the Prusik Loop and adapts it to be used as an adjustable loop knot on the end of a rope. I have found it to be an extremely effective adjustable loop knot. I call it the Adjustable Loop Prusik.
TX Tool Crib Book of Knots #1...
Keep up your excellent work!
I’m not sure how that book would sell with only one knot. Lol
Very nice! It doubles the surface area of a tautline. Super strong.
Glad you like it.
First time I've seen this and I love it, just tried it out with my body weight and some wiggle and no slips. Impressive! I'll be using it to tension lines that need to be loosened periodically.
I think it is far and away the best adjustable fixed loop knot I have ever used.
Thanks for this I used it many times since. I just recently learned of making an adjustable loop with a Blake’s hitch, which is much simpler but maybe not as secure.
I use this, or a variation of it. I was thinking about how to make an 'open loop Prusik' so I don't have to mess with too much tech on ridgeline and came up with something that looks like that. I also saw something similar on some UA-cam shorts video that was pretty random. Don't know what to call it. I looked at what an actual Prusik looks like and took an open line to form that knot then finished it with a simple hitch. I was stoked when I realized it works the same :)
this one will come into my most useful knots collection. Thx!
This is very similar to a Farramond Friction Hitch. I think you would find it great for applications where you want to deconstruct the knot after its been loaded.
SimpleJack I came up with this one before I learned the Farrimond Friction Hitch. That is a really excellent quick release knot. I need to just test all of the adjustable loop knots to see which one actually holds the best. Of course sometimes you just need a quick release like the Farrimond.
Thanks for the education. I really like this knot, and you explained and demonstrated it very well.
I use a Blake’s hitch for that. It has normally four windings but if the rope is thin i increase to 6 in total. It is used in climbing, more popular among arborists.
I’ve seen this knot in use by some stage hand guys but no name was given to it. Definitely an advanced way to tie the prusick. I use it with fixed loops only.
And here I thought I was special. Thanks for the blow to my ego. Lol.
TX Tool Crib anytime. Love the videos
exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Check out the Farrimond friction hitch. Very easy and very strong
I have it listed in another video.
Excellent!! I'm gonna adopt this one!! 😃👍👍
Thank you sir.
I'd really like to see how your application of saftey harness with this was used
I used this knot to secure off a 3/4" safety line. I was tied off to the other end of the line with a bowline. Allowed me to position myself on a grain bin roof to replace damaged roof panels.
@@txtoolcrib that sounds awesome, thank you so much
that's basically a taut line hitch with some extra wraps...3 wraps instead of 2 in the first part, 3 wraps instead of 1 in the second part (basically a triple half hitch instead of a regular half hitch), then another half hitch to finish it off...i'm not criticizing you, it's just easy to remember as a modified taut line hitch
That’s a good way to remember it.
More like a magnus hitch just an extra turn at the end with a safety. Pretty cool this variation you've made here
Hi Ben. All good?🤜🤛 Take care.
Todo bien amigo. Usted?
ive been looking for a knot just like this... i'm trying to create a clothing rack that is mounted into the ceiling. rope being wrapped around both ends of the rod/stick. i want the ropes to be able to hold yet be adjustable so i can use it to lower and higher the rack (the rack would be adjusted low when i need something, and raised back up and out of the way, freeing space.
now i know absolutely nothing about knots, never even tied them apart from sewing thread. took me a while to come across something that can hold a lot of weight and be secure, while being able to adjust it. but i heard you say something about when you release, you can adjust the rope again. so that means it's only adjustable when it hold no weight? because if that's the case then this isn't the knot for me :( because i won't be able to remove a rack carrying lots of clothing in order to adjust the rope.
am i understanding this and am correct? or is there another way i can achieve what i'm thinking of?
thank you :)
That would be true under heavy loads, but I believe you would still be able to adjust the length with the moderate weight you are describing.
This just a triple taught line hitch.
It does look like a prusik even more than the taut line itself though
