Thank you for demonstration of the auto locking version with a prusik! On multi-day trips the rope inevitably gets infected with dirt and tree resin and a task of releasing the bite loop while dismantling the ridge line could become quite laborious . Prusik loop solves this issue perfectly. Also, your algorithm of autolock allows to tie the hitch easily regardless of how long's the rope - without extra step of pulling the whole working end through the bite loop. In the filed it helps to keep the rope in better conditions. Thanks again!
Could become the standard by which we measure the tightness of ridgelines. Terrific video and surprised there aren't more likes but I think they will come. By the way what is your choice of fixed loop quick release and easy to tie knot?
Thanks.... yes this is an amazingly easy way to tie a ridgeline, clothesline, or whatever line you like using only rope... no toggles, no sticks, no nothing else needed. My favourite fixed loop knots are the QR Bowline >> ua-cam.com/users/shorts74shxBeJO70?feature=share and this one too >> ua-cam.com/users/shortsb01h787Cqxo?feature=share - both are easy to tie with practice and also are Quick Release which I absolutely love!
Thanks for the links, I don't know how I missed them. I've been playing around with the Kalmyk knot which is very quick release in that it simply falls apart when you pull the quick release but it's harder to tie consistently, the people that can do twist their hands and fingers at blinding speed that it's impossible to follow, Bowline is much easier. What's your favourite quick release knot that cinches down around a object, is it the packer's knot, or do you have another favourite?@@How2TieKnots
The Kalmyk knot is a great knot too and is a great alternative to the bowline - I haven't gotten around to filming that yet. I'll put it on my list of upcoming videos. The packer's knot is def a fav for me for cinching tight around objects by pulling outwards rather than pulling along around the object - its basically a modified Canadian Jam knot which is a Figure 8 structure but with a quick release which I love.
excellent video, useful examples, thanks comrade)

Packers knot is a figure 8 tied back on the ridge line with a bight on the tag end for quick release.
to avoid the stress and friction that wear the cord i recommend using a prusik loop that can be replaced

helluva better than tautline.....indeed !!
Thanks mate... this ridgeline works amazing! One of my favourites for this purpose.
