This is my favorite hitch. It tends effortlessly and has never ran on me. I have the most confidence in this hitch when weighted. I really do like the distal but it doesn’t tend as well in my opinion. I have had issues with the VT becoming too tight requiring adjustment while aloft. The michocan tends well but have had issues with it running when weighed. Great videos Bino👍.
Most excellent comment on trying to keep your hand above the knot .. a few years ago I was wearing the rubber type gloves, small piece got stuck underneath my knot , I went for a 30 foot flying ride. Swung around and hit the tree. Bruised up my leg pretty bad , I was lucky ! Thanks for a reminder to always keep your hands above the knot and don’t grab the whole night if you’re wearing gloves. I was in a hurry too. Smooth moving is good.
I no longer climb, too old, too weak but Im teaching my 3 grandsons how to climb in a 30' crotch of a euc in my front yard. We always used a Blakes hitch or lately a distle. One day the yougest got to the top where my 13mm rope passes thru a frictiob saver (srt) and lo and behold his hitch locked up and he was stuck. With full body weight on the hitch he started to panic, fortunately I had left plenty of lineon the tree anchor end so quickly untied it and lowered him down. He was shocked and I learned a good lesson (always leave enough rope on the anchor end). Always enjoy your vids, good job, and oh yeah, I think we'll start using a knut hitch. Thanks and keep em comin.☺
hey Bino - you say the Knut was your favourite before you started using the Michoacan - so what is the advantage of the Michoacan over the Knut? Does anyone have any advice?
The Knut is also a great hitch. When I was using the Knut I was using a 30" cord it's easier to tie. I switch to the Michoacán using 24" cord and that was better for me because I have short arms so the legs are shorter.
In this video, I have the Buckingham 5.0. Now I have a Buckingham Navigator. Here are videos on the saddles. ua-cam.com/video/IfAZgxdDjSg/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/cg1OL_ve7O8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Oxc1mUoI97M/v-deo.html
I show more wraps with a longer cord because even with the MRS system sometimes it can react differently. When I use SRS with the Rope Wrench I use a 24" cord with a 4 wrap hitch.
Interesting, it looks like a good hitch, but it is very different from the Knut Hitch that Educated Climber demonstrates on his channel. I wonder how two different hitches get the same name?
How is it that I can feel every extra pound that you carry in these videos. I hope you did all the things you wanted to do in life as an “in shape” bigger dude because after reading this comment you will start becoming skinny like me. It will be an “in shape” kind of slim. You will get there the most healthy and efficient way available. People will ask you what your secret is.
Thank you, I really do not plan the length of my videos. I work on a topic and however long it takes to give that information is how long the video will be.
Ooohh it's pronounced "Ku-nut" not silent k as in "nut". Before I heard the pronunciation I thought the intro was a bit unflattering. It looked like a movie intro with the title coming up over you. I thought to myself, that's not nice. Bino's a nice guy not a nut. 😟☺️😀

Nice, thank you for sharing! Take care!

I hate when those kind of moments happen. Thank you and stay safe!

Nice you're showing the younger generation. Thank for sharing and I will do my best. Take care!
Nice video, next time I’m out in a tree I’m going to try. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Thanks bro will test this know out this weekend 👍
Have fun. Take care!
Will a grigri work the same? Thanks
Ascend with the knut above head hight and you need to tend the the tail then to descend move it down to descend buddy 😉
I like that saying take it low and slow.
Thank you!

@BinoH that makes sense..I shall experiment..and thank you for finding the time to reply

More wraps on first than second... Seems more like an srt knot than drt?

They are the same hitch. When he ties it and finishes his back side is my front side. When he rotates it, it is the same hitch.
@@BinoH Thanks, I will have to look at them again.
@@turnstyles7485 Take care!

Love your videos Bino but I don't feel like they all have to be 11 minutes long!

I think it is a Danish word. Thank you!
