@Dope on a Rope if you practiced tying hitches as often as you did changing your username maybe you’d start to learn somethin :tearsofjoy:
So I may have had a few too many beers one night while laughing my butt off reading some posts from the good old days… and somewhere I stole somebody’s joke about changing name to “scentlok saddlepants” - for the game changer who sewed his saddle to his pants - then regretted it in the morning but had to wait a month to change it again.

I’m kind of fond of scentlok saddle pants personally

Hey 0003, I can't figure out how to explain it very good but you need to tie the Soft Sticht part BEFORE the granny knot.
The granny knot has to come from the Soft loop...

^^^ I doubt that helps?

Have you had any issues with this one grabbing like the standard sticht hitch did to you when you first tried it?

I haven't tried the newest version yet.

That picture you just put up is new to me too.

I thought you were trying to tie the one on post #536. The one in post #549 is different...

I might have went too far back… I was looking at this one from two pages back but not enough angles…
