Tether Prussik Knot alternatives

[Mag1]

I think there are some other threads about some of the alternatives, but for some reason I cannot find them. I am looking for some alternative knots. I have tried the VT, Swabish, and have a Distal currently, but have not actually hung from it yet. Any other options Knot wise? I also use a tender so I can attempt to one hand the adjustments. one issue I have is if the rope gets damp/wet, it likes to get pretty tight and becomes hard to move.

my tether is predator, the prussik cord 8mm ocean.

just looking for other options to try.
thanks

Michocan (Blake's with eyes)it has become my go to hitch for just about everything. What ever hitch practice,tie, set and dress.

Michoacan and martin are same right? Also called gripping sailor’s hitch i think

The difference between Michocan and gripping sailors is the direction of the wraps.

Couldn't agree more, the blake's hitch is a solid knot!

I know also it is very popular to use with the Ropewrench- tends well and grips reliably if tied correctly- keep both legs the same length.
