The prusik and the asymmetrical prusik or schwabisch are just so simple and effective is there any reason other than variety to use anything else?
In list form what i use:You got in above me while I was typing. I have learned numerous hitches but going back to KISS let me rephrase the question. Are two friction hitches enough to saddle hunt and if so what are they.
Yep. So what i really mean is if you have some time.... try each one and all other friction hitches to really determine what works best for you! If prusik is what you choose AFTER trying new ones then more power to you! Happy climbing and hunting!Again, keeping this in track. I'm just talking about friction hitches not tree attachments.
So for you the answer is yes? The jrb ascender and the mich?
I have tried them and they all seem to do the same thing, provide friction. I've tried to see if one is more aggressive or one releases better but I keep getting back to prusik for bombproof lock with a loop and schwabisch for double ended.Yep. So what i really mean is if you have some time.... try each one and all other friction hitches to really determine what works best for you! If prusik is what you choose AFTER trying new ones then more power to you! Happy climbing and hunting!
But you can easily tend a distel or schwabischYes, you can't even use a tender with a prusik that has been weighted much less no tender one handed operation like a JRB ascender hitch in its multiple configurations.
I admit it takes time to practice and memorize a more complex hitch to tie but the payoff is a hitch that acts like a ropeman 1 without the metal clank and inherent danger of stripping your ropes sheath!
No there is no reason to change from those two hitches.The prusik and the asymmetrical prusik or schwabisch are just so simple and effective is there any reason other than variety to use anything else?
Whats stands out about the Knut from the Michoacan other than the way they are tied? Might give it a try since it’s so similar to the mich.
