@@jrbtc Greetings. When tying a clove hitch around an object like a rail or a branch, a person must keep the ends of the cord basically parallel while tugging on each end, in order to produce a clove hitch, in a sort of garroting motion. Failure to have the plane of this action at or above the bottom of the rail would result in the slack never cinching upon it's self, thus forming a hitch. Instead, you get loose slack. Is there a name or term for this principle? Be well.
@@michaeltape8282 Firsr, I believe your question is not specific to this video as there is no clove hitch in this video. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any special language for what you're describing. I would say something like this: "tension the strands firmly in opposite directions, pulling away from the host object, until all slack is removed and the clove is firmly cinched on the host"
@@michaeltape8282 I refer to the clove as more of a knot, not a hitch. I'm a bowhunter & a 🌳 climbing cutter. When rigging a branch to lower down I use a daisy chain hitch. Very stable & very easy to untie when the branch is on the ground. 2 things that the clove isn't.
I was trying to figure another way then a girth hitch to tie a prusik loop to a ring for an adjustable friction saver. Tinkering about it i cam with the idea of a sliding prusik loop. I forgot you made a video about it and found it looking for information on the safety of this variation, should always check your play list first Thanks for all the time you put in to share information !
Brilliant instructions. Knots can be tough to follow and you do a fantastic job.
Thanks, much appreciated. Just trying to share what i learned and figured out.

@@jrbtc Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I didn't know if there might be a term for that for some crucial application. Thanks again.

Be aware a prusik will grip and hold in both directions. The Sliding Fisherman's only squeezes ... it doesn't actually hold a load.
@@jrbtc yes I understand and I'm aware, thanks!
