I really want to figure out how to join the rope ends and be able to tension it super tight. I have the rope tied as a perimeter rope around three trees i want to bring the ends together to be able to close the loop but want to be able to pull for either both directions or one direction to tension the loop as tight as I can but I don't know the proper technique. Please help!
I once worked with a similar system. Due to less friction during tensioning, I tied a strong carabiner (using a scaffold knot) to one end of the rope. I threaded the other end through the carabiner and tied a PRUSIK knot (3 wraps) around the same end. As I tightened the rope through the carabiner, I moved the Prusik, and it acted as a brake to create tension. Depending on what you're using it for, caution is necessary because the PRUSIK holds all the tension and should be additionally secured. OF COURSE, there are also advanced systems; search for "mechanical advantage systems."
It's a prusik. And that knot serves various purposes. In this case, it's part of a system that's entirely different from its use in a handcuff version.
So, obviously, this is not a new invention for you. But since there is no literature or video or visual tutorial of this system (my research), as far as I'm concerned, it's a new invention.
This video is worthy of 1000 likes from each who watched it !!! This is genius! In my opinion, this is the best knot in the history of knots !!!
Love it. So clear and easy to follow. I'm definitely going to be practicing this knot!
Have fun!
So many better, stronger, faster ways to achieve the objective.
Elaborate
Brilliant! Really well visually explained.
Many thanks!
wonder whether it has mechanical advantage?
This is amazing. I can think of so many times that I could have used this knot👍👋🙏🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Much easier to start with a “finger prussik” in the beginning. Great tip regardless.
Pretty cool!
I will definitely have to try this!
Ingenious.
The Prussian cow lol
No está mal. Cambiaría algunas cosas pero es una buena idea.
Lo guardo en mi colección de nudos.
Excelente
Thanks

Double dolly or use an axel hitch to join three points and then tighten with a truckers hitch
its actually called a boatswains handcuff knot

nifty
Isn’t that a cats paw?
bravissimo
New invention to who? i"ve been using this for over 25 years

@@CreationsByS You did not invent the wheel stop acting like you did!
What is the advantage to a cow hitch, originally this was called the "backpackers hitch"
The same rig for tying bed rolls etc. Not exactly revolutionary is it lol
