Blake's Hitch Master Class
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Blake's Hitch is a popular friction hitch for rope climbing and tree climbing, particularly with arborists of recent decades, and of typical use in Moving Rope Systems (MRS). It was originally introduced by Heinz Prohaska in 1981 and independently discovered and reintroduced by Jason Blake in 1994. It replaced the Tautline Hitch as the preference of many arborists. JRB takes an in-depth look at Blake's Hitch, including variations: 4/2, 5/3, 5/2, and JRB's own Slipped Blakes Hitch variation. For JRB, the usefulness of Blake's Hitch in climbing is overshadowed by newer introductions, such as the Longhorn Agile Hitch which enables the climber to create non-mechanical Stationary Rope Systems (SRS) and avoid the penalty of friction in MRS. However, Blake's hitch has many novel applications outside of MRS climbing. Related Videos:

I started using the hitch in early 70s as an improvement to the taunt line hitch when I started tree trimming. I make it with a three over two hitch. I almost immediately started tying a second with the tail to make it self tending!
Cool. I am glad to know the history. I have a buddy who has never moved off the Tautline. You call it "3 over 2". In my circles, they call that a 5/2.
Thank you sir..,I have learned a lot❤️
Yes yes yes. Loved it. Every variants especially the very last one. The adjustable one on the carbs-bean.
Inside joke for my boys and I when we were out on assignments.
That one deserves its own video and I will get to it soon.
Look forward to it
I also like the fact that you gave credit where credit was due. And yes historically several people will come up with, either the same, or similar ideas or inventions. But ego monetarily based emotions always get in the way. Worse than kids in a sandbox.
As i introduced each my own knots, I knew there is a good chance that someone has published them before and so that's why I ask and volunteer to take down my videos and replace em with one that gives credit. So far, none were known to have been published though. I am trying. And it's not about ego. It's about growing.
Agreed,, totally
Aways exciting to see new JRB videos. I’ve used quite a few of your creations over the last year and intend to implement more this year as I practice in the off season.
Excellent. Appreciate your comment. I have a lot in the works!
I've used the blake's now for a simple bow sling. Took a piece of paracord and scaffold knot to one end of the riser and tied a blake's hitch onto the sling itself after feeding through the other end of the riser. Easy to adjust, light, out of the way, and just so dang simple. Looking forward to the mechanical implementations. I see a deer hoist in the making out of something like that final device you showed. Looking forward to it.
Your one step ahead brother. Cheers
JRB I think I see where this is going and I refer to your screen shot from the other day with the LAH DRST , with the double shove one handed. Brilliant idea .. can’t wait to see it . Stay safe and keep up the great work that you do.
Well, you may have thought of something i haven't lol! Actually, i do have some Blake's hitch applications and wanted to have a foundational video to refer. If I was better organized, i would have done this video before the Non-mechanical Adjustable Bridge video, which used the slipped Blake's. I self filmed that one in the woods which is tough to do. If you have an idea, feel free to send it along by any means you wish. You can leave a comment on the website if you prefer.

I will play around with my thoughts on that and let you know how it works out.., thanks for everything 👍👍
@@chrisc8474 excellent. We are one team.
Good evening sir I'm new to saddle hunting and im trying to find a safe to decend after hunting. I'm watching your videos and am probably missing something but I'm trying to find a safe way to decend using a knot, so I'll have the ability to stop and remove my steps on the way down. I will be climbing with a linemans belt and tether. Sorry if this is confusing
I prefer to climb a rope up and down a tree, which requires no tether and no Linemans and no sticks. But if you only want to rappel, here's how I do it. There's separate videos on the friction hitch. This video used the JRB Ascender 523. But lately, I prefer the Longhorn Agile hitch.

great vid thanks
I just started and found the blakes hitch to get real tight I'm about 260lbs
I don't recommend climbing on a Blakes hitch except in an emergency situation. There are many better performing hitches.
Well, you can give the credit to Heinz Prohaska as he is the originator of the knot during recorded history, but the knot probably predates recorded history as it is not extremely complex, l understand why you give him the credit though, as he is considered the source of the knot as we know it, however, you could elaborate some, maybe say "he is the first person in recorded history to discover/create this knot", not the first but the first as far as we can tell
Not trying to be a "Know-it-all" or anything but I wish there was a way to be sure that some Native American Indian, Egyptian, or other ancient culture didn't come up with this knot 1000-8000 yrs ago because I think credit should be given where it is due, "I can just imagine if it was my knot, my life's work, my masterpiece then I would be upset if I didn't get credit" but it's not a problem that you can fix, just one of those things, so Que Sera Sera
@donaldpulliam9153 I also wish there was a way to be sure. If you watch the videos where I have introduced my own original knots, the first thing I do is ask if anyone is aware of it. So far, that hasn't happened but surely it will at some point. jrbtreeclimbing.com/content/innovations/
also are some ropes better than others for a blakes hitch
Yes that is explained in the video. I demonstrated how to pinch the rope and determine if its bendable enough to allow it to wrap around itself. If you're climbing on a Blakes, build an open system with a dedicated split tail which is bendable.
