- The Longhorn Agile Friction Hitch was designed by JRB and has unparalleled performance. This demonstration shows how JRB uses the Longhorn Agile Hitch to create an adjustable bridge design for his primary/long bridge on his tree saddle. Related Videos:

Thanks John 🙂
You are welcome. This was fun. There's many possibilities for a bridge and I compared many combinations before settling on this combination.
Neat rope work! Learned a few new knots today.
Not sure the swivel carabiner is LS rated though.
Nice you clearly show how to tie also.
The Swivel Carabiner used in this video is the DMM Director and it's commonly used by arborists in these applications. I climb with 2 bridges, and connect each bridge independently to my climbing line.
Exceptional , may have to convert from web bridges to rope and cord
I’ve learned to tie both the Longhorn Agile Compact and the 523 Ascender.
I’ve installed a double adjustable bridge using 9.5 Ghillie rope with 7 mm cord.
I rappel with a Carabiner and a Munter hitch on 9.5 mm Rogue with a back up Longhorn Agile friction hitch.
I really like the easy one handed tending and the ease of breaking under load.
Currently I have the 523 on my adjustable bridges, and the Longhorn Agile on my lineman’s and my rappel rope.
You recently answered a similar question, by saying the Longhorn Agile can be used on all three applications, but I’ve seen you tie the 523 Ascender on the same application.
My question: which hitch is better for a saddle hunting scenario? This way I only have to master one friction hitch!
Comparing the JRB Ascender Hitch and the Longhorn Agile Hitch, LAH is larger, but it's easier to install and remove, and its overall performance is slightly better. Most of my Facebook group members prefer it. With this video, I have eliminated the JRBAH from my own system. I use only LAH and Blakes Hitch currently. By the way, 6mm Sterling TRC will work great with your 9.5 mm ropes and it will outlast other cords such as Sterling standard 7mm accessorycord.
Perfect
The LAH it will be.
I have the Tethrd ESS saddle. It has relatively small aluminum bridge rings which make for limited real estate to tie two bridges with the LAH. I think my final bridge set up is going to be a 9.5mm single adjustable with a LAH and a shorter second non adjustable bridge using the 7mm cord tied with the hunters bend. I really like how the carabiner attached at the crossing point of the two cords positions it nicely for a Munter rappel.
I’ll upgrade to the 6mm Sterling.
It’s very satisfying creating these hitches and using them in a hunting situation. I feel so much better (safer) on a friction hitch than I do relying on a Ropeman-1. Part of that is because I’ve become super confident relying on the basic Prusik that they began selling years ago as tree stands became more popular, and safety harnesses were included with your tree stand purchase.
When I think of the home made climbing tree stands we made as young adults, modeled after the Baker Tree Stand. The risk factor was a 10. It’s a wonder I’m still alive today.
It’s been a real joy watching your videos, learning to tie and implementing the various hitches and knots.
I appreciate you.
Thanks a million 🤘🏻.
By the way I’m about an hour south of the Ape Canyon Outfitters in Butler Pa, I think they’re having a grand opening soon!
@mattvogel5712 I can relate to your comment about some of the questionable contraptions we used in the past. Now, it's about time we got ourselves and our fellow hunters tied in and safe. As for your 2nd bridge, consider this:

Nice system. I know the poachers not as a constrictor knot. Good to see how you assemble everything on site.
A standard scaffold or poachers knot will get really tight and be difficult to remove. But with those two extra turns, I find that it is quite breakable and even removable should we need to do so.
I used 8mm resc tech with 6mm trc to replicate, but not climbed on it yet. The 6mm longhorn agile hitch seems to allow the bridge rope to move too easily in both directions. Will it tighten up once i climb on it? Is there a way to tighten the hitch without having to completely retie? I already weaved the blakes hitch tensioner bridge through for second bridge.
Jennifer, I see you just joined the JRB Tree Climbing Facebook group. That's the best place to ask a question because you can include a photo or video clip. It's not possible for me to make much of a guess without seeing what's going on. However, it's recommended that anyone using this bridge design gets familiar with the Longhorn Agile first. It holds well in one direction when configured properly.
ia the longhorn hitch on the 8mm rope a 6 mm?
Yes, that is stated in the comments in minute 3. Sterling TRC is 6mm.
@@jrbtc thx, my english is not the best.
@Simon-80 no problem. Everyone I answer a question, I double check my website to make sure I answer it there for the next person.
