If you want to try a more advanced knot try the VT knot or the Valdotain Tresse. This knot is considered more difficult to tie than the Blakes hitch but it releases more easily and due to that it's easier to reposition yourself.

Thank you for making such a great video step by step. A lot of videos are vague on the Blake’s hitch which is a do or die knot for tree climbing. Liked and subscribed. It’s been a few years since I had my tree business and I need to refresh. You guys are literally “life savers”
