This is great! I've seen other videos on using a Blake's hitch, but this is far and away the best way to use it for minimal gear.

This video has helped so much Bino ! Thank you !
I was having trouble getting a my Blake’s hitch to tend. I was tying a second Blake’s hitch for the tender.
I just went and tied in with this technique and it tended perfectly!

Thanks again!

I really like your explanation, it's worth a try. Gotta love any system that doesn't rely on extra working parts. One could even use it on the tail of a rope for a second point of attachment. I had to chuckle when you called that knot a bowline, and it is easy to see why. I would have call it a sheet bend, which is basically the same knot used to tie two ropes together. On the other hand, your description more accurately describes the big loop of rope formed through the working end of the line, the carabiner, bridge, and tail back to the knot.

This technique is exactly what i was looking for

Well with me being a coal miner who doesn’t want to go back underground and just recently started a business trimming trees, you are one of my first climbing teachers. The lesson was free which made it that much better. I’m going to go make the house payment and put food on the table using this technique. Thank you so much man

I turned 56 the day after Christmas and I used to do this type of work when I was a young man. I was engaged to a girl who was killed in a car accident with 3 of her friends from high school and my life changed for the worst. Any way I have 5 pen oak's in my yard and I am going to try to top them. I have bought a good rope and a set of cheap spurs from Amazon and I have been looking for ideas that I can use to get the job done. I remember using the Blake's hitch because in 1984, 85 we used a 1 rope system and your review of this is by far the best
one i have seen on YouTube 💯%thank you sir and God bless you and your family ✝️🇺🇲🇨🇦🙏🏼👍🏻

Great video so many interesting ways to climb.

[myprojek]

I like that..same type event deffrent hitch...very good..👍

What a great way to add what you already have to your Climbin system. I Come across so many climbers that do not like single rope or unwilling to learn it and always ask for something alternative thanks bino.

[limenzest]

I love the straightforward knowledge you bring, and of course the music.

[stevebrough]

Thanks Bino, this is very interesting. Everytime that I see you at this location my vast GPS mind tries to figure out where you're at. Reminds me of near D. A. Blvd near 605.

[garyhenion]

Anything in MRS that is self tending is a great thing to learn
Thank you for taking the time to show different techniques

You can do another Blake’s hitch in place of the bowline knot and when you need to rappel, you can break the top Blake’s easy without completely undoing the knot and just squeeze the bottom Blake’s hitch and rappel as normal.

Hi,
Good system,
the only problem I can see is that you have to release the tension of the rope to remove the " kind if bowline" that pulls up the blake's hitch before to envisage to go down.
This is not always possible
. I would suggest to replace the " kind of bowline" at the same place by an other blake's hitch. In that configuration the effect of the second blake's hitch is neutralized by simply pull it down ( no need to remove) in only one movement allowing the descent
Regards

When you come down you have to tie the knot back to the working line? Thanks a bunch

Dear Bino; I'm 80 years young, getting information to successfully and safely climb to prune my backyard tree; my strength is far away from what it used to be, now thanks to you I know how to handle the tools and equipment efficiently. now I feel more confident

Excelente video Bino, no entiendo inglés, jajaja pero la práctica hablo mas que las palabras 🫵🏻😎, el video que estaba buscando para ascender, aprendo mucho con tus videos, gracias por compartir, tu experiencia y conocimientos a los que estamos empezando en el tema, en mi caso de poda de árboles, saludos desde 🇨🇱

[hasiriyusof]

Thanks Bino for the useful tutorial. So simple but great functioning.

[philosborn]

Hi Bino, if I wanted to go back down before I got to a point to use a lanyard, could I untie the bowline and decend? 🇨🇦🇺🇸
