- The Blake's Hitch tied with the tail of your climbing line - it just doesn't get any simpler than that. This is the classic set-up for beginners getting into tree climbing. For production climbers, I consider this set-up essential knowledge, allowing for a secondary tie-in in a pinch, or an emergency bail-out when all you have is a rope and a carabiner.

Finally, i found someone who can teach with basic clear steps. Good job.
My first introduction to climbing last week… A guy who was gracious enough to meet me and show me a few things that I never even met before… He showed me this system except he called the knot a monkey fist or a taught line hitch and it was tied a bit different … And I was not comfortable with it…it seemed loose and not secure .However, it did work… We went 40 feet up into a tree… And repelled down.
I like this version way better…
I know rite this was so easy to do I owe this man some money he helped me make money
Forreal
Then I don't think you've been watching other videos on have you
I love that you have at least a section of a tree in your office.
this is the best video to explain how to do this out there, very quick, simple, and straight to the point on all steps
Thanks dude ! I am starting out. This was really helpful. I can tell you are dedicated by the fact you live in a treehouse, with a trunk in your office for knot practice.
climbed today for the first time in thirty years and just watched this vid to refresh the knot...cant believe i had forgotten...lol...thanks for the awsome work
Well done sir. Well illustrated without skipping over steps.
Thank you EVER SO MUCH for explaining everything STEP BY STEP! So many other tutorial instructors assume that one already knows each step, or they don't understand how to give precise explanations regarding how AND why. This was just what I needed after watching a dozen others with poor results.

I love these simple easy straight to it videos Without all that talking he gets straight to what you want to know💯🙏
I feel old now. Haven't used that system for years! I figured I'm old enough now that if I want a tree in my living room to relax and hang from while watching T.V. in the evening, dang it I'm gonna get one!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you. The mid-line clove is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for your most awesome video showing how to tie the Blake hitch! I started climbing in 93 and the knot I learned on was the tautline hitch with a bowlin as an anchor knot, I remember when I first saw the Blake’s hitch, it was used on its on in a closed system like you described, then with split tail system a bit later. Using your thumb for the first 2 wraps really helps make it easier to tie!
This is a great description on how to tie the Blake's hitch, love it.
That is the best tree climbing tying knots to be use for all future tree hoisting. Thank You sir! For providing such a crucial guide in tree climbing knot tie.
Tree climbing & aerial rescue course starts tomorrow, this video has helped, cheers.
How did you get on I’m just starting off my journey cs30, 31 booked soon
A Blake's hitch is all you need takes two seconds to tie works perfectly and experienced climbers use this almost 100 percent of the men I've worked with for 40 years use this because it works great
It's also reliable. Those rope wrenches are nice but I'd be worried about it malfunctioning. Blakes hitch set it and forget it.
It’s good to know but you can’t beat the rope wrench or mechanical devices for efficiency and speed
@@kellytrees I’m really new to this and got a petzel zigzag and I really like it but damn, should I consider selling and just switching to this?
@@wyliehj I started climbing in '96 and most of these devices like the Zigzag didn't even exist. All we used for ascending the tree was the Blake's Hitch. It was the first knot I learned. All body thrusting up the tree. I don't know how the Zigzag works but I feel safer using a double line because I know I'm the only one in control of my climbing line. It also locks up on it's own when you let go of the knot. That's good just in case you slip off a limb or kick out with the spurs. There's no plastic or metal that can break unexpectantly. It's slower but whose in a rush when your life is on a rope.
@@wyliehj keep it you never know when you need it
You have the best knot tutorials. So easy to learn.
I'm learning the trade and have been enjoying and appreciating your information packed videos! Great job!
The very best instruction on TH-cam!
These are great videos! Keep them coming! Thanks
This is great stuff to teach our Cub Scouts! very well made video, thank you for sharing!
This is a perfect knot, and perfectly explained. Thank you. It's a very reliable knot if you remember exactly how to tie it.
I’ve been watching videos on the 2nd attempt of the north face of the Eiger in 1936. It ended in disaster. The Blake’s hitch may have allowed Kurtz to survive. He only had one good arm but he may have been able to tie this to the rope above him, and continue abseiling on that rope to avoid the knot that jammed in his carabiner, leaving him dangling up there. Just sort of a thought experiment. Great video!
And he could’ve tied a stopper on the first rope so if the Blake slipped, it would hit the stopper
Thank you very much for the video!!! I'm just getting into climbing and this will make me a ton safer than just having a flip line!
I have a flipline & homemade lanyard. But I won't really feel safe until I back everything up with a taut life line. Either from higher up in the same tree, or from a close adjacent tree. This might do the trick.
I like simple.
Great coaching vid, thanks very much!
learned this when I started working as tree surgeon 40 years ago
So glad for your video just bought my climbing gear and really ready to start climbing.
Excellent video. Thank you! Many Blessings!
awesome.
thank you.
cant say enough. thank you 🙏
🙏🏻 thank you!!
Can’t wait to try this out !
Love using the tail of your climbing line for a Blake’s hitch setup for extra positioning in wide spread trees
Thank you for the tips 🤝
Excellent!
Thank you Patrick!💪🏼💪🏼
Thank you... Extremely helpful
Excellent demonstration, thank you
Excellent!!! Thank you very much.
Another well done video thanks for your time and expertise!!
Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks
I HAVE ALREADY TESTED IT AND IT WORKED VERY WELL ON MY TREE CLIMBING ROPE
First time climber thank you
Thank you so much for a clear and easy to follow instructions
Thank you for explaining everything in great details
Thank you for the clear explanation,
also the thumb technique is very helpful!
Yep. I had to come back and watch this video again. Simple instructions that were easy to understand.
Brilliant! Just the info I was looking for. Well done sir
Nicely done.
beautiful and clean! good demo.
Man, thank you so much for doing this video. God bless you
I'm going to study it very carefully! Thanks a lot for clearness. 👍🇮🇹
My favorite tutorial to climb my tree. Thanks
AMAZING!!!! Thank you
Great job on the video Patrick 👌.
Great video for new apprentice like me , thank you !
Well illustrated and clearly explained. Well taught! Thank you!
Thank you! - Patrick
Having fun, thanks!!!
Thank you very much for Schering your Knowledge/Experience....very well explained
This was so simple that I subscribed!
Wow glad I rewatched this.
New to climbing w gear, and it seems I switched this around at some point 😅. Thank you for your thorough walk through.
Been working the wrong way I was doing it, (some minor slippage) but I trust those gone before me it’s done Properly this way for a reason.
No bs. Remembering this knot saved my life today. I only looked it up to make sure I did it right. Which I did. I kinda had doubt I did it right but I was able to safely descend. And I just wanted to watch a video to make sure I did it right
Literally the same thing at this very moment
How did it save you this is all I use
@@cjhicks9232 I use a prusik on srt
I just started my climbing journey for trees of course but this was one of the first knots I was told to learn and learn it to a T
Hm on my rope the knot works only when tied in outside the loop direction. Tied inside like here and it slips no matter what i tried.
Top man, thanks so much I was able to hoist myself up the mast and sort out tangled lines cheers dude ⛵️🤟
Great job but the Blake's hitch using just the rope is used by a lot of seasoned arborist because it works tried And true.
Love the videos you put out
Thanks for the time and work
Shane
Ive used the tautline which is even simpler and just as effective for over 30 years.
@Eric kicking liberals you could have to replace a new rope the same day if you use it wrong but it depends on how you use it, whether you use a friction saver or not, and how much of a load, as a rule once a year if all is good or if there is fraying esp if it's a rope that the jacket is the weight bearing element and the core just holds the shape of the rope. If you have a second thought retire it your life is worth more than the cost of a new rope.
Thanks for the thumb trick. I’ve always had a learning block with that
Great instructional video. I'm a pole climber from the military but been around tree work most my life. Top a tree a few months ago. I'd love to get some pro gear.
Definitely explains it well enough for a simpleton like myself to understand! Thanks man!
this is badass. really great video. thank you!
Awesome. Thanks
You’re awesome thank you
Great jab
Very clear and to the point! Thank you
Thanks for video !!!!👍💪
Thanks .keep it simple but safe.time to practice
This is a great video 👍
Thanks..great video and explanation
Excellent video
Nicely explained many thanks 😌
Great video thank's
Great video
I like tying knots but I’ve never climbed anything. Now I want to try. Subscribed.
Thank you señor!! 👌🏽
Thanks a lot!
If I can add to this by saying if your tie in point is high up in a very tall tree and you have a very long decent, go slowly because it's rope on rope friction inside the knot and can melt the rope if descending too rapidly ! Thanks and Merry Christmas Tree-Muggs and family !
Yup. I designed a knot that was similar to this and a Prussic. When load testing it (not in trees or at height) the load would increase but the knot didn't move. The the load exceeded the knots strength. The knot jumped a foot down the line, melted and welded to its new location. Not what I had expected. LOL
@@CandC68 fascinating!
Thanks for the advice. Aspiring climbing arborist here
@@CandC68 Wow, I wouldn't have expected that either. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for teaching us🙏👋💪
Thanks!
Thanks buddy I needed that 👍
Thanks so much for the video .. I'll try that..
Good video man. You have the camera in an angle where we can actually see and you do go the speed of light when tying the knots so the viewer can follow along. Other people’s videos drive me crazy because it’s hard to see what’s going on and they go way too fast. You got it just right.
Just a heads up, not that it matters but I think it autocorrected from, "don't" to, "do" in your comment.
It's a great starter knot like you said, kind of like the Prussik knot is one too.
Love this knot what is really nice is if you want you can use a slack tender pulley under it and take up your slack one handed so easily.
Thank you master
Thank you.
Thank you! 😀
I saved this video so i can refer to it from time to time. I don't use a Blake's Hitch every day but i like to keep it in my arsenal.
Good job👍👌
Great I just star cutting trees at home and I love it great video great help thanks
Este es el mejor video de TODOSSSSS!!!!!!
Thank you so much man very helpful.!!!
Thank you
