All of this terminology, it's not maths terminology. It's names, it's sophism. These names are not topological descriptions of the knots, but rather a way to refer to them. Topology borrows some of these but they are then defined precisely and orthogonally, meaning you don't call two different applications of the same thing the same name. The same knot can be a bend or a hitch, depending on how you've used it. That's because the characteristics of it change with application. Cheers.
Thanks, kinda what I mentioned in the title. Most importantly I hope people pick up on the use of the ring and length of rope to illuminate the noncinching attachments on an anchor.
@@RichardMumford1 yeah, if the carabiner is not right in front of my face it better be cinched. Base anchor 100% of the time should be NOT sideloaded, that's kinda non-negotiable.
3:54 If you screw it up like that it will still work correct? Similar to messing up a figure 8 and accidentally making a figure 9 it will still work and you won't die. I like knots that work even if you screw it up it's a nice feature.
Enjoyed the video. Lots of Knots!
Mumford your a LEGEND bro
Probably more geezer than legend but happy to be here non the less. ;-)

I would be difficult for me to imagine that form failing to support a climber.
I know this is off topic: Can one use your Hitchiker device as a lanyard tending device instead of hitch/pulley or zigzag/omni etc???
Yes, and instantly can be used SRT or full climbing system.
