A lot of people seem to get hung up thinking that something newer or more complicated has to be better. It's super-easy to tie, provides good adjustability, is very secure. I don't know what it's called. The adjustable grip hitch might be marginally easier to tie for some people I suppose. Cookies help us deliver our Services. The Farrimond looks easier to tie and undo though if you don't mind the bulk. In my few minutes of experimentation with moderately slippery nylon rope, I found the Arrowhead to hold slightly better than the Adjustable Grip Hitch. things like adjustable grip hitch and this arrowhead need to go through the loop, which means that to keep the loop open, the loop either cannot be under tension, or your have to pinch and hold the wraps to prevent them from sliding while you finish it. It isn't as easy to untie, but my greater complaint is that it's annoying to dress. The taut-line hitch is an adjustable loop knot for use on lines under tension.It is useful when the length of a line will need to be periodically adjusted in order to maintain tension. A lot of people seem to get hung up thinking that something newer or more complicated has to be better. the reason that they are finished the way they are is that when you bring the final hitch "upwards," away from the loop, is that you can maintain tension on the working end when finishing it to keep the loop open, and it won't slide shut. Thank you. I'm going to play around with it myself tomorrow. I also never liked how the taut line hitch is finished. The adjustable grip hitch is a simple and useful friction hitch which may easily be shifted up and down the rope while slack. It also is my go-to hutch for tensioning but am eager to try this arrow head hitch of his. Oh I like the Farrimond. The Farrimond seems much better in that respect. Very similar to the adjustible grip hitch. I have no dog the fight, of course, but I do want to learn 1 really good hitch that can also be used for guy lines, to terminate the truckers hitch, and perhaps as a stand-alone strap down hitch. I usually don't untie these knots when I use them, so I use the version of the taut-line where the last turn in the opposite direction(twists less I guess).

Thanks. In my few minutes of experimentation with moderately slippery nylon rope, I found the Arrowhead to hold slightly better than the Adjustable Grip Hitch. Or just tie a loop, eg.. bowline in the end, before or after forming the prusik, whichever is easier. It's super-easy to tie, provides good adjustability, is very secure, but also very easy to untie. that said, it isn't what the video guy seems to need here so maybe the arrowhead is better for his situation. This one you show here is a bit easier, and easier to untie, so a nice addition to the options. Edited to add: I actually use a slightly modified adjustable grip hitch and not taut line when I don't have enough length for a Farrimond, but for what it's worth I like the Arrowhead hitch. I'll check out the midshipmans too. Taut-line hitch, Farrimond friction hitch: Releasing: Non- jamming: Typical use: Keep a rope taut: ABoK: 1994: The adjustable grip hitch is a simple and useful friction hitch which may easily be shifted up and down the rope while slack. The taut line is a poor substitute for the superior midshipman's hitch. I have no experience with an Arrowhead hitch. Going to play with this Arrowhead some more when I have a little time. So for that reason I don't use it. It is also known by the names adjustable hitch, tent-line hitch, tent hitch and rigger’s hitch. since the pull on the working end is going away from the loop, it's basically trying to open the loop. Not secure at all with that tail hanging there just waiting to get snagged on something and spilling the knot. with the others, they would have to hold the bag until the knot is dressed unless i have got super strong fingers to pinch the knot while i finish it. just remember: tautline is for tying in taut lines :-p, easy to tie, more stable, and slipped, which i must admit i am a sucker for, Blake's hitch for the win! I've just started researching knots to find just 3 or 4 I can learn and teach my kids that will be the most useful in life generally. the tautline/midshipmans hitch has one characteristic that sets it apart from most other popular slide and grip knots, this arrowhead included, i think. Much harder to tie than all three of the OP's knots. BTW you can tie it in the end of a rope, no loop, just leaving the extra tag loose. For that reason I use the Blake's hitch for guy lines. thanks for introducing this to me. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.
