Ordinary Prussic with wire core flipline

[NickinMids]

Will this work ok

 

Only need wire occasionally so don’t want to lay out for whole kit and caboodle  £45 versus £145 ish

A standard prussic will work, you could also use e2e hitch with or without pulley tending.

Prussics are shite and bind up with sap and shite.... no good for your elbows too... Get an isc rope grab for it and be done with it.... only 30 odd quidish

VT with a pulley works well.

I find a Distel Hitch with a micro pulley works well on the wire core flip line.

Bit easier to tie.

Any advanced hitch such as a vt or knut is better than a prussik. I used to use the minimal about of wraps and braids on a vt. Depending on cord i've even used a 3/1, which makes for a very short knot with minimal sit back. Depending on the size of your side d's and the termination o your flipline, you can even thread the flipline through the eye. The eye then becomes the tender and you can do away with the pulley. Hope that makes sense.

They should call it the bucket hitch as when it slips and you fall out the tree they can scoop you into one 😂
