lengths of friction cord???

[jack O'brien]

what lengths should i be cutting my friction cord too (cm) for tying knots like the distel, swabian prusik, ect??

 

Thanks.

Why don't you try making your hitch, get it the perfect length and then mark and cut at the appropriate point...

[Rupe]

There are many lengths, but if you want one to go by then its 1.5m. Then just use longer tails for distels ond shorter for vt etc. 1.5 will do you any hitch you want except long prussiks so its a good measure. Then just buy your cord in 3,6,9m lenghts and you know you will get 2,4,6 hitches out of it.

 

If you use prussiks and want slightly longer ones then 2m lengths.
