Blakes is a great friction hitch to start on. It's a piece of cake to tie and is quite steady, use a split tail with 1 spliced or sewn eye. The way it sits when dressed makes it quite easy to set up self tending too.

I've about come to the end of my time on a blakes, I've been trying out a helical but it's a bit of a pain to tie and set right so I'm moving over to a VT now [with a length of cord with a fisherman's knot each end] which I really like, quite quick running and ties easily, but I think I need an HC & spliced eye to eye cord to get the best from it.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I watched the Spiderjack 2.1 video and friction hitches are dead to me.....!
