Hitch Hiker thread.

This is the problem with hitch based systems and efforts to regulate them. Every person will have different needs in a hitch

DMc, if it works so well with the HH, why is 10mm Beeline supplied?

Apologies if I butting in as your question was to Dave. I have trialed a few cords and still haven't quite dialed the HH in. My view/impression is that BL with the recommended hitch (VT minus the braids) performs the most reliably from the onset and once stretched and broken in continues to be solid. I can't say the same for some of the other cordage I have tied (and hitches). Some whilst breaking don't set reliably, some combinations lock on the line worse than others.

 

The combinations of access line, cordage and hitch including the breaking in of the cord effects behavior and feel considerably.

At a guess the BL is supplied because it was as close a compromise one would want to make from reliability to performance and not the other way around. Currently on Factory Tach I'm trialing/breaking in 8mm HRC, this was recommended by a US fella that by his account has his HH virtually self tending at times.

I have just start using vortex hot (sexy rope) and the HRC bites harder on the softer 12.7mm, I am looking at trialing 10 mm OP as an alternative.

Its a bit of fun finding the "Holy Grail" of combo's.

Sorry I'm not with you mate? Do you mean the fact I've tied a Knut and not a half VT?

 

Looking forward to using it, might go for a trial run this afternoon

I'm looking on my phone but it looks as though there is a stopper knot above the dog bone on the leg nearest the camera.
