Welcome to Treebuzz!
I had the opportunity to attend a 1- day course in my area w/Todd K & Mike dirkson
it was great!!!!!!! I thought I remembered (while talking to Mr.Kramer) he was using a 'canoe'....I thought it to be a knut but with a diff. turn at the bottom??? I hope there's no term...confusion..
thanks again /forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Oh...I get it 
A Ka-nute or would that be Canoe-T...that's clever Tod
If it's a variation on the Knut, pronounced "knewt" that would be a good term.

Re: friction Hitch/team footlock
Glen,
So one climber would be attached to each of the cords, one on the right and the left?
Why would anyone climb like that? Please explain the application.
At first glance I guess I could see using that configuration for opposite pulls on a main line. Add a couple of more round turns and you could end up with interlocking prusiks. With the single tuck it doesn't look too secure.
Tod should be checking in soon and shed some light on the subject.

Re: friction Hitch/team footlock
I may be wrong but it sounds like Tod was using his T.K. and was being clever with the name. There is a good article in this months Arborist News (written by a Buzzer if I am not mistaken) that has a good illustration and excellent description of the hitch you're after.

Re: friction Hitch/team footlock
Uh, Oh. Now I'm confused. /forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif Nathan's picture is a Knut, correct (the bottom half, anyway, which is depicted)? At leats, it matches the picture of the Knut in the Articles section 'AN OVERVIEW OF CLIMBING HITCHES'.
