friction hitches

If Gary Storrick doesn't have it right, he'll correct the details. All you have to do is write to him.

TK gets his hitch in the collection!

Be sure to read Gary's site from beginning to end.

Interesting that TK's hitch has the end free, like a tautline. I'll have to try it out.

The end shouldn't be free. Both ends should be attached to the carabiner. There are three photos, as well as a written description, of the TK at the end of this article:

The last knot in the above article is incorrectly called the Martin. The correct name is Michoacan:

Both of these (as well as many other articles) are in the Articles section here on TBzz. Go to the very top of this page, look in the top menu bar, and click Articles.
