This is a must know knot for any climber. Used for everything from self belay to crevasse rescue. Try this hitch out. It is real easy but believe me you can be really hooped if you don't know it. On the other hand this will get you out of a bind when nothing else will. Common knot for mountaineers who travel light in the big hills. Used to ascend a rope or self rescue out of a crevasse.

I have no idea what I meant by the above comment. I honestly do not have an explanation. Please do not take offense. I appreciate the knowledge shared through these videos.
I want to use this knot as a safety line while climbing to a tree stand during hunting season.I am using a piece of rope that is about 6ft in length. What type of knot do I need to use to connect the two ends of my rope together so that I can connect my carabiner and use the prusik to climb?
Check out" backing up your rappel" I think Tom uses the knot your looking for. Realy you just want to close the loop and a simple overhand wil do that. Put a second overhand behind the first if you be a big chicken. The most secure closing of a loop may be the double fisherman,s knot. The Mike
