I think you guys over the pond need to learn how to tie a real rolling hitch before you tell others how to tie it wrong

thanks.

Painful to watch, tied incorrectly, would be dangerous if anyone actually needed to use this knot and did it the way Dan tied it.

can you do a video of how to do a prussick lashing with synthetic rope

Sorry, but this is backwards. The 2-3 turns go in the direction of the pull (towards the piano) with the final half hitch in the other direction. This is, maybe, the icicle hitch? but not the rolling hitch.

That is no rolling hitch! Any commercial fisherman knows that.

[kamarulx]

the camera should've been shooting from the other direction.

Then please post a video of the right knot.
