Farrimond Friction Hitch Details
Found in: Hitches, Scouting, Slide & Grip
Origin: The Farrimond Friction Hitch comes from British actor Barry Farrimond. He showed it in 2008 at the Yellow Wood Bush Camp in Wales. It is like the Prusik Knot which has three wraps, not two.
Purpose: The Farrimond Friction Hitch is a fast and easy way to tighten a tent ridge line. Pulling on the end releases the hitch.
Tying It: For photography, the image shows a large loop wrapped around the standing end. In practice, it is best to keep this loop small because it makes it easier to tighten.
Caution: The effectiveness of the Farrimond Friction Hitch depends on the type of rope used. Experience indicates it holds firm in paracord. If slipping occurs, wrap the loop an extra time for better security.
