Common Tension Loss Problem when Locking Off
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT SHOWING HOW TO ASSEMBLE A SUSPENDABLE UPLINE HERE. THIS IS PURELY TO DEMONSTRATE A CONCEPT. THERE ARE ELEMENTS MISSING FOR CREATING A SUSPENSION WORTHY UPLINE. DO NOT TAKE EXACTLY WHAT I'VE SHOWN HERE AND SUSPEND WITH IT. THERE ARE OTHER NECESSARY CONSIDERATIONS. LEARN THAT FROM SOMEONE IN-PERSON PLEASE. Quick video here to respond to a question I see from time to time about troubleshooting loss of tension. When you're placing frictions as you tie off, it's important to consider not only how well these frictions hold but also what frictions you can assemble under tension. Half hitches cannot easily be assembled under tension, especially heavy tension like in a suspension. Therefore assembling a U-friction or X-friction (probably not official names) first can help mitigate or even eliminate your tension loss as your lock off with your half hitches. Just a quick video to help learners out there. Hope y'all find this useful.
