Here is my latest videos published to my channel for a new slipped hitch that myself and another YouTuber conceptualized and then came up with a few possible applications for it. It can be used as a loop knot, but it works better as a hitch since it gets weakened a bit by ring loading.
I decided to name it the MIRAGE hitch because, much like a mirage, first you see it and then, once you pull the tail, it disappears as if it were never there, making untying it a breeze. It is basically just a girth hitch, with the working end wrapped around or through an object/piece of hardware, and then, after forming a bight with it, that bight is slipped through the girth hitch. I looked everywhere for this knot online and in a few books before I determined that it very well may be a new knot. So, until proven otherwise, myself and another climbing YouTuber will be taking credit for it.
Short form:
Long form:
Thanks to anyone who took the time to check it out! =-D
