I got a copy of the RM essential bushcraft book for Christmas and seeing as it's been a while I grabbed a bit of string and had a go at the evenk hitch (on page 137)
This drawing makes no sense to me
fig 1 was as I remember make a loop over your hand with the dead end
fig 2 spin your hand up and over
so far so good
Fig 3 ???suddenly someones swapped the ropes over around the tree?
Problem is now what I thought I remember is lost in a mini sea of confusion
So I thought I would look at Mr Mears site and ask him to explain
I have been on the site before and it is in my favourites raymears.com
so off my browser goes only to demand a user name and password
I did a google search and found woodlore.com again name and pasword required
Any ideas how to get onto the site?
Must be possible as he's a business selling stuff
P.S. anyone got a good evenk hitch tutorial please let me know
