Really good video, can you try my method in that small cord? My method is using ABOK 173 but I do not allow my Clove Hitch to widen like you and most others do in their tying method. I tie the Clove Hitch exactly like you would if you were tying it to a ring or rail, jammed up tight as it should be. I’d be very interested in the results of that scenario.

For the record on my method, which I’ve tested crudely in Paracord, I’ve never had it slip or fail. I can report it seems sturdier tying the Clove Hitch method than using the Cow Hitch, (I’ve tried the Cow Hitch).

Great suggestion! Diff_lock, what TMCD is describing here when he suggests ABOK #173 is two explicit nips with the standing part around the bight, just like the third TH in your video but he dresses the two nips together to form an unmistakable Clove Hitch. If that doesn’t work, try ABOK #173 + Half Hitch lock. Now that’s the video I’d like to see.
