Favorite wire-core lanyard?

Never heard of "flipline hitch" or "high riggers hitch". What kind of hitch are we talking about? Does it resemble a prusic......do you have a picture?

If u have a Tree Climbers Companion its in there.

Anybody on here use the "flipline hitch" aka "high rigger's hitch" with a wire core flipline? Straight to the D-ring...(Instead of a friction hitch, prusik, or mechanical adjuster)

I've used it a few times just to see what is was like. Not very practical but it does work if you have no other options.

Basically it's like a knot that you use to sort of tie in a wire core lanyard around the D ring.

I'd be cautious using any hitch where you are directly tying to the D-ring. My flip cord came with an express warning not to use a Beckett Bend hitch which is an old hitch that was used with rope lanyards a lot back in the day.
