A Five-turn Rolling Hitch?

[centerline]

Practical Sailor had a recent series of articles on snubbers and chain hooks. Worth the read. They prefer hitches such as the camel hitch.

Camel hitch, which is a modified version of the prusik... or maybe the prusik is a modified version of the camel hitch.... also the klemheist knot and blakes hitch... they are all related in how they attach and how they function....

some knots and hitches, including many other things like ropes, lines, cables, shackles, clevis', ect, may be called by another name depending on the industry/sport/purpose in which they are used.... with some being only slightly modified versions of the original.

According to some material I was just looking over on "gripping hitches" from BOATUS, the camel hitch is a modified rolling hitch; they also discuss one called the icicle hitch.

as a person who knows knots and uses them, I would agree that a lot of knots/hitches are versions of another knot/hitch, but I would disagree that just because a knot/hitch looks kinda the same as another, that they have interchangable uses... because the basic purposes and characteristics of both can be vastly different from one another.
the Icicle hitch is a version of the girth hitch, and there are still more versions of both...
