This video will make much more sense if you watch the Tumble Hitch video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ-ktHS7C54

When I was learning the Tumble Hitch, I never felt like it was a very secure knot.  Sure, it was better than the Highwayman's Hitch, but it still had a tendency to fall apart on me unless I tied it carefully around something small.

So I came up with the Somersault Hitch.  It's just a more secure Tumble Hitch (I mean, what's more secure than a somersault?). It can still be tied in the bight and disappears with a single tug, but it holds much more securely.

This is a hitch worth experimenting with, but more testing is needed before I would recommend it for any specific uses.  I leave that up to all of you in cyberspace.
