That’s a very person-to-person question! Maybe a few minutes? Maybe less and maybe more. Often with predicaments part of the play is moving in and out of the final position, so one way to play with this tie for longer would be to tie your model into it until they seem close to done, release the knees from the chest so that they can stand up and take a break, and then re-tie the knees into the chest to keep playing.

Anthony Ru Understood! No, this shouldn’t pose an issue!

In the second version of the tie we can see that the larkshead is a bit less risky, because the following wraps on the foot will prevent the larkshead from cinching tighter. We hope this helps! And in the coming months we’ll be releasing a tutorial all about microbondage and tying fingers and toes, so if you want a deep dive on the topic, stay tuned!

It’s a great question! As with everything we do, there are rarely hard and fast rules like “you always do this” and “you never do that”. Or at least, as you get more advanced, some of what you may have initially learned as a rule becomes something more nuanced that you approach with a more developed risk assessment. In the first tie you see here, circulation is unlikely to be a major risk, simply because you could easily have your model lean forward and put slack into the line between their waist and toes and slip the larkshead off if it became a problem. However, you should be aware and careful about putting too much pressure on the delicate bones of the toes here. Notice that Gorgone pulls gently and waits to understand from their model if the pressure is too intense. Be careful with this specific tie making any sudden movements that could pull hard on the toes. 

You can absolutely do it in either orientation. And technically, when you add the extra crossing, you create a half hitch! 

Ben Cornell Hm- that link isn’t working for us either, but this one is. Does this work for you?https://www.etsy.com/listing/4351184478/liefs-hug-harness  

We actually have a forthcoming suspension sequence tutorial using this harness, so stay tuned! 

Definitely! Check out the Suspension Lines video to hear Doll’s recommendations for where to attach. We have a forthcoming suspension sequence tutorial using this harness, so stay tuned! 

Great question! Based on how forward-folded the final position is, picking up from the back is likely going to be a bit more sustainable, however, we think experimentation is great. If you give it a try front-loaded, you could try with this harness.
