TL;DR
IMO, the best ones are Blanc, Bradley #1, Alain's, Pelican and Reeves. Super useful when pushing other players, especially if the banish is there.
Information
Before reading this guide, I would recommended mapping vault and jump to separate keys on your keyboard. It helps a lot when attempting some of these, and will also help general gameplay. I personally use V for vault, and Space for jump. When vaulting, you should be holding your forward key at all times.

Warning
Hunt desyncs very hard sometimes, and especially when you have higher ping. Some of these will be super inconsistent but are still possible after a few tries. For some context, I play on US West servers from Canada and have 80 ping constantly and can do all of them after a few tries. If you have tried over and over on one and don't think it's possible in a match, let me know. I will try it myself as well and remove it if it's only possible in Trials.
Warning suggested by @Diiba

This guide is sorted alphabetically, with each area being sorted most useful to least useful.
I provide both text/image guides & video guides for every vault/jump.

Text Guides
Text guides will include a brief description of where to go, and the path to take. With the provided images, I have highlighted the path with corresponding colours.

Video Guides

If you prefer just the videos, I have made a playlist here.
