When tieing the truckers hitch, If you feed the running end through the loop twice instead of just once it will hold itself tight while you are tieing the half hitches. Good video, thanks.

You're a genius at knotting, thank you buddy

I will always use the genius taut-line with my tarp now. You guys are great teachers. Thanks so much :-)

A slippery guy is much better. A very similar knot. In a slippery guy, you tie it with a loop at the end to back it all out quickly, and it has 3 looks around the inside in sequence, one to the outside then your fastener.

Truckers hitch at one end is best 👍🏼👍🏼 Bowline with a toggle at the other 👌

Yours, like many videos we've enjoyed, portray your "taut-line hitch" by tying the second half hitch (the one on the outside of the loop) spiraling around the standing part in a different direction than the first. This configuration yields a lark's head, where the two half hitches lay against one another, which has been proven to provide less holding power than if the two half hitches were formed in an identical fashion (like you did when securing your trucker's hitch). Though some don't seem to concur, a proper taut-line hitch has the working end proceeding around the standing part in the same way during the entire knot-tying process. This forms a rolling hitch around the standing part, which is actually what the taut-line hitch is called throughout Europe.

"This configuration yields a lark's head, where the two half hitches lay against one another, which has been proven to provide less holding power than if the two half hitch". Well, after hauling dozens of canoes at the time for years, the two half hitch in a lark's head configuration is a very stable knot. But I have to confess, before tying it I always do some "chicken dead turn" around my anchor point to add some friction. This also force the knot to be near the anchor point instead of being at the figure eight knot. This has the double advantage of narrowing the bight and tightening the rope even more. The other advantage is that the knot is now sitting near the anchor point and not in the middle of the rope, making it less prone to vibrate under high wind while you drive.

@@Patat0four btw, a lark's head around the standing part is often called a cow hitch. Of course it's a real knot, but differentiated from "Two Half Hitches ("Double Half Hitch") which is a a clove hitch around the standing part. Cheers.

Good video. My dad knew how to tie all these knots. Many Times he tried to teach me the bowline. Truckers hitch I picked up securing various things to vehicles. Taught line hitch still makes my head spin a bit. Much like the bowline used to do. Until I learned to do it a fairly quick way. Not quite as quick as yours. Anyway your video was Also the catalyst for something you might want to include in a future video. When I was younger working on a framing crew also the catalyst for something you might want to include in a future video. When I was younger working on a framing crew for a while we Doubled over the extension cords and braided them. Similar to the rope shortening message you used. Actually it's the same thing. So my thought is you could use extension cords to climb. Then when you wanted to stop for lunch, you could Plug in your microwave, or your tea pot, or whatever appliance you bring with you up the face of the mountain and have lunch or afternoon tea, etc.

i agree with comments. i am a professional tree trimmer. and i would knot trust these guys. there are better videos out there. these ppl are gonna get someone injured or killed.

Great video. Thank you

Simple and helpful!

NICE WHITEWATER HAT! I love the whitewater center here in NC!

Thank you very much👍great Work

Kinda funny as an equestrian I use a few of these knots often..I use the chain sinnet almost everyday because I can’t just use a simple secured quick release when tying Brian my horse..it comes in handy especially with 12’ training lead but even with a 7’-9’ lead rope..if I leave a tail of any sort Brian chews or gets himself into a pickle🙄 For some reason equestrians call the chain sinnet a daisy chain..unless they’re two different quick release chains? That’s exactly how I tie it so I think it’s the same..we just call it something different..awesome video!! Almost all of these knots shown are incredibly handy for everyday equestrian use and for taking the horses to the mountains..fantastic job thank you!

very cool , thanks for sharing

Quick note... 0:52... that "slip knot" is usually called a marlinspike hitch in knot tying circles. (In case anyone was interested.)

Cheers Mate!

very very beautiful knots

Everybody talks about the bowline being so useful but the only knots I’ve really ever needed was truckers hitch (a bit different than he’s shown) a half hitch, slip knot, prussic a barrel hitch, clove hitch and a simple bend

Wery good technics. Thank you wery much.

Helpful, thank you 😊

Best knot tip ...❤ Great tips

hi guys, I like your knot video, that is until you got to the Prusik. It's a cool knot with lots of uses, but you started with a Prusik and ended with a autoblock - used in different applications.

Thank you very much 🥰💕

Hi. Thank you for this. I have some trouble with the Prusik, so I'll have to practice that one, but the Chain Sinnet I've been doing since I was a kid, except we called it finger knitting. Cool. Again, thanks.

Doing it a long time does not mean you thought about it much. It is much more effective: faster & shorter & safer & more convenient, if you double it, and start tying it from the ends until you have a small end loop you can clip to. It cannot catch on stuff the way that loop of sinnet stitches can. Also, for longer lines, to avoid getting a lot of twists into your line, (& make a neater sinnet) alternate the loop tucks right and left handed for a zero net twist.

Really like that bowline

The knot you called the trucker's knot is what we used to use to tie down freight and cargo planes

1:24 a trucker taught me this knot....he used slip knot half hitches here too. A lot easier to untie than what you did.

Hands in the way!!

Thank you

really most useful

Great thanks

Verry verry nice information

Excellent presentation! Great job, thank you!

The first Knot in "the prusik Knot" is double fisherman Knot, you looped it to the other rope, now that then form a prusik Knot. Its a compound Knot, as trucker hitch.

This is knot a very good video.

thanks for giving us the chain sinnet name; I've been calling it "daisy chain" for years. and also thanks for the one handed bowline demo!

*They are very handy to have, for anyone who likes to hick or climb...* *I personally have always liked knots and especially being in the Navy where they can save your life.*

Truckers knot is called a "Dolly knot" in the U.K.... You can have them in line on the same bit of rope... I have used 4 in line when transporting chip board flooring (The shiny stuff)... like it to stay on my lorry.. saves on paperwork :-)

Good vid, EXCEPT...you never tie to the siderail of the rack, always to the crossbar and against the side of the hull to eliminate all space between the hull and the rope. Tying to the siderail allows for side to side movement of the boat on the crossbar.

the taut line hitch can be tight meaning not sliding if you do a jam knot.. meaning take the scond turn of the taut hitch and cram it down over and around the first turn ..then a half hitch or two just to secure the set

Love your teaching technique, go super slow at the first part and then you just go…bang bang bang and your done!!! Yeah thx I didn’t learn shot

Knots might not be the most interesting video we have done, but they sure are useful!

Hello, this is really amazing. I love it. I couldn't find any teaching of these knots, do you have any idea what it might called? It doesn't look like "Chain Sinnet" or "Zipper Sinnet". It is in this Video at 5:40 so you don't have to watch the whole video. Thanks a lot!

why would I use a tautline? when a truckers hitch is a better choice because it is faster and easer to tie it does not come loose you can put allot more tension on your line and its quick and easy to unite with just a pull. a bowline with a spike hitch does great at the other end. Great video Thank for sharing!

good knots

I like how you tie knots

what would be a good manilla rope to work on a tree limb 20" high 6" limb? 3/4 manilla, ok?

Good knot review. Thanks. The sinnet was new to me.

Regarding the mid line knot for truckers hitch. I would use a butterfly knot. And now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if a butterfly loop is stronger than a bowline. With a bowline under max load, the cord will always break at the first sharp turn from the load side. You can mark the rope a that point and watch it. I wonder if the butterfly knot softens that first turn. Just tied one, and it might. If tested and it works, the butterfly may be a better end loop, as well as mid line loop.

Nice work, I often add a small stick into my bowlines if they are going to be under severe strain like pulling a car. Break the stick and you can get out the impossible rock hard knot. I also like the water knot.

A stick through a figure eight knot also helps

That last one i "discovered" decades ago out of frustration with unruly extension cords.😂

Good info but for the Prusik. I've climbed both rock and ice for decades. Even some people who write books about climbing are confused as to how to release a Prusik in a rappel situation. The only way to tie a Prusik, I stress, the only way for rappeling is to get an extension so your belay device is about a foot away from you and you then tie the Prusik UNDERNEATH the belay device, between you and the belay device, if you have your Prusik above you will not be able to release it because it will be under full tension !! If it is as it should be BELOW the belay device, pulling on the rope portion that controls your descent through the belay device will allow you to release the Prusik. Most instruction books and brochures show a Prusik above a belay device which is fundamentally wrong. There is a very easy way to do it one handed and it is how it should be done.

Haven't read all the comments, so pardon us if we're being repetitive. The taut-line hitch was illustrated incorrectly. Both half hitches need to spiral around the standing part in the same way, or you'll be sacrificing a major degree of friction the configuration yields to keep the line "taut." i.e. BOTH initially passing OVER the standing part from the right -or- UNDER the standing part from the right -or- OVER the standing part from the left -or- UNDER the standing part from the left. kzread.info/dash/bejne/emimxKSBoJS3iNI.html

+maisetas - Yeah, I tend to tie the tautline differently most of the time too. I looked it up before I did the video though and this method is one of the more common ones. Good observation.

Good video! Thanks for posting! One thing: the way you've tied the prusik is pretty dangerous; it will become undressed very easily, making it useless. I suggest simply pulling the inner bight through the outer bight, making the outer bight sinch down on the knot, holding it in place. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Thanks again!

@scfdtraining7701

He tied it correctly but named it incorrectly. The knot he tied is called an autoblock and it is standard practice to apply it the exact way he showed. I suggest you do some research on the knot and try it out for yourself, you'll discover that you can release loads while under tension. Just remember if that hitches depend on the size ratio of cord to rope in addition to handle and feel. If you have really thick stiff rope for your cord, it's going to suck as a prussic, so make sure you've got a good 6 or 7mm rope that is nice and supple.

I'm with James on this. He started with a Prusik, but when he looped the second bite around the biner, it became an autolok - wrapped wrong. Like James said: "it will become undressed very easily, making it useless". or less effective.

I love watching this stuff, people who can tie knots amaze me.I can perform complex machining and welding operations and tear machines and trains down and rebuild them but ask me to tie a knot and I'm fucked.

Great production values and instruction. However, I would say that two of the knots are wrong. The prusik and the taut line hitch are not correct. The bowline is sort of right but if you are going to tie a one handed bowline, use one hand. Otherwise, use the conventional way with two hands IMO.

truckers hitch

I have to start looking at the dates of these videos before watching and commenting. I just saw this is from over 7 years ago, so I don't know if the makers of the video are still responding. Two things with this video make me a little cautious about using these knots. The more important thing is there are many comments below (so "knot" just some crackpot keyboard warrior) stating these knots are either tied incorrectly or named incorrectly. The second thing is regarding the first knot in this video, the Trucker's Hitch. You covered the rope/knot with your hand while tying it, so I could "knot" see what you did to tie the knot. Thank you for the attempt, but I will be looking at many other videos before relying on information that will possibly save my life in the wilderness.

Maravilha abraço Brasil

5 kayaker knots the link in the end of this video it´s not available anymore, what happened to that video?

One mistake I've seen on most of these sites is tying a hitch versus a knot A hitch will only hold when it stays in tension and you cannot untie a hitch under tension. A knot will hold whether under tension or knot, misspell mine( knot, not). And you can untie a knot even when it's under tension. I hope this helped, if you forget these, just find a Boy Scout, he'll know.

good like 1

What am I supposed to do with the remains of the rope when I'm using the truckers hitch tying something to the roof of a car?

What knot would you use on the pother side of the Trucker's hitch? Would it be a bowline perhaps?

There are actually several tying variants to tie the same version of the bowline (that exists in many versions). For the 'standard' bowline, there is also a single-handed tying variant for a rope hanging straight down. It is somewhat similar to yours. I have learned about: the standard bowline, the bowline 1.5 = yosemity bowline, the double bowline, the flying bowline, the spanish bowline. And if you look at the standard bowline very closely, you will find out that the sheet bend is basically the same, even though it is used to tie two ends together. Just imagine both standing ends being the loop, and you will see.... 🤔 the form is identical, function and load direction are not (I think, at least).

That “Prusik” will not save your life.
