Ah, I saw you use two carabiners together, now I know WHY. That demonstration with the square steel really shows what's going on. Excellent

Oddly satisfying to see the rope holding tension! Thanks again for the great tips.

I keep coming back to your videos over and over again. I haven't seen anyone explain what matters in a knot better than you yet.

Your videos provide straightforward instructions for the practical use of rope. Thanks. I had only practiced on a few knots but I will be working on these knots for lashing catgo.

Better be careful. Lashing your catgo could be considered animal cruelty in certain states.

You are 100% the best at explaining and demonstrating knots im so glad I found your channel.. keep the knowledge coming and thank you

I have watched several videos on a truckers hitch, and the presenter makes it so complicated that you can’t follow what’s going on. This was the best, straightforward, presentation that I have ever seen on the truckers hitch.

Thanks man, you're constantly adding to my arsenal of Mcguyver style solutions.

That was the best video on an easy trucker's hitch I have ever seen. Superb video, excellent description, thank you for posting!

Excellently explained in detail, why knots & hitches work the way they do! Thanks for sharing!

Trucker’s hitch is second in usefullness and frequency of use ONLY to the end-of-the-line bowline, my favorites, and you’ve blown my mind here, Sir

I love this! Been using the truckers hitch a lot, never knew I could get progress capture with a square peace of anything!

You can knot just blow my mind like that. I recall using binder knots in mason’s twine, but all those different applications are awesome.

Answered all the questions from the first video. Excellent. Thank you.

Thank You for the educational as well as entertaining video. I never knew rope would cinch itself like that. Keep up the good work. Have A Great Day! 😁👍🏼😎

A few jobs ago, I was delivering timber/lumber on the back of a flatbed lorry, and I learned the trucker's hitch without using any 'crabs. I'd just got it fixed in my muscle memory, so I could do it without thinking, then they changed the UK regulations, and we had to use straps from then on. Still haven't forgotten the knot, and still use it occasionally.

@@eonaalythia8525 2" wide straps are probably stronger than rope of a practical thickness,* and they are easier to pull tight. To do the same with rope, you need to be able to do a mildly complicated knot. Once a reasonably intelligent person is shown how to use a ratchet strap, they can do it as well as an experienced trucker. *Once rope is more than about 12mm in diameter, it gets progressively harder to make a knot in it, as it doesn't bend so easily.

You should look into the Garda hitch and the locking Munter. Both are two-carabiner solutions to tensioning and progress capture but they provide much more security and the ability to be tied off with a mule, although you could also tie off what you have here.

FCA crushes it once again. Beautiful.

Fantastic demo, well done, sir! Only constructive feedback is that they are called care-uh-beeeen-ers. ;) Seriously though, great demonstration of what works and why.

As a novice knot tyer, I'm very glad to have found your channel.

*WARNING!!!* Contrary to what's said in the description, *never ever use "cheap carabiners" for securing anything.* There's a good reason why good carabiners always have their strength written on it, into newton's force, and not the cheap ones. Besides that, you can get good carabiners at REI or any good sporting/outdoor stores for a very cheap price. So why save a few bucks (sometimes just 2 or 3 dollars) and risk major troubles? And make no mistake, the trucker's hitch puts a LOT of tension since that's THE purpose of it...

i'm not a fan of carabiners in general. bulky, expensive and heavy items. a thick wire bent in the vice to a small radius is just a better tool for most things. when it comes to high-stakes applications, maillons are much stronger if you can live with carrying a wrench.

@@krovek Yes, I'm definitely not suggesting people change from using a Garda for protecting people! I think you could use the Garda as part of a truckers hitch. I think the Garda is probably harder on the rope, but you're also right undoing is harder so that's probably the answer.

Fairly decent video, very few on KZread

Dude. STOP IT. TOO GOOD.

Apparently the 1870s was the golden age of knot technology. That would make sense.

Keep it going

Showing the use of cheap carabiners isn't cool. That's just asking for an accident and folks can say they learned it here! That aside, I thought the video was fantastic and I really learned something. I hate ratchet straps with a passion, but happen to love ropework and own a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots. I feel bad that I missed that knot in the book, but now I have a reason to go back through and refresh my memory. And you can be sure I'll definitely be using your carabiner idea to speed up the Trucker's Hitch when I have to secure a load.

Note: Carabiners with screw locks will not sit next to each other very well - the gate cylinders will press against one another - and one might slightly open the other's gate, if they're not in the locked position.

Awesome video, but for the love of God its a Cara-BEE-ner! :D

if you're going to use 2 carbiners.. go around 2 then 1... like the double D rings on a motorcycle helmet... It'l how I tension up my hammock camping..

Oh! Cool!

Yeah try that knot on a truckers hitch instead of a rigid body , reason why they pull through the hitch twice is to create even friction so stops knot getting to tight so it can’t be opened , your method creates a shear point as it’s compressing the other line . Difference in materials as I never saw a trucker use hemp rope they used in your book

@@austinyun Maybe. I can’t know what anyone else is thinking. But as far as knot slip, this needs to be properly tied off after pulling tight. You should not count on the hitch simply holding. The tension is, or should only, used to hold temporarily after pulling tight.

try next time to click the second loop only through the first carabine, so the pulling end will be caught by carabiners

You should invent the squarabiner.

Great idea.
