I cary both ratchet straps and 1100 paracord… i typically just do a simple square type loop knot that i run the rope thru then pull against it, then pinch and secure with a square knot… sometimes less is more… i may do a video on it next time i need to move something, which is like every weekend… i have no idea how people can live without a truck

I use a considerably different version of this as a "trucker's hitch" and have done for many, many years. I've never seen this technique and I like it much better than the way I've been doing it, so thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. As an old man, I'm just amazed at what can be learned these days on this platform, but it's only because guys like you take the time to make content and are willing to share with the rest of us. So, sincerely, thanks!

God comment. Same here, agree on all points. Amazing knot.

My Dad was an old school trucker and he taught me how to do this years ago. He would use it to tie all sorts of machine parts to his trailer - an incredible knot.. trouble is, I have never gotten it right when I need it.. He has been dead for years but I can still hear him standing behind me 'tutting' when I get it wrong!

I don't get it, does he wrap his pulling end through the loop window to get the ratcheting effect, I use an alpine butterfly for the loop. Is this potentially bad for the rope, (I only use slippage twine to tie recycle material loads. Sobi do t use real rope)

Knot tying is like sleight of hand magic. You can show me how you do it, and explain every step along the way, but it's still magic to me.

The key is to memorize the knot and not necessarily the hand movements involved. Too many people when making these videos try to explain the hand movements involved in doing the knots and I understand that but really you need to learn the knots most importantly, then from that point you will discover the hand movements you that work best for you. The movements can change depending on the person tying them, the knot is the knot and should never really change at all.

I agree with the positive comments & after trying it all I can add is that this form is a game changer for ease of tying down & then ease of releasing our tie downs. Remember a good knot releases as easily as it initially ties. Back in days of yore when we tied our payload down with rope we never saw stray ropes laying on the roadside...now there is never one trip we don't see at least one webbing ratchet strap laying malevolently on the road waiting to flick up & crack a windscreen.

@@DaibheadSeamas if you tie the slip knot the other direction (where the tail is the side that goes to the tree) then it won’t bind. The knot in this video and a truckers hitch are functionally the exact same, the only difference is how the loop is created. Choose whichever works best for you.

I learned a knot very similar to this when in high school while in Ethiopia from a missionary. I’ve been trying to remember it for the longest time. This video definitely helps bring back some of the memories. Even if it’s not exactly the same it’s just as good if not better.

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if this was going to be a positive comment at first. I’m glad you like it enough to show others.

Loved learning this knot. Will use it to batten down more tightly my kayak to the bed of my pick up truck!

I use a running figure eight for the second anchor point. I have seen many different ways to tie a truckers hitch. I like that both of your methods do not require to pull the running/working end all the way through.

Fantastic! This 180° loop inversion is the key. Very smart. I have a spare set of rope that I'll bring into the trunk from now on.

Imagine you go help a buddy pick up a piece of furniture and he's got nothing to secure it with because he doesn't think that far ahead and picked you up, so you don't have your ratchet straps either.. with knot tying skills and twine from the furniture store you get to be the shining star of the day!

I had no idea that Steve Buscemi knew his knots! Excellent instructional video!

Thanks this looks a much simpler Trucker Hitch than I was using and love the ability to hold the leverage.... nice !

learned the truckers hitch on the farm as a kid to tie down loads on trailers and trucks ... we mostly used the double truckers hitch to get more leverage ... not sure how your "auto" self tensioning would have worked on the 1/2 inch ropes we used in those days ... keep up the great work

This is awesome….. so much better than the hitch I’ve been using all these years… thanks for the video.

Looks like the recap was the first take. Excellent editing, excellent teaching technique. My only suggestion is to show the movement of the rope with a multicoloured weave or by drawing on the rope with marker.

Well done teaching the knot. Only needed to watch the video once and I tied the knot first try without reference.

That’s some badass knot tying!!!!!im about to get on Facebook marketplace to try to find me a filing cabinet!!

Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I’ve seen this knot.

This knot kind of reminds me of a sheep shank. Either way thanks for the video. I use a truckers hitch daily. This locking advantage will be very useful.

I love this video. I have been using the trucker’s hitch with the sheep shank variation so you don’t have to feed the whole line which saves tons of time. using that double loop sort of bow thing has proven to be very safe. Now I will add this locking mechanism at the last hitch i do. I love compounding these.

Learned this knot while living in Japan years ago .

I use this hitch every chance I get. It's just satisfying to be able to make a piece of string into something so powerful it can crush a 2x4 with very little strength

That's brilliant! That's going to come in handy next time I move my kid to college. Thank you so much.

Really cool and great for those who have the memory... My knots memory are of mono fishing line. Im staying with my ratchet straps that can distort the truck due to sheer mechanics

Amazing.. I have been looking for this one for a lifetime!

This knot system is amazing. Thank you for posting this video.

I commented on this video. He didn’t like my comment because I referenced another farm channel that showed the “lost” hand movements behind the traditional truckers knot that is the basis of his own variants. Fair enough. He is allowed. I am going to persist with this guy and subscribe because he has a lot of practical knot knowledge to share, anyways. The problem with learning knots from books is they often don’t show the hand movements. With all the variations of truckers hitch, the hands are key. He is a bit too fast sometimes but I just slow the video down and pause. These are good variants.

Excellent illustration. Thank you. I've got a rope out and am going to try this.

Exactly, the self-locking mechanism does not work well in high-friction rope. So, I don't use it all. I know one version of the Trucker Hitch that works in all ropes. It is better to know one version really well, rather than knowing a bunch of different versions for various type of ropes.

I love learning new useful knots. Just can’t seem to remember them the next time I need to use them

This is absolutely amazing. For somebody that knows how to do knots it is very easy to follow, there are only a few simple steps and works absolutely amazing. Thank you, was looking for one like this to tension a soft canvas

If you close your eyes, you'd think Steve Buscemi was giving this tutorial. Good vid!

cool knot - I have been using a timber hitch for the same function with zero jamming but I don't get the automatic ratchet feature which I think is pretty cool. I have seen a lot of different combination of knots called a truckers hitch. Being a knot head I will add your knot to my repertoire of knots.

100% sure I will get this right the first time. Looking forward to it.

Pretty clear and very helpful! Thank you 👌

Great explanation and demo. I use a truckers hitch and simply pass the working end through the loop twice. As you pull, the tension applies pressure to the first pass through piece of line. Pull up to release the tension. I use 2 half-hitches to ensure the knot does not slip. I use an alpine butterfly loop for the loop. The second pass should be along side the first pass rope, it will be obvious when you try it out. The auto-tension means you do not have to fiddle with pinching the rope as you add a securing knot. I forget which YT channel I learned this technique. Try it, it might be an option for some?

I am pretty sure you forgot to say you pass the working end around the second anchor a second time before going through the loop again. Just note, there may not be enough rope for that sometimes.

Thats is a true among hitch knot...i remember this time when i was helper on truck...

First, lower the tailgate and lay that filing cabinets down flat on its back. Second, run a ratchet strap across the tailgate. Done

Really works

I wish I had a time machine to take me back to 1983 when (as a lowly enlisted member of the military) I was tasked with transporting an Officers filing cabinet to a different building on our base. Long story short, it arrived at its destination dented and forever unusable after falling off the pickup into the middle of the road. Thankfully, my supervisors covered my butt, and decided that it was an honest mistake and not a case of "intensional destruction of government property".

Great demonstration. Careful not to crush the cabinet. This should be a must see for all canoe trippers and backwoods campers. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Knots are so beautiful

If you stick with your standard truckers hitch you did in the beginning, you could just run your working end through the loop again to make the same knot and it would be the same release

Actually you don’t need to have access to the end of the working line to run it through the loop twice as suggested. You can do it anywhere in the middle of the line too, be it 5 feet or 100 feet!

When I do a trucker's hitch I normally use paracord; I just loop it around the top loop once and when I pull on it the single wrap locks on itself and keeps tension. I'm not sure if its the qualities specific to the texture and stretch of paracord, but the trick doesn't seem to work on all rope. Masonry twine, for example, slips right out. Your method seems like a much more universal approach to that problem, and I will definitely try it on some other materials.

Hmmm...now about the dents you just made in the truck bed floor...🤣 Liked. Subscribed.

I learned this as the Carter’s hitch, shows how old it is

One of the most useful knots to know.

Looks like a hybrid of a sheep shank and a truckers! I have to try this out, amazing.
