I got a lot of comments on my last video asking why 2 carabiners were needed. Here is more information about it. I got my blue climbing carabiners from REI, but you can also use cheap ones from Lowe's.

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.

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.

@davetooes6179 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

*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’ve used the same tiny cheap ones for my keys for years. Recently someone had left behind some unused mordantly priced ones, that were of various sizes. So, I decided to put them to use... went through 9 in one week. Couldn’t believe how cheap they were made.

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.

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

@@bikeybikebike It's been a bit since I've done rescue training, but as I recall the Garda has a fair bit of friction and is a bit of a workout to pull on. This truckers hitch looks easier to tension and release, but it's obviously not intended for protecting people.

@bikeybikebike 2 жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.
