Here is a version of the trucker’s hitch that turns your rope into a ratchet strap. If you prefer knot videos, please leave a comment. Subscribe if you are to be so kind. Thanks!
My past video shows me threading the free-end of the rope through a tied-in loop. That would be inconvenient here because of the long length of rope. This version lets you tie the hitch without having to find the end of your rope and pulling it all the way through your loop. #knots #paracord #rope

After watching this video 6 or 7 times, I finally get the trick to this knot. The trick is to always remember to carry ratchet straps in your vehicle!

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!

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!

@anthonyesposito7 Жыл бұрын

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 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)

@malcolmhodgen1767 2 жыл бұрын

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 3 жыл бұрын

No problem! You misread my comment. I said it tends to bind, not un bind. What I mean is that as you pull the loop through, it pinches at the end and is a pain in the butt to pull through all the way.

@sterlinghamiltonracing6487 3 жыл бұрын

@@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 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.
