    Far and away the best explanation of the trucker's hitch I've ever seen! Well done!

    I like that you use a twist for the first loop. This is exactly how I remember truckers tying down loads of bushel boxes when I was a child. It ensures that the loop never jams under load like some of the alternatives where a loop is tied in the standing part. I used to use this to secure my Canadian canoe on the roof of my car, across and front and back. It always stayed taught but just fell apart when the tension was released.

    I have watched SO many videos and not been able to figure this out. Until now! Thank you for this amazing video!!

    Thanks! This is the first time I've seen the extra loop! I'll be trying that in the morning before we head out!

    That first loop you made is not a truckers hitch, it's a slip knot. The truckers hitch consists of the slipknot (which you did first) and the hemp knot which you did second.

    FYI half hitch = overhand knot. Took me a while to figure that out

    I meant to ask how you set up your hood anchors? Most folks use webbing but I noticed you used 6 mm line…how did you anchor the ends under the hood? Thanks!

    • @EbsAdventure

      @boatman222345 we usually use webbed hood loops, either attached to a section of PVC pipe that tucks under an edge or with a grommet that attaches to an existing bolt on the frame. On this vehicle we simply have a short rope loop that wraps around something metal under the hood.

    I’m just wondering about what you use to secure the other end of the canoe

    • @EbsAdventure

      Hey Seth we simply use rope to a hitch or metal tie-down point at the back, again the Trucker's hitch comes in handy here. If there's no tie-down point back there you can use a hood loop (pvc pipe piece attached to a webbing loop) under the hood/hatch to create a tie-down point.

    Better with more twists in the loop!

    How is the other side of the rope attached on the other side of the vehicle hood?

    • @EbsAdventure

      Hi Bart, thanks for the question. You can see how we do that in our companion video "How to tie a canoe onto your car", where we use the Prusik Hitch on the canoe and then tie both loose ends to the vehicle hood loops using Truckers Hitches. You can also simply tie it to the loop on the other side with a bowline knot.

      EbsAdventure makes sense! Thanks for the quick reply

    What knot did you use to tie the first end to the canoe handle?

    • @EbsAdventure
      @EbsAdventure  3 года назад

      We use the Prusik hitch to tie the rope to the canoe handle. See our companion video: ruclips.net/video/P8UblJcLAm8/видео.html

    what kind of a rope is that?

    • @EbsAdventure
      @EbsAdventure  2 года назад +1

      It's a 1/4" yacht braid. Low stretch, high strength polyester double braid. Holds knots and is slightly stretchy under load, easy to work with. We've used it for decades.
