That underhand loop to secure the running end to be used for others things is amazing! Ive just started using the Truckers Hitch for stuff and never really understood it. Your video is clear and simple. Thank you!
New hammock camper here. Been getting everything together to go on my maiden hammock camping trip in mid July to North West Arkansas. I have been watching all kinds of “How to Tie Knot Videos”. By far, you are the easiest to understand and follow step by step. Thank you for making this easy to follow video.
I didn't know you could make a bowline this way! Always made a bowline and used that loop to attach it to the tree with a slipknot. This is so much easier! Quick and to the point as well. Thank you so much.
I agree it's pretty cool but you can do the same thing tying the bowline conventionally. Make a "six" (a loop) in the standing part (just turn the standing end to make the loop), run the bight end around the tree, pass it up through the loop in the standing part, then run it around the standing part (left or right--it doesn't matter) and back down through loop. It's "the rabbit jumped out of the hole, ran around the tree, and jumped back down the hole" method, but the "tree" is the standing part and the loop that goes around the post is the bight end.
Very well presented. Most people screw up teaching knots and line work to degree you have to watch it half a dozen times to even get started trying it yourself. You were so clear, one viewing would teach a child! Thank you.
Long time ago, but this young lady did an excellent job explaining her knots, the bowline was very well laid out, and the slip knot with the keeper will come in handy for everyday use
New subscriber. Thank you! I'm going to practice this ASAP. I appreciate that you get right to the point and don't make us listen to five minutes of blah blah blah before getting to the demonstration.
The Bowline / Truckers Hitch is SUCH an effective combination. Easy to learn, easy to set up fast, and not to be overshadowed... easy to disassemble when done!
Now i'm really happy about RUclips. You did this video 5 years ago and today I learned from you I have watched several other videos for this hitch Your version is by far the easiest and the fastest to do. Also your version of the bowline is very cool!
Knew about the trucker's hitch, but thanks for that stick idea. All these years and I never thought of that one. Then when I saw you do it I about facepalmed myself unconscious because it was so simple. Also making the bowline that way was new to me too. Thanks.
Wow... I learned both knots as a scout and now I am a scoutmaster... Like so many other comments, my mind is blown with the Bowline. So simple it makes me ashamed to admit it..lol. From this point on, no more "rabbit around the tree ". This will be how it is taught... thank you
Ah! Bless you! When I teach knots I ask if any of the folks know the bowline or remember something about a rabbit and a tree. If they don't or seem shaky, I teach it this way instead. Some still prefer what I call the "boy scout" way of learning/doing it, though I call it a snake, not a rabbit! I think for those that really struggle with knots it still has merit! I've been tying it this way for almost 30 years now and definitely prefer it over the traditional method. I'm happy to spread the magic. I recently heard a great name for it: the "snap" bowline.

agree - trying to find the knot my father-in-law used. Almost 50 years old and mind blown. Love this video being fun and to the point - and her smile IS contagious too!
I've used these knots for years. The hard way, until today. edit: Seriously, this video is exceptional. Anyone new (or old) to knots should be right here. Many thanks, and Blue Skies to ya!
I've watched this video damn near a dozen times in the past week. Your bowline, halter and truckers are the best explained and best methods I've seen. Hardly any reason to tie a bowline the old fashioned way. Boyscouts done me wrong. Thanks for this one. Can tie these your way in a quarter the time it used to take me.
I'm so glad you like it! Boy scouts are doing their best, and at least it gets folks out there and playing! Perhaps you can take this method back to them and spread the love! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
You make the knots clear for beginners.I am getting more confident with tying bowlin and hitches because of you teaching skills.Keep up the great work.
I did not know this way of tying bowline. Was impressed. Overhand also fit to fix the loop. Nice teacher. Very clear, very useful. By the way, English for me - foreign language, but I understood almost all words. Very proud.
Oh my! I have watched so many videos about this just so I could hang a short clothes line between two posts and the directions were always so confusing. The line seemed tight till I tried to hang something on it. The tightness was done by pinching fingers and pushing or pulling the line taught ....in any case. I’m in my mid 70’s. My fingers aren’t doing that. Then I saw your video with the pulley. Wow. I just hung two short lines in my yard and the sheets aren’t touching the ground! And it was simple....not “over this way and under that way and around and through”....whew! Women just make it easy. Thanks so much.
This is a wealth of highly useful knot & tarp skills. You did such an excellent job of teaching it too. Thank you. This should be a training resource for hundreds of years.
@@dirtyslag2612 and Robert, you are both spot on! I mostly taught folks that didn't want to learn for the first 25 years or so (in the military at SERE school and in wilderness therapy) and now get to teach those that do. It makes a world of difference! Thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I like her method a lot, but I use a one-handed method to tie bowlines that blows that away. There are a lot of ways to tie the same knot, so everyone can have choices.
One of the BEST tutorials I have seen on RUclips. Got my subscription. Thank God for Solar powered battery packs & an iPhone so I watch more from the discomfort of my shelter I just learnt how to put up :)
Jessie,I watched (and saved 😊) this video before and am watching it again. I've come to the thought that I would LOVE to spend a day with you just to pick your brain and learn from you! Keep up the great work
Thanks Guy! I have a school I run out of Denver but tend to flit around the country teaching. You can find the classes on my website: www.seretraining.us and also subscribe to my newsletter that outlines other ways to connect and places to find me teaching during the year. I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
When I learned the Trucker's Hitch years ago, it was a revelation! Securing the hitch I've always used half hitches. I really like your method of securing the knot! Thanks.
I have been hammock/tarp camping for like 15 years... Was using a bowline and a tautline hitch... you just cut my set up and tear down time in 1/3rd I'm pretty sure. That variation of the bowline, the trucker's hitch, and the trick with the stick.... are all amazing.
I've learned to use that trucker's hitch while in the Army. I didn't know what it was called, I just played with 550 cord until I found something that worked. Your video made it WAY easier for me to make a slip knot though, in the middle of the line, and the saftey knot to keep it secure is awesome. Thanks!!!😊
I am not quite sure why ,but I have watched so many knot tying videos my head is spinning .I do alot of hauling and trailering and general firewood processing and never really stopped to learn how to tie proper easy to release knots. I always had access to chains,ratchet straps and other mechanical devices so I just ignored learning good tying ! Your video just made it so simple to follow your knots,it seemed like too easy ! Other videos complicate what should be a very simple task ,as you have shown here . Thanks so much .You should be a teacher because you have a gift of getting your point across.
I was taught that knot she just did many years ago, but we never knew the name of it. The only difference was that we did not make the first loop a 'slip' like she did. I think I'd like the 'slip' knot better as after we were done cinching ladders and pump jacks to the top of the contractor's work trailer, we'd have a heck of a time getting that loop out of the rope! I don't know why this was in my suggested section, but glad it was. Thanks for this great video!
Glad you liked it! You can put a couple more twists in the slip loop before pulling it through as a modification which makes it even easier to undo when taking it down. I really like the versatility of the trucker's hitch. There are so many ways to modify it for various uses and still get the 3:1 or more mechanical advantage. Happy tying!
I like it! The loops through the grommets with the sticks was awesome. I had to rewind that first knot that magically became a bowline three times! It was like a magic trick. Thanks, you are cool. First time here.
Clearly explained how to tie a slip knot and not a truckers hitch. This is just plain BS ! Search around. Slip knots on a heavy load ties up. That's why you don't use a slip knot as a truckers hitch.
@@mapo5976 Dude...relax. You need to follow along. It's a truckers hitch and it won't bind up under stress. Watch what she does to prevent that from happening.
@@treydrier3169 I'm relaxed.😖 Lol. I used to use a slip knot as a truckers hitch. Until I had to destroy my rope because of bound knots. (Because I listened and followed blindly videos like this) Under heavy tightening. Super load stresses....tied in this way *will bind* . Guaranteed ! This is not a correct way to tie this knot. Light loads... maybe. But then don't call it a truckers hitch. There are better knots that are quick release, non slip than this "one size fits all slip knot"
God bless you lady I have been wanting to know this stuff for years but life happens and it gets my knots get passed over thank you so much words don't come to me to express my excitement my thankfulness and I will use this you have given me a gift thank you for sharing
There is so much content out there about people living off the land, or 7 nights alone in the Canadian wilderness but it's more vlog/diary style. I want to see how these things are done and this video alone is almost all you would need for a tarp shelter. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, FANTASTIC video demonstration. I usually use figure 9 carabiners, but with this video I can get rid of them and just use the rope! Thanks so much. I’ll be sharing this video for years to all my hiker/backpacker friends!
Awesome instructional video. I have been doing the truckers tension loop knot thing to secure stuff in a truck for a long time, but was doing it wrong. it worked, but didn't come apart easy. Thanks! and PS, 23,000 likes is great, the 800 some people that took the time to hit thumbs down, I pray for you to find a life. This is 100% positive energy and good information here. thanks The Prepared! Peace
I agree who can thumb down a knot tying session. Once learned the truckers hitch can be remembered. I use it more often than ratchet straps for most load tiedowns. Pulling on a TH you can pull a rope in two before the knot will ever give way and still it disassembles very easily. A good tie knot has no hard knots
Genius. Easiest bowline I've ever seen. Trucker's hitch clearly explained and using toggles to peg out tarp very clever. I usually use shock cord prussic loops. This is a nice minimal way of doing things. Thanks from the UK.
Great video. I use similar knots when setting up my tarp using trekking poles. Simple knots equal quick set ups and take downs which are especially appreciated in rainy or windy conditions.
WAOH. Im watching you on Alone seaon 9 right now!! I saw this video way back when it first came out, now its June 2002. I still refer people to this video. Congratulations Good luck I love your channel! Stay gold.
That underhand loop to secure the running end to be used for others things is amazing! Ive just started using the Truckers Hitch for stuff and never really understood it. Your video is clear and simple. Thank you!

Ive been a rope Rescuer for years and have never seen a bowline made like that. You are on another level
Tying knots is like works of art.

It's "the rabbit jumped out of the hole, ran around the tree, and jumped back down the hole" method, but the "tree" is the standing part and the loop that goes around the post is the bight end.
Ever tried an Evenk hitch?
That's not a bowline knot.
Try to untie that knot after you cinched down on it.
Really great teacher on doing the knots. She makes it logical to remember how to do the knot.
That is one of the best truckers hitch videos on youtube. Very concise an easy to follow.
Very well presented. Most people screw up teaching knots and line work to degree you have to watch it half a dozen times to even get started trying it yourself. You were so clear, one viewing would teach a child! Thank you.

Best truckers hitch video I've observed. I'm a beginner with knots and learning fast... Thanks!

Thanks! It's one of my favorites as well.
Thank you for coming back.
Thanks. You have no idea how much I use it. You did a simple, clear explanation. Bravo!

Agree. The smile is definately the topping.
Oddly satisfying. Thanks for posting.
You helped me understand the truckers hitch better. Thanks.
Hands down the easiest to understand video on these knots that I seen great job thank you.
If you put line twice in the loop for hitch it holds itself and you don’t need to pinch line to make loops. Best video I’ve seen
Thanks! Yes, what you describe can be an excellent modification especially if I have an injured arm/hand or reduced hand strength for any reason!
I've used these knots for years. The hard way, until today.

Holy crap, all these years I've been making bowlines the hard way, now I see this. :)
Yes! Feels pretty foolish doesn't it..
This is a variant of the hand loop way of tying a bowline. Once you see it, nothing is the same again. :-)
Me watching yet another video with a bowline knot... "WAIT WHAT DID SHE JUST DO?!" lol
This variant is used to tie a boat to a Ballard. The knot I basically formed before coming the dock.
I like her method a lot, but I use a one-handed method to tie bowlines that blows that away. There are a lot of ways to tie the same knot, so everyone can have choices.

i envy people that can remember how to tie various knots. i have purchased books on knots...i've watched videos....i suck. what a useful skill.
Tying knots is good, however making a good splice is equally as important.
The double secure at the finish is what makes this more than magical, thanks u.
Excellent tutorial,and your lovely , enthusiastic personality makes it all the more enjoyable 👍👍
Amazing how clear you were and very detailed. Thank you for doing this tutorial.
I've been using the truckers hitch for years but you showed me a couple of improvements over what I've been doing. Thanks!

Best demonstration of truckers hitch I've seen so far, very clear, easy to understand and to repeat demonstration
I use the truckers hitch all the time ,it's an incredible knot if you add more loops you could snap the line ! Thanks for the additional tips😎
Sure is! Incredible the power you can get out of it! My pleasure!
Thanks for the halter hitch idea. Ive been having trouble tying off the truckers hitches

Awesome instructional video. I have been doing the truckers tension loop knot thing to secure stuff in a truck for a long time, but was doing it wrong. it worked, but didn't come apart easy. Thanks! and PS, 23,000 likes is great, the 800 some people that took the time to hit thumbs down, I pray for you to find a life. This is 100% positive energy and good information here. thanks The Prepared! Peace
I agree who can thumb down a knot tying session. Once learned the truckers hitch can be remembered. I use it more often than ratchet straps for most load tiedowns. Pulling on a TH you can pull a rope in two before the knot will ever give way and still it disassembles very easily. A good tie knot has no hard knots
Genius. Easiest bowline I've ever seen. Trucker's hitch clearly explained and using toggles to peg out tarp very clever. I usually use shock cord prussic loops. This is a nice minimal way of doing things. Thanks from the UK.
Great video. I use similar knots when setting up my tarp using trekking poles. Simple knots equal quick set ups and take downs which are especially appreciated in rainy or windy conditions.
I've watched many videos describing the bowline and truckers hitch and just could not get it. But now I do. Thank you!
Simple. Clear. Effective. Thus, excellent!
