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

![The Trucker's Hitch...But Better. [Auto-Locking]](/img/1.gif)
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!
Brilliant 😂
Yeah I found this useless. After he does the coils and says to anchor it and then skips over says step....
Or get a removal company 👍
Spit my coffee out 🤣. Such an easy trick to implement! Thanks for the tip.
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!
Well said mate!
i appreciate you are using this platform well and hope to follow it!
this is a weaker knot than the standard truckers hitch. Should do the trick on lighter loads though.
... yeah probably the same one I'm thinking of mate, I use something that does the same job but it's totally different it's almost similar to the standard trucker's hitch but you just poke the line and different through the bite then it grabs and holds it,
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 like the sound of your Dad. I feel he must have been a good man. I'm sorry he's no longer with you Tim.
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.
Doing these things is easy but coming up with these ideas is what impresses me!
Yeah.. always takes me awhile to figure it out.
I needed a small custom sized net to hold a cylinder, so learned net making yesterday...
With this knot, it won't be going anywhere... Now to rewatch and practice 5-10 times..
@@laaaliiiluuu It was needed at some point in time. Imagine an entire village wanting to tie up their hunt without it falling down etc.
It takes practice. I've been tying for a few weeks and the basics are slowly starting to become intuitive.
It's like practicing an instrument. No matter your ability, you can git gud with a little patience and dedication.
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.
Skip to 5:14 when he does a recap, the first 5 minutes is confusing. Great looking hitch am curious to try it!
THIS. DO THIS! I was confused until i went to 5:14.
Genius, always hated tying the TH off under tension. This is a revelation, thank you for sharing👍
This is by far the best trucker hitch on the entire Internet.
Thanks for telling us about this awesome knot. I’ll teach it to the Scouts this summer during camp. I’m sure they will enjoy it immensely!
Learned this knot while living in Japan years ago .
Tried this knot a couple times after watching and so far it seems to work exceptionally well. It’s very satisfying being able to keep the tension with each tug. Greatly appreciated, sir! Thank you for sharing!
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)
As a rock climber I love these tips and tricks. They can come in handy in many situations.
I wouldn't be using any knot Rock climbing.
Very important to understand how much a knot weakens the rope.
@@Robert-cu9bm correct, any responsible climber takes that into account. But you don’t only need life lines in rock climbing 😉
Brilliant!!! I love that this is done completely "in-line", unlike the other "truckers hitch" that I am more accustomed to. Thank you for this demonstration, sir!
Great set of knots. I really like the way you break this down in different steps and angles. You have the heart of a true teacher.
😂😂😂
Thank you, Steve Buscemi’s voice.
Snapping the tightened rope is good, but I wanted to see you grab the filing cabinet and rock the entire truck with it. This is what I do to test my pick-up tie-downs. You know what they say, "If you don't know how to tie knots, tie lots of them!" Cheers from Texas
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.
In my area it is about 2 ratchet straps to 1 black rubber bungee
I learned this as the Carter’s hitch, shows how old it is
The trucker's hitch is the best thing since the bowline. But after seeing this video, I wonder if my bowlines have just been granny knots all this time, because this is high-def and my trucker's hitch is black and white!
By far the more simple way ever to explain how to do it THANKS!!!!
This knot is fantastic!!
My God! You are a genius😮
I was confused with the editing but thanks for fully explaining at the end
Thank you for taking the time to come in. I would love to know how I can improve to make things easier to understand.
@@First_Class_Amateur if you will allow me to provide feedback,
I think if you stated the video with a brief overview (the knot, what you had was good).
Next, break down your tutorial starting at the slowest speed. Long pauses between each movement.
Then as the video progresses, speed it up.
Finally showing the conclusion which was your recap.
You had the right content, but in a jumbled order.
Nonetheless, I appreciated your video.
Never seen this knot before but saving the video and plan on giving it a try.
As a backpacker who prefers a tarp shelter, this looks like a great way to get a nice tight ridgeline. Thanks!
A truckers hits is better look up corporals corner modified truckies hitch
But a truckers hitch involves a slip knot, which can bind on its own loop as you pull the knot out. Other knots (butterfly, for example) are a bit more complicated. What makes the truckers hitch better?
@@DaibheadSeamas not sure what u mean by" it can un bined on its own loop as you pull the knot out " ik what un bining is I just don't know what u mean by that hear but I personaly have put 450lbs on a truckers hitch Ridgeline and it has never came un done when using the modified truckies hitch by corprals courner to get the weight off the grounds so ik it is strong and won't come un done and very simaler to this when u pull the other way it losens up to undo the load
But if u could explain what u ment by it will un bind when u pull out the knot I might be able to explain why it's better
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.
@@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.
Well I've watched for the 5th time tonight and can finally do it with Paracord across the arms of a chair! Im willing to bet a paycheck tomorrow morning I want remember and the next time I need it I'll be going back to this video since I saved it 😂
I had no idea that Steve Buscemi knew his knots! Excellent instructional video!
I'm back to watch again because I'm just THAT gd impressed
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.
You should write a 21st century of Ashley Book of Knots.
I love learning new useful knots. Just can’t seem to remember them the next time I need to use them
Ultimate truckers hitch knot!!!
I have seen a lot of regular and automatic truckers hitch versions, but this seems to be working the best, thank you!
I cannot even figure out ratchet straps but I will certainly give this knot a try! Thanks for the video!
Ratchet straps aint hard to use. Just leave them tangled up with every use. Take the time straighten them out and they will be much easier to use.
Awesome knot!! Now I only need a truck...
I've done Trucker's Hitches all my life.
By far this is the Best One,
I have ever seen and experienced.
You explained it Well and your Video was Spot on.
Thanks for Sharing your Technique with America and the World Beyond, Great Job.
I love knots.
Saving this. Seeing something done and explained so simply makes me feel gooftarded.
Well done teaching the knot. Only needed to watch the video once and I tied the knot first try without reference.
This is great. I love your videos. Everyday, I secure packages in my promaster for delivery. I love how i don't have to pull my entire cord through the eye. Also, you showed me a different way to set up my impossible shackle. ❤
Awesome way of adjusting your rope. I practiced it for my next camping trip, works extremely well. Thank you!
Loved learning this knot. Will use it to batten down more tightly my kayak to the bed of my pick up truck!
Nice! If you try to show the steps slowly, like to someone that has no idea about this knots, it will be very useful .
There is playback speed adjustable settings
I was thinking exactly the same thing.Slow it down and give instructions...don't just run through it at your own speed !
... I LEARNED THESE KNOTS WHEN I TRAVELLED WITH THE FAIRGROUND IN THE LATE 1980s.. CHEERS ALOT ,,, 🎡
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.
This looks like the same cabinet that flew through my window on the freeway...
Haha just kidding can't wait try this out.
That’s some badass knot tying!!!!!im about to get on Facebook marketplace to try to find me a filing cabinet!!
Nice, I just got it to work! It's like a magic trick. I will practice more so I can pass it on, this is a gift gratefully received.
Everyone in the Home Depot parking lot will be super impressed when you pull this one out. 😁
Knots are so beautiful
This is a sick knot.
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.
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
Issues a GOOD MAN ticket TO you sir!
Amazing.. I have been looking for this one for a lifetime!
I see all kinds of truckers knots but this one is really unique getting it undone with out all the hassle and all the advantages of a racket like tie downs clever indeed going to study this and use it looks like its will be my favorite 😀
Figure 9 tensioners are amazing.
I,m a knot man and this is new to me. Thank You!,
Excellent illustration. Thank you. I've got a rope out and am going to try this.
Thats is a true among hitch knot...i remember this time when i was helper on truck...
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.
27 year tug captain here. I know ton of knots. Never seen that one before! Well done! The first purpose of a knot is to untie it...and you got that covered!
If i might ask a favour, could you offer up a few knots that hold under high tension, but remain easy to undo once youre done? Im thinking along the lines of basics like a loop, anchoring one end to something, joining two pieces of rope etc
@@ciarangale4738
A taughtline hitch.
Still, a good marlinspike and fidd are important.
This video inspired me to fix my dining table. I ducked taped the leg back on.
A hammer, vice grips, flathead screwdriver and duct tape is all a handyman needs to fix anything.
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!
Knots are so satisfying. This in not the version I use, but I like it.
I tried this with a similar rope but possibly made of polyester rather than nylon. It had too much friction and did not slip as I tried to tighten the rope. I will try it again with a nylon rope. Thanks for sharing the video.
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.
This knot system is amazing. Thank you for posting this 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.
If you close your eyes, you'd think Steve Buscemi was giving this tutorial. Good vid!
Knots are so easy, the video shows it, simple Technik.
But it's hard to remember when you need it.
This is awesome….. so much better than the hitch I’ve been using all these years… thanks for the video.
I have been tying truckers' hitches for thirty years, at least. I teach knots to stagehands, and have been teaching truckers' hitches for the last fifteen, at least, in my class.
Today I was a student.
Tomorrow, I teach this knot as my truckers' hitch.
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.
Learnt more than my own dads ever taught me hahaha thanks daddy ropes 😂❤
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
First, lower the tailgate and lay that filing cabinets down flat on its back. Second, run a ratchet strap across the tailgate. Done
cool version. gonna try it today
well, well, well... i thought i'd seen every variation of this knot! turns out this last one is the one i like the most. thanks for sharing!
1:49 is the second step.
Thanks. Been doing this everyday. Dont why. Keep it up!
Thank you for pointing this out! I was really confused what I was missing with his explanation hahaha. Now I get it!
Really works
Very interesting, can't wait to practice this a bunch and try to commit it to memory. Thanks for the video.
One of the most useful knots to know.
Thanks for the progress capture idea. Intelligent idea.
Thanks this looks a much simpler Trucker Hitch than I was using and love the ability to hold the leverage.... nice !
At first watch it looked complicated and I watched it again and (with sound). This is very interesting to see. I will be watching this until I learn to tie it. It seems to be a very dependable and useful knot. Thanks
Nice instruction and good knowledge, thanks
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.
Almost reminds me of a munter on a trucker. I usually use a marlinspike hitch for my truckers, but I want to try this lark’s head now. Thanks for sharing.
Pretty clear and very helpful! Thank you 👌
That's brilliant! That's going to come in handy next time I move my kid to college. Thank you so much.
Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I’ve seen this knot.
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
I've been doing this hitch for 20 years and I have to say, this looks superior for doing a truckers hitch with longer line: I don't have to run a whole 50 foot line through a loop.
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!
Thank You for taking the time to teach me this!
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
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.
THE BEST KNOT FOR THAT JUST DAME IT FLAT THE CABINET DOWN
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.
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
Thank God for RUclips. I don’t use rope enough to remember knots well but as long as I have my phone and remember this video...😄 thanks for the tutorial
Keep it going
Always finish with a couple of half hitches….. Awesome
You are a master... knot!!!
a bite through a Lark's head is genous.
