I get this. But also, it’s unrealistic to expect to just remember a knot based off watching a video. If you think this could be useful, you need to sit down and do it several times, that’s how you actually learn it. And then have something like this (or another person that knows) as a reference when you need to use it in the real world for the first time
This guy helps prove there can be beauty in almost any honest endeavor. That is simply a beautiful knot. Relatively simple. Works beautifully. However, I will not be able to remember this knot in the future when I could really use it. But I will recall that there was some guy on the internet showing this beautiful knot that I cannot, for the life of me, remember.
Its the best way to tie stuff like hay bales. I learned it when i was using it every day and have now forgotten how it goes. Everything in life is practice
The first time I learned this knot and the clove hitch were like magic to me, I found both to be incredibly useful and it just blew my mind to see rope behave like a proper tool.
There you go..and I live under the delusion that all the great knots were invented by sailors ( which , of course , include alot of the Dutch as well..)
I’ve seen a few of these demonstrations or instructional videos on truckers hutches and this is the simplest, most straightforward and effective method of teaching this knot. I was amazed because I was able to follow the process and I just woke up from a sound sleep. Thank you for helping me to finally understand this most important knot.
Truckers hitch is a double surgeon loop and the tail comes down to the cleat and back up through the loop . Then tension . The reason why it’s a double surgeon is it never fully tightens and can be pulled apart. Just the same as a highwayman’s hitch , most get that wrong too
My old man taught me this as a kid, never forgotten it, on the rare occasion when I use it people are generally impressed, you can even repeat the knot again for even more tension. This and my shoe laces have got me through life ok
Almost brings a tear to my eye seeing someone with knowledge. Makes it fall, effortlessly, when that person shares it directly, effectively, and kindly.
Guy loaded a mattress on my roof and used this technique and I was just so impressed by how simple and effective it was. Have used it ever since because it's just very practical.
Saw it on an app while up in alaska. Applied it to tying down snow chains to military vehicles. Holy heck did it make a difference. I always teach my soldiers this tie down as it can be used for pretty much anything.

In his awed tone I gathered two phenomena. 1. His mind is blown by the coolness 2. He realized that he doesn’t remember the steps and is embarrassed to ask again.
I worked 2 years for a landscaping company and the guys from Mexico showed me the trick 100 times and I still don’t know how to do it 🙄 they make it look so easy.
I guess everyone’s different I spent maybe 2 months at my job before I had this down pat it’s really not hard at all once you know how it’s honestly easy to do it with your eyes closed 🤣
It’s really easy, you don’t need to do it like this guy. He makes the loop, and you just need to wrap the loop into a knot and put the rope through the loop you made. You don’t need to make two loops like he did.
The simplest way to do it is to use a slip knot ("simple noose" is another name) and use that as the loop instead of doing most of what's shown here. (I think that's what the last comment is describing too.) (I think the reason for doing it this way might be that it's a little easier on the rope and I'll bet it falls apart immediately when you pull on the end as you're untying it. A slip knot will need a strong tug to untie itself after being used for this.) I can't believe I haven't even been putting both legs of the long loop through the initial one so it all unties itself. I guess all the books and demos prioritize being able to tie it around something at the end if there's no hook, so I never saw the best way before.
@@avokes6919 and yeah, did you know that some people can't visualize things in their heads? (Or conversely, that some people can?) I've even talked to at least one artist who can't. The variation in how people think is amazing.
A different method than what I learned. One that's compatible with an open hook. The way I learned can be used on open hook and closed loop tiedowns. The nice thing about a truckers hitch is that when you release it, it comes apart completely. Not leaving a hatchet knot in the middle of the rope.
My old Scottish Grandfather was a merchant sailor for many years, and he would always teach me to tie knots, gave me a quarter for every one I remembered !
I've heard it called Trucker's hitch, wagoners hitch, shortener hitch, and here in Australia it's truckies hitch. I've used it thousands of times to tie loads on a truck, strain fences, move loads, even used multiple hitches in series to multiply the power and pulled a vehicle out of a bog. Great rope knot. Many ways to tie it.
I’ve used a truckers knot forever, never lost anything yet. I tie a different way though, I just twist the loop 2 times instead of wrapping it. I actually warped a washer and dryer with the knot !!!
No matter if there’s an easier way like a ratchet strap or where the organs of this tie descended from If u can learn it I promise u. It Will come in handy. When u need it
Most ratchet straps have very small safe working load ratings compared with easily used Nylon or Dacron lines. I’ve seen very heavy or bulky loads “secured” with the tiny made in China 1” ratchet straps! The stitches on the terminations alone don’t even resemble military grade or commercial genuine load rated ratchet straps. I certainly wouldn’t tie-down my Harley with those toy straps!
I swear to my mother that I discovered this knot a few months ago on my own 😂😂, I never knew about these things but, as I was always pulling things with the pick up I ended up discovering this knot. There is nothing that awakens man's creativity and imagination more than necessity.
Was called a dolly when I was taught this. Also used a double dolly on a few occasions. If you do one far enough up the rope there’s enough room for an additional one. Meaning you are using one dolly to tighten the first.
When i worked offshore we have a knot called the heaving line knot which is half a hangmans knot. I was showing some people in AB class, and was told that it's an "offensive knot"... 😒 ok dude...
One knot you have to have in your quiver, the truckers hitch is one of the best ways to hold down a load. I showed a couple of guys this and they thought I was a god. Too funny
I learned this knot when I was a kid when putting cross ropes on our stack of hay or straw. My family has hauled hay and straw to horse farmers for generations.
This is the type of stuff I passed on to my son. Just regular everyday, functional skills. My uncle showed me a variation of this. My son's step-father was a tile setter flooring guy. He also did grouting, back splashes, showers, etc. A really gifted guy. My son says that he appreciates both of us and uses some skill one of us taught him almost everyday. After some initial tension his step-dad and I found we had way more in common than differences. We didn't bar-b-cue, but I feel blessed we had an good, mutual impact on my son's life.
I learned this and other drivers variations of this knot, extremely useful when tieing and releasing...I learned when I was old enough to unload the trucks with the forklifts, one comment said they don't remember! I do because it's multiple trucks in and going out, now I have adult children i learned my sons how to tie down tarps and anything else when going for weekend of fishing, now 1 has a boat he's learning me different knots..full circle!!
These are incredibly strong knots and easy once you've learnt them. So strong that you can actually bend the steel rods that you attach the rope to. Unfortunately ropes are banned in the trucking industry in Australia now, by law you need to use ratchet straps. I've seen many failed ratchet straps lying on the roads, in my opinion the ropes, if they're in good condition, were stronger, and if tied properly, never failed. I've been driving for forty years and have not had one rope fail.
@@ragnarokstravius2074 I'm not exactly sure, from what I understand (which is usually very little), there were a few numpties using old and frayed ropes. Any real trucker knows that if your load isn't secure, neither is your payslip. I've always used good ropes in the past, and not once have I lost any part of a load. As I said earlier, if you know how to tie the trucker's hitch knot properly, and your using a good rope, you can bend 3/4 inch steel tie bar easily. And it's really not a difficult knot to learn. So, because of a few cowboys in the industry, we all are required by transport law to use ratchet straps. And I've seen plenty of those let go, broken straps lying on the road, some with the ratchet gear attached still, just waiting to cause an accident, not to mention the now unsecured load. Bureaucracy in the industry in this country is ridiculous, we have people in management positions in the overseeing body that have never set foot in a truck, let alone actually knowing how to drive one. And therein lies the problem, people that have no clue running the transport industry from behind a desk, not behind the wheel.
Yeah, I've been shocked at the truckers they've been pushing it of driving schools. They can't even back up their own rig. They circle around until a large enough space opens up and they get the balls to back in.
You just can not beat experience! And if you can slow down enough to hear them, any person you run across can and will teach you something. From the big corporate guy to the drunk on the sidewalk to anyone else you meet---- you can learn something from them if you just listen and think a bit about what they are telling you. I try to learn something from every person I spend more than 20 minutes with. I am an accumulation of everyone I've ever met. Esp after I grew up enough to know what a wonderful resource other people are, that everyone is a teacher with a story to tell.
@@midsequence1234 always some troll somewhere huh. Actually it is a knot. A compound knot. And it’s been called other names of knots as well. Try looking it up instead of being a troll trying to be a knot (know) it all
Don't have to look it up. Try looking up SPRAT and IRATA. While you do that I'll continue to successfully "troll" these 3,4,&500 foot structures utilizing Rope Access certifications I've held for 5 years. Its gonna be troll-tastic 🖕🏽😋
A Dolly in the UK , dying out like the manual gearbox , remember the Eaton twin splitter ? Most truckers wouldn't get out of the yard nowadays (just the old guys eh ?) Lol.
The main component it's the "bite",, the loop he feeds the tail end through. You can make a bite in a knot or a hitch it'd serve the same purpose. The difference is the bite is "load bearing" but because the bite is created from a hitch, the hitch will undress itself as soon as the weight comes off the bite. If you use a knot with a bite the knot will be harder to undress the more weight you put on the bite. Figure of 8, figure of 9, alpine butterfly, doesn't matter what kind of knot as long as it has a bite you can do this. Word of the day is "bite".

I learned this and other drivers variations of this knot, extremely useful when tieing and releasing...I learned when I was old enough to unload the trucks with the forklifts, one comment said they don't remember! I do because it's multiple trucks in and going out, now I have adult children i learned my sons how to tie down tarps and anything else when going for weekend of fishing, now 1 has a boat he's learning me different knots..full circle!!
Here in Brazil we call that a "carioca". Being able to make one might be one of my proudest flexes...
I still can’t tie knots like my dad,
He’s showed me probably over 100 times 😂
I’m 38
I've watched so many of these, and I still don't remember how when I needed it.
I'll never remember this when I need it 😭😬
Learn it by song from Ylvis heh
Lol, He's like, master please teach us the way of the rope... "Oh my god!" 😆
Dude says “Oh my God” like he just witnessed a miracle. It’s only a knot
Love the accent when he first says “K..Put your hand right here…”
Dad has shown this to me at least a 1000 times, knots are not my thing
Thanks I like and sub. The absolute best thing about RUclips is helpful and useful info like this that improves the quality of life immediately.
These are incredibly strong knots and easy once you've learnt them. So strong that you can actually bend the steel rods that you attach the rope to. Unfortunately ropes are banned in the trucking industry in Australia now, by law you need to use ratchet straps. I've seen many failed ratchet straps lying on the roads, in my opinion the ropes, if they're in good condition, were stronger, and if tied properly, never failed. I've been driving for forty years and have not had one rope fail.
I am from colombia and I want to work in Australia, can you help me?
@@JhonLouderxD Bad timing, I'm afraid my friend. I doubt whether there's very many jobs available at this time, covid virus has put many out of work.
Uh, why did Australia ban ropes in the trucking industry?
@@ragnarokstravius2074 I'm not exactly sure, from what I understand (which is usually very little), there were a few numpties using old and frayed ropes. Any real trucker knows that if your load isn't secure, neither is your payslip. I've always used good ropes in the past, and not once have I lost any part of a load. As I said earlier, if you know how to tie the trucker's hitch knot properly, and your using a good rope, you can bend 3/4 inch steel tie bar easily. And it's really not a difficult knot to learn. So, because of a few cowboys in the industry, we all are required by transport law to use ratchet straps. And I've seen plenty of those let go, broken straps lying on the road, some with the ratchet gear attached still, just waiting to cause an accident, not to mention the now unsecured load. Bureaucracy in the industry in this country is ridiculous, we have people in management positions in the overseeing body that have never set foot in a truck, let alone actually knowing how to drive one. And therein lies the problem, people that have no clue running the transport industry from behind a desk, not behind the wheel.
@@zwiastunburzy7188 the Australian nwo government shut down jobs not covid
I drive a truck and never had to do one of these, I'm not intelligent enough so I use a ratchet strap.
Same haha but now it’s always good to have the knowledge of these little things.
Yeah, I've been shocked at the truckers they've been pushing it of driving schools. They can't even back up their own rig. They circle around until a large enough space opens up and they get the balls to back in.
🤭🤭🤭🤭
So, to you, intelligence IS NOT KNOWING SOMETHING ELSE. wow! 🤔🤣😂
You just can not beat experience!
And if you can slow down enough to hear them, any person you run across can and will teach you something. From the big corporate guy to the drunk on the sidewalk to anyone else you meet---- you can learn something from them if you just listen and think a bit about what they are telling you.
I try to learn something from every person I spend more than 20 minutes with. I am an accumulation of everyone I've ever met. Esp after I grew up enough to know what a wonderful resource other people are, that everyone is a teacher with a story to tell.
Ese amarre me lo aprendí cuando andaba cargando cebollas en México y ese no se suelta y aprieta muy bien.
Aquí loasemos en las uvas cargando

That’s one of the best how to videos I’ve seen for this knot and in a practical setting as well.
Thank you tattoosteveneo
It's not a knot it's a hitch with a "bite".
SPRAT III
IRATA II
@@midsequence1234 always some troll somewhere huh. Actually it is a knot. A compound knot. And it’s been called other names of knots as well. Try looking it up instead of being a troll trying to be a knot (know) it all
Don't have to look it up. Try looking up SPRAT and IRATA. While you do that I'll continue to successfully "troll" these 3,4,&500 foot structures utilizing Rope Access certifications I've held for 5 years. Its gonna be troll-tastic 🖕🏽😋
Too slow and he takes two hands. Other methods use one hand and are faster
That "omg" at the end just depleted all of my hope for mankind. As if tieing a knot with rope is magic or something.
When we didn't have ratchet straps that's what we did
If I ever have to tie these again in my life, I'll know that I've made a horrible mistake.
This is maddening because there are several subtle moves He glosses right over.
Instructions unclear. Ties rope around my neck.
🤣🤣👍
David Carradine style
I missed something. He never let go of the rope so it looks to me like it's just going to go loose when he drops his other side.
Yeah, same here...hold my beer..keep holding
He didn’t secure the anchor knot. I’m guessing that was assumed to be obvious
Also known as a "navy" knot.
@@benrodeheaver701 I was in the Navy 6 years, never got taught any knots whatsoever.
I love that this knot has so many ways of tying it. Luckily I managed to learn at least one of them xD
Almost like a bellringers knot but with an extra loop to keep it from coming loose.
A Dolly in the UK , dying out like the manual gearbox , remember the Eaton twin splitter ? Most truckers wouldn't get out of the yard nowadays (just the old guys eh ?) Lol.
Everyone makes his loop a little differently, but the truckers’ hitch is still one of the best knots around.
Didn’t know they used this knot in the US actually, good to know. (Was a bitch when hemp rope got wet though 😂)
Why wouldn’t we?
I always thought the Truckers Hitch was the American version of a Dirty Sanchez.
We still call it a Dirty Sanchez actually
Rusty trombone
I like a double 8 .
Works perfect and easy to untie!
I will never get my head around truck hitches
Don't put your head on truck hitches my dude
The main component it's the "bite",, the loop he feeds the tail end through. You can make a bite in a knot or a hitch it'd serve the same purpose. The difference is the bite is "load bearing" but because the bite is created from a hitch, the hitch will undress itself as soon as the weight comes off the bite. If you use a knot with a bite the knot will be harder to undress the more weight you put on the bite. Figure of 8, figure of 9, alpine butterfly, doesn't matter what kind of knot as long as it has a bite you can do this. Word of the day is "bite".
@@midsequence1234 thanks for taking the time to explain Brandon.
This is the stuff we should be learning in elementary school 😂 I feel like these are the life lessons I really need
Pretty sure this has been around for centuries in sailing.
Pretty much all knots originated from Sailing but this is legit named a truckers hitch
@@andrewsudama4908 its not a true truckie hitch
Awww my grandpa taught me this ! Rip
Thank you for taking your time to show this lesson, i learned something new today
Been looking for hours , this knot i. Used years ago , when doing building supply's deliveries. This is the best knit
Mexicans are really good with their hands and skilled labour. Amazing people
O "carioca" EU acho mais fácil. Se bem que de vez em quando eu esqueço como fazer, depois das CINTAS, ficou menos provável usar cordas. Mais acho muito LEGAL quem faz essa ARTE.
Vc pode fazer mais a corda tem que estar em baixo e as contas por cima da lona
I have been tying a truckers hitch for over 55 years, this is a quick and easy method.
Essa amarração aqui no Brasil é chamada de "carioca"
Ou também de Nó de caminhoneiro
"…Oh my god"
This is why boy/girl scouts should be everywhere.
I learned knots when I was a preteen.
