Groceries in a truck bed: Double Blackwall Hitch

- I was on vacation at the beach when I needed a knot for groceries. I found out I didn't need rope because the plastic bags already had what I needed.

Nobody else explains the mechanics of knots as well as you. Much appreciated!!
Big brain !! This is a concept that is so easy, yet so abstract! Awesome explanation as always man. Thank you...
Duuuuuude, what a trade for Mark, that's awesome! And so is this process 😅
I just pull the opposing handles through twice, but if you really want it secure, XL carabiner. Can carry 10 bags at once.
I love it ! It does add a new meaning to " would you please double bag " When it comes to teaching knot tying ......you are the master , thank you for your time and effort .
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words
i worked at a grocery store as a teenager and i did this all the time (for small orders). loop one handle around and through and hand the customer the top loop, that tensioned itself down to close off the bag so nothing fell out and they had an easy loop handle to carry.
Normal people would have just threaded the pole through the loops. But I love this.
This was designed to test a knot intended for use on a hotel luggage cart. Are you suggesting he take the luggage cart apart to thread the bags through? The hotel won't be thrilled with that idea...
@@jimmeyers8960 I get the purpose. Like I said, I love the ingenuity behind it. I'm a huge fan of Rube Goldberg.
@@792slayer But it's not rube goldberg. Forget the truck demo. You have several plastic grocery sacks and a luggage cart. How do you attach the bags to the cart? This is really a slick knot for that application.
@@jimmeyers8960no you just tie the rope to the luggage cart, thread the rope through the bags and tie the rope off on the other side of the luggage cart. Treat the rope like the pole.
You lucky to still be able to get shopping bags. Not any more here where I live. 👍🏻🇨🇦
yeah its a rare sight here in MA as well..
Sadly because the people allow it all, all this eco green bullshit has to stop. There are legitimate things much more critical that are not being addressed.
Good riddance to one-time use plastics. It only takes a moment to bring shopping bags with you to the market. Why buy a marlin spike when you can throw away the whole rope every time you make a new knot?
Life has descended into chaos because I didn't have a crappy bag! I live in one of the last wild green countries and am very smart and forward thinking!
Literally the best channel on the Internet.😃
Oohhhh so you're the guy who send a 1gallon milk jug through my windshield....I been looking for you!!!!
All jokes aside great video
Thank you❤
😍1/2 Prusik , I'm at the beginning, I'm learning, how about,sheet knot,soft shackle ,slipped buntline hitch ?
interesting video. i need to memorize all these easier ones.
I use handles that I made from pvc that can carry as many as you can carry.
My first reaction is where are you still getting plastic bags? All of our stores have paper.
I wouldn't trust those t shirt bags make a net from bank or a similar size line then put groceries in the net, I've found Knotting Knots has a great net making playlist and you may find making nets is something you like like as it's just tying knots.
when i zip up double zippers, such as on a backpack, i usually loop the pull tabs inside each other 2 or 3 times, to keep them from coming unzipped, this kinda reminds me of that.... but mote of a knot.
At 1:07, you talk about the sheet bend, but you didn't think of using the sheet bend *directly on the grocery bag loops*, without the need for rope (the way you figured out for the double-blackwall hitch). Doing this would be much more secure than the double blackwall hitch. I'm kind of surprised that your double blackwall hitch worked with the grocery bags. Perhaps grocery bag handles have a special ability to hold that knot. Paracord doesn't hold it well at all. I recommend the sheet bend instead.
is there a useful rope configuration for old bungie cord hooks after the bungie has snapped?
That's tricky, because most bungies aren't very long. You'd need a bend (knot for joining ropes) that used a minimum amount of the remaining bungie. I'd try a sheep bend. Anything else starts to use more and more line.
This could have been SO much less interesting. You could have said "Use this knot! I did. Here!".
Instead, I really appreciated the trial and error and analysis. Great stuff. Thanks!
what do you do if your store only has paper bags?

Shooing bag still exist lol
In 6minutes and 53 seconds I could carry 100 bags of groceries 50 meters
🇵🇬,,..
I like your videos, I also looked at this with great interest. But that's so american: Plastic bags and a pickup truck with an open loading area... I take the shopping trolley to my station wagon, pack my purchases in the folding basket that I always have in the trunk and then carry my purchases into the house with the basket. Plastic bags needed: 0. Garbage produced without sense: 0. But, okay, nice (american) solution.
😉
If you like the videos then you've seen how often he uses the truck to carry things...
You're right. It's just that pickups aren't common around here and I personally have to tie very little down in my closed wagon. I hope I didn't upset anyone - my comment wasn't meant to be malicious, but winking. I find the videos very useful and have learned a lot!
I tie my bags by running one loop through the other and then do a basic knot (or maybe it's called a half knot 🤔).
Children living near you, and all around the world would appreciate if you found a more appropriate vehicle for running errands around town.
Single-use plastic bags 🙄
Average time actually used: 15 minutes
Time to break down: over 500 years
Now do glass.
Unless you reuse the bags around the house as 99 percent of people do.
Multiple use plastic bags:
Time used: 15 minutes
Time to break down: 1500 years
