Thank you so much for sharing this life hack! I nearly broke my fingers yesterday trying to get tension on my washing line - with your advise it was a brezze today! Most appreciated!
Simple and elegant. Thank you! Do you have another video for joining two rope ends to make a loop? I'm setting up a loop with pulleys for my bird feeders, but I don't know how to join the two ends elegantly.
If you have a three strand rope you can join the two ends with a (so called) long splice (there are videos on youtube on how to do it). It is a great idea for a video, because the long splice is a quite difficult thing to learn. The other option would be to find a very non-bulky knot to join the two end, but I at the moment I don't have a good candidate.
Thanks for the video. I used it to successfully pull a fence post into proper position ... now, is there a trick to loosening this knot or is cutting the rope the only way?
If you untie the other side of the rope (the one we never see in the video), it would remove the tension. Then untie the safety knot (the extra half hitch at the end, assuming you tied it). Now you should be able to pull on the tail and the line will slide out of the figure eight. Then untie the figure eight.
PS - for the scenario you mention (pulling out / adjusting a fence post), look up the icicle hitch, pipe hitch, or sailor's gripping hitch. They're all somewhat similar and will all work best to pull out a rod stuck in the ground. They can be untied effortlessly.

Um, once you tightened it so far that the knot reaches the ring, it looks like you can't tighten it any more even if the rope starts to stretch over time, or due to weight of clothes etc. So, um, can you show us how easy it is to loosen that knot so you can do a new one that eliminates the slack?
@ISmellLikeBeefandCheese I believe you. I am just wondering what you do a month later when the rope has s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d due to the weight of a lot of wet clothes on the line... I use the taut line hitch for my washing lines exactly for that reason - so I can retighten over time. PS If you put one at each end, it saves a bit of walking if its a long line.
This is the best, simplest method of tightening any line! I've used it countless times in countless situations. Thank you!!
secured the both ends of the rope with this knot. Worked wonders. thank you.

I think this is called a compound trucker's knot.
Works very well for my laundry line!

Thank you ❣️
Приходится пересматривать несколько раз. Чуть помедленнее бы для таких тупых, как я😂. Но спасибо, кое-как получилось!
Thnks its so simple
Thanks 😊👍
is it easy to open too?
Thank you.
I would like to thank you for this 👍🕺🥂🥃🍺🙏
Very helpful for setting up but how easy to remove?? I have a shared garden and need to set up and remove line each time of use.
Who cares, you cut it off.
Use a hitch knot instead
I love the inor but I can work it out
Can get the bowline but can’t work out your knot
I wish I could
life saver
Life saving

Brilliant thanks for that
Just had two break today going to do this when I buy some new ones lol thanks
Looks awesome, but can it be untied after ?
nope... only with sissors
how hard when removing
Thanks a lot 👍
Thnku wil try tht tommorow!!
Thanks for the video, I was wondering what is the material of the rope or the reference? I am looking for one like that and it seems good! Thank you
It's a paracord, such as:
www.helikon-tex.com/en_eur/cd-pc1-nl-550-paracord-100ft.html
how do you remove the stickiness of the wire,.....
Can i do it with a metal rope/wire ?
Um, once you tightened it so far that the knot reaches the ring, it looks like you can't tighten it any more even if the rope starts to stretch over time, or due to weight of clothes etc. So, um, can you show us how easy it is to loosen that knot so you can do a new one that eliminates the slack?
Very nice idea, but How to lose this knot ?

But how to loose it?
Worked for me....
Awesome 👏
perfect
Not exactly cures baldness but very useful all the same.
What is this very useful Witchcraft!? Cheers!
Its better than the other videos but im still having trouble and getting really frustrated that im only making my line worse
figure 8 how about explaining that first - clear as mud
Hello, can I do with wire ?
I think not, the wire is not flexible enough.
Wow 😮
Hey, will this work with a pvc washing line?
I think it will.
Don't even try to untie it.........if you make a mistake.....you just lost a piece of rope.
It will not come back again
How to lose it
Truckers hitch ...

Ok. Now untie it.
Now how the hell do you untie it? Can you come up with a procedure to tie it and unite it easily?
No. Use a hitch when you need to do that
Dont work 😢
Fucked your wall up
Not me watch this video with loose line and sore hands😢
Talk next time. Some people cant read.
Some people can't hear. We can all learn how to read, we can't learn to hear if we are deaf.
Thank you ❤
But how to untie it?
