I finally tied up a pile of boxes without struggling to keep the string tight. These instructions worked perfectly and was very easy to follow. Thank You!!
Oh man I can't wait to try this. That is the type of knot/rigging I want. I can't wait until my neighbor sees the old boxes I have broken down and flattened all tied up in nice neat packages.. OMG this is going to be great!
Possible improvement : the last time you go through the loop, try going around it twice. It should then 'auto-lock' the tension. You can then still finish off with half-hitches to be more secure.
Thank you very very much. I have been looking for this to tie bundles together. I never thought of learning this from my husband. Again thank you very very much 😀😀😀
to make the hitch to self-lock without loosing tension, just make sure you thread 2 times one of the loops. So either: - you thread through loop 1, then to loop 2, than back through loop 1 - you thread through loop 1, than through loop 2, than throug loop 2 again. (- even a third way exists: - you thread trhough loop 1, than again to loop 1, than through loop 2. That loop 1 wold be self-locking). Either way, the second time you get trhough the same loop, your working end will go under the first pass through that loop, creating a locking effect.
Great instructional. It was much improved from the previous trucker-hitch-cardboard-bundle video (particularly because some people need further details, myself included - people have different learning styles and experiences). Although, maybe there was a slight "dig" here to those people? lol when you used the word "clearly" near the beginning? lol no big deal - I wasn't sure whether to find that funny or insulting. lol I chose to laugh. Great video.
It's called the 'truckers hitch knot'. If you would have been listening to the feller in the video he clearly states that type of knot about 35 - 40 seconds into the video
Thanks but uses too much rope. Canadian jam knot uses only 1/3 the cordage. And much easier to tie. Also your modified truckers hitch has a “floating anchor point” which may cause issues (lots of initial slipping) with users.
I am by no means criticizing this video. it is a good video. but I found that what has helped me learn to tie knots more easily is if the video maker is in the same position as the person who would be watching your video so you need to do it from the same perspective.
I find that using a taut-line hitch knot works good for bundles (like a bundle of cardboard or sticks, etc.) You only cut the string on the spool once the knot is completely tied securely and tight. So this wastes no string. Here's a good video that explains it ruclips.net/video/cbVF8hIwtxc/видео.html
Incorrect. "In a Bind" is defined as: In a difficult situation, usually of one's own making; having a dilemma; faced with a problem or a set of problems for which there is no easy solution.
@@OldSoulMillennial To tie or fasten tightly together with a cord, band, chain etc. The key word is BIND, not the phrase In a Bind. I have heard that expression and you are correct. Your wording is the opposite of what's intended, just wanted to make light of that. I actually do like this method because its different to other ways.
Thought 5 minutes was too much just to learn how to tie a cardboard stack. Was totally worth it - perfect video, perfect knot for recycling cardboard.

Just left the other video because you skipped over the important part: the knot. Glad it's the same person. Thank you!
Thats why I made this second video! Thanks for stopping by
I had switched to using packing tape, but even that was hard to get tight enough. This will save me time and money! Thank you!
Excellent video. Although i know and use this knot dally, i enjoyed watching this.... for a 2nd time🎉
It is a very simple but extremely effective knot-tying system. Thank you!! I shall use what was shown here.😊
Great job illustrating.. worked perfectly even with slippery nylon! Thank you
Glad it helped!

Thank you so much! This was very informative, very descriptive and easy to follow. You had me tying knots with ease.

It’s like a truckers hitch
to make the hitch to self-lock without loosing tension, just make sure you thread 2 times one of the loops. So either:
- you thread through loop 1, then to loop 2, than back through loop 1
- you thread through loop 1, than through loop 2, than throug loop 2 again.
(- even a third way exists: - you thread trhough loop 1, than again to loop 1, than through loop 2. That loop 1 wold be self-locking).
Either way, the second time you get trhough the same loop, your working end will go under the first pass through that loop, creating a locking effect.
I bought the wrong string. Can you do this with thin rope?

Great video.
Just coming back to comment, you're savior, I just moved and secured each square box with this knot *insert meme * "that's not going anywhere
I learned something!
Great knotting system! The only possible improvement is to use quick release knots instead of overhand knots if you wanted to reuse the string.
How to undo the knote
Just what I needed! Took a couple of tries but got there in the end 🙂
What is the knot in the video called?
What 'type' of knot is it?

8 think he used a truckers hitch on 2 overhand bights

Try ruclips.net/video/1lLkoWJPmTs/видео.html "Flynn's improved trucker's hitch" it's faster to tie, as strong, and easier to untie.
That string isn't recyclable, you have to use twine.
Good Point. I wonder how well twine will hold up to the forces of this hitch
@@OldSoulMillennial I'm about to find out next weekend. Hemp twine.
"This is very useful knowledge that may get you out of a bind." NO, it's meant to get you IN A BIND!!!. Start again.

,🇵🇬,
Way too complicated. Maybe if you have time to learn it for an hour to fully understand it to apply it, then maybe it might be useful.
Watch other "trucker's hitch" videos. I use this daily at work USPS
