AWESOME !! I’m a fisherman and know many knots, but all the vids I’ve seen on tying a truckies hitch’s are so complicated compared to yours.

The rabbit goes up the hole, and around the tree then back down the hole😀😀

Thanks for the comment.

[@lorenz681]

For heavier objects what would be a better locking knot

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

If I have a heavy object that's going to be bouncing around a lot, I use two half hitches pulled tight to lock the Truckers Hitch in place. Any secure binding knot will do the trick. Thanks for the question.

[@stick9648]

Heavy rope instead.

[@alinnimeni3789]

After watching this 6-7 times, i always remember the trick to do this.
The trick is to always carry ratchet straps.

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

👍Definitely a trick that will work.

[@fantasticsound2085]

I love ratchet straps and I use them everyday, and a wide variety of situations, at work. However.. ratchet straps have their limitations. You should always know how to tie the appropriate knot for a situation when a ratchet strap is unavailable, breaks or the hooks won't fit, etc.

[@kadmow]

In the USA, do Truckers really call this a truckers hitch??
in Australia we would not call it such if it has an overhand slipknot in the system (weakness - we always use a single or double sheepshank - with a double twist for security).
(sheepshanks never jam, overhand knots tend to.)

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

I am not sure what actual truckers would call this, but in the USA, this is commonly called the Truckers Hitch. Many knots have slight variations. The method you described works well and is very secure. Thanks for the comment.

[@lesblack413]

I'm from Australia and we would not recognise this hitch. Only backyarders going to the tip would use this knot. A true Aussie truckie would knock his apprentice on his arse if he tied this knot in his best rope!!

[@fantasticsound2085]

I believe the sheep shank tie off version of this knot is the one First Class Amateur demonstrates in a few videos.
Far better than this, whether or not you plan to reuse the string or rope.

[@Doonit_hard_way_since_65]

That is the hard way. there are easier ways to make the loop

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

There are slightly quicker ways to make the loop, but I believe the way I demonstrated is the easiest to understand for someone learning the knot for the first time. Thanks for watching.

[@9traktor]

Very fine explanation. Well done !

[@Thehowtochannelinc]

Thank you.
