In-line Auto Truckers Hitch. Better Explanation

20+ years working in technical rescue..... and you just taught me a new way to do two of my knots easier! And your instruction pace, terminology, and confidence in knowledge are on point. Strong work.

I'm 60 yrs young and today I have applied this to my bag of tools and tricks ! I've rigged up several objects to see how much I could torque and BAM ! Watch it Boys , you can break some shit with this . Thanks for this very much needed video .

When you fast FWD 10sec right at the start to miss the BS but he's already into the explanation. I like this guy

I have been using a Truckers Hitch for 50 years. You just taught a "old dog a new trick" nice job teaching me a new trick that is not easy to do. Not because i know everything its because i am hard headed.

My problem is that I don't use them everyday so always forget by the time I need it again....

The truckers hitch has been my favorite and most useful way to secure things for 40 years, but apparently I’ve been tying it wrong this whole time. I’ve always used a slip knot with two extra twists in it for my top loop. This way of tying it reduces the chance of never getting that slip not undone. Fascinating and super cool! Thank You for this awesome channel. I hope to get a 13 year old hooked on tying knots with your channel.

I've been using bowlines for the last 40 years, as a combat engineer, with the operating engineers, and several construction trades. If I only had a dollar for every time I tied one of them... I was taught, and always used, the "rabbit" method. I can't believe I never came across this method until now. It's not only simpler to tie, but in many situations would be much less clumsy. You can set the knot up, slip the free end through your anchor point, and quickly complete the knot. There were plenty of times, such as securing a non-stationary load, when I used a different knot b/c a bowline just wasn't practical to tie w/o having three hands. This method makes it a cinch. Wish I learned it a few decades ago :(

Literally sitting here with my mouth hanging open after watching this. What kind of dark magic IS THIS?!? Bravo my brother!

Good video, thanks. I like tying knots. However, I would probably drop the cabinet on it's back and then use a ratchet strap.

I’m from the U.K and my late cockney father was a HGV Lorry/truck driver. He was trained in the army and held all licences, explosive loads, flammable gases, petrochemical and radioactive loads .. That all said once leaving the army he became just a general long distance driver. Now when using a flatbed trailer they used to cover the load with a tarp and tie it on at multiple places using which I believe to be this system … He called them ‘Dolly knots’ .. I remember watching him do this many times when I went out with him as a young boy .. Really quite impressive watching a 5’6” man unwrap and tie down a 50ft odd x 10ft odd (And that’s just a guesstimate, they are probably much larger than that) heavy duty grade tarp weighing god knows how much, sometimes in the wind and rain using multiple ropes with this knot method.

I need to watch that just 100 more times to remember it all

838 people who just don't get it. You my friend amongst all other guys I've seen in the past made it possible for me to finally understand the way this knot is made. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best.

First thought: What's the use/advantage against the simple trucker's hitch I used for so many years... I knew about the self-locking part (two times through the loop). Marlinespike-hitch to tighten... old hat. And yours seems way more complicated at first glance. So what about it? Followed your instructions anyway... partly out of boredom, partly out of curiosity, what this would lead to. Then found out you NEVER have to touch the loose end... no matter at all if the loose end is 5, 50 or 500 meters long! Now I'm wide awake and completely thrilled! Thanks so much for this! Video, audio, description, explanation, presentation (colored ropes)... all very well done! Only suggestion for improvement from my point of view: point out more and make sure that nobody misses the fact of the never touched loose end!

That bowline technique though.... holy moly, what a fantastically simple method. Wonderful video, thank you so much!

Been using truckers tie down for 20+ years. Thought I knew it all... this is actually 1000% better than how I’ve been doing it. Now I just got to go practice it. Old dog learns new trick. Thanks for the video.

thank you. this is much clearer. Your previous video had a couple of key spots where some voodoo hand moves occurred that I just couldn't learn. You tied my brain in a knot at the same time the filing cabinet got tied down!

When he shows it with the carabiner it clarified so much for me. Now I can easily remember this. Everything was so well done!

Much better explanation than your earlier demo. Thanks for the upgraded video schooling on this useful knot.

Excellent video, I now have two couch pillows secured to my coffee table with confidence:)

Nice third installment, very clear. Appreciate your including the knot names. There are so many versions of the truckers hitch and you are the only one I e seen with this version. It definitely has some advantages! Appreciate it!
