The Trucker's Hitch...But Better. [Auto-Locking]

I knew the first part but the second part is new to me thanks

Excellent job Thanks

Nice and 'clean' presentation of tying cord. do it look like that first loop after half turn around anchor is actually what is called marlin spike hitch? Learned that one while convalescing few years back from Sailing book but then it should be a marine knot ,not truckers hitch?? Tks . water.

.....👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I remember the salesman at a kayak store showing me this to lash my boat to the roof , great knot

That actually looks like the best demo I've seen. The proof will be when I practice and see if I can get it right.

Use an 8 instead of a single slip.

I can’t always learn a knot, that’s my problem. Ratchet straps for me. 😂

That’s what rachet straps are for. 😂

New sub, thanks for the content. I found your video interesting and informative. I look forward to watching more from your channel.

Just beautiful

I advise an 8 to make the loop. Easier to loosen, especially in thinner rope.

What did you tie on the other side?

I just learned the truckers hitch a couple of months ago. The addition of the auto locking extra loop is makes it so much better. Thank you!

Thank you. Productive and efficient knowledge. Great demonstrational video.

Great video, although it needs to be known that at the end where creating the quick release loop after the auto locking is done, HE HAS SEVERAL CUTS AND EDITS into the video, which is why it is confusing, I wasted 20 minutes trying to follow along and figure this out until it turns out that he doesn't actually show how to do this quick release loop!

Isntead at the end the edit is to show it already done after some other or misleading methods were being shown.

No hate, I appreciate the video, I just want to help anyone other who is also confused



What is meant to be done at this part is to wrap the bind around the standing rope like he says, but cross it over the bind's beginning half now located underneath the standing line and pull upwards through the hole which consists of the standing line and the same half of bind as the perimeter , and nextly pull on the loop away from the auto lock and the free rope end in opposite directions.

The amount of maximum leverage also depends on the amount of friction of rope's surface!

Can this be safely used instead of a whoopie Sling for Hammocks?? Please, let us know. This is such a promising idea 💡,,!

Excellent truckers knot demo.
