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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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 .

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.

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

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.

That bowline method is snazzy!!

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

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

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

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 :(

I really enjoy the way you demonstrate your knots. Clear and concise. Great job.

In Australia it’s called the Truckies knot and this is the best one yet. Foolproof!!

Best version of the Trucker's Hitch I've seen. Thanks!!

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.

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!

For anyone wondering like I was, releasing the tension by breaking the tension lock part of this system does not spoil the setup and force you to start again. As easily as the the "lock" is released it is reset again by applying tension to the working end. Great job as always!

The bowline is much faster that way, great bit of knowledge right there! thank you very much sir

Thought I would throw this into my mix along with my normal truckers hitch but I tie this version in about 9 seconds now and I don’t have to worry about finding the end of the working end anymore, plus I can do it on a 100ft line or a 10ft line so thank you for this.

Knots always amazed me and can only remember a few I've used for years. I appreciate the science involved in creating them.

knowing how to tie knots for specific uses is honestly one of the manliest things. Instant cred!

hands down the best truckers hitch that I've seen. I started out using this hitch 30 years ago with slip knots. It worked but kind of defeated the purpose of the hitch. Good demo of the bowline too. I just learned that one a few years ago.

Best knot-splainer I've ever seen

I need to watch this like 5 times but I'm glad you did it! Thanks!

You are now my #1 knot explainer.

This is so cool how fast it is and that you can use a long rope without uncoiling or measuring. Thank you very much. Life changer.

This vid is way better than the previous one...thanks

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!

Just stumbled upon this video. I don’t use rope often but I like knowing some helpful knots. Great video. Thank you.

I remember the old timers in my church took the time to teach us young men to tie a bowline knot. My peers looked on disdainfully, yawning with boredom. I, with my somewhat old fashioned up bringing was grateful and eager to learn. Later in life, a guy I worked with on the oil rigs taught me an excellent collection of useful knots, tackles, and hitches that have proven indespensable throughout my life. It is rare that I find a knot or hitch that improves on that collection, but this is an exception! Thanks for taking the time!

I am speechless at what I just watch. Fantastic!

First off, great video, great tutorial, no BS, nothing but the facts. I like it. NOW...I HAVE to comment about some of the comments...HILARIOUS! So many people "I'd just lay it down..." "too complicated...." wow. I guess there are knot people and not-knot people. Yes ratchet straps work. Yes he'd lay it down. It's F--KING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO! LOL I thought it was great. Thanks!

Your explanations are awesome. I am autistic with a learning disability and can still learn from you. THANK YOU

That is the best and most immediately relevant knot tutorial I have ever seen. You explained things SO WELL. The whole rig, and it's tightening, just blew my mind!

best knot channel by far. superb instructions! keep em coming

Glad I watched to the end. I've struggled to find decent anchors to practice with until I saw you use the two quick clamps. That's a such a simple method, but a genius moment! Thanks for the video!

Dang near yanked your truck over into its side, holy crap that knot is awesome!

Excellent knot tying instruction! Had a practice line handy and gave it a few tries to memorise. Useful and dependable. Nicely crafted, high knot-count video, for accomplished knot tyers!

"Ohhhh, i got it now. Im off to the Hardware shop to buy some ratchet straps" Thanks for the video share.

I work in an industry that uses plenty of knots and it’s amazing how many people have zero concept of knots and line. They need to watch videos like this. Some people say “if you can’t tie a good knot, tie a lot”.

The close up at the end helped show me why it was staying "locked" without additional binding. Thanks

Awesome video. I saw your Tiktok clip and had to search for the full video here. Thanks for the help learning new knot techniques.

Dude. I'm gonna have to watch this post-coffee in the AM when my brain works better. That's next level. Must be climbing knowledge.

This is my new favorite knot and I’ve already used it to great advantage a number of times. You’re absolutely a master both of knots and of teaching in a way that’s easy to understand and retain.

Thank you , great job making it so simple. Know that the Light of your being is a blessing to everyone on your journey. Shine on

Great job! This is a wonderful explanation, good pace, good audio, and I really love the different color ropes.

The easiest way of doing a truckers hitch I ever seen. Great video. Thank you.

That is brilliant! Love the method and so clearly explained. Orange rope and black rope was a bonus!

Wow. Never saw this before. This is perfect for helping me guy up my ham radio hexbeam antenna. Thanks!!

Best method I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for sharing this it's great for a ridge line!!!!!!

I've now tested it out and practiced it a few times. It's a game-changer to not have to feed the end through, and that it's self-locking. If you absolutely need every bit of mechanical advantage to get your rope ultra tight, the friction here will drain a few percent, so maybe a normal trucker's hitch has the advantage, but I honestly don't think I'll ever go back now that I've learned this one. People in the comments saying that it's too complicated: grab a rope and try it out. It's much easier than you think, and goes really quickly when you're not explaining it point by point for a RU-vid video!

Best darn video on knots!!! You’ve just made obsolete the truckers hitch. This knot take the lead for tying down loads. Thank you thank you!

Thank you! I’ve been looking for this for 25 years!! An old timer showed me this once, but I failed to memorize it. I’ve been using a simple truckers hitch since but have always wanted to find out how to tie this one. I think the old timer tied it this way, but also was able to double the leverage somehow.

Wow. I'm subscribed to a bunch of handy, diy, home project, tools, etc... But this channel has already proven itself useful in the first week.

When I was a truck driver years ago, the truckers knot we used was less than half as complicated as yours but just as secure. Which was a good thing because we loaded and unloaded several times a day.

I believe I need to search no further. A few people have put in the comments “40 Years” of making this knot and this guy does it easier and better!!! Problem solved, thank you for creating the last truckers knot video I will ever need to watch!!!

I have GOT TO practice this knot !!!!!!!

Used the panic knot in anger today! It worked a treat:-) and that spilled bowline is amazing!

I would love to see you do these knots at full speed as well, for entertainment, but also to see how long it should take when I finally know what I am doing.

no one i've seen on youtube is as creative as you are in their uses of knots and cordage. learned alot from your excellent videos. thank you!

Excellent demonstration. My take away was the way you manipulated the turns for friction capture. I have never seen the marline spike hitched used in to tighten down a truckers hitch. Likewise I have never seen a larks head used to hold the upper bight. I knew that both would work. Thank you for sharing your version of the truckers hitch.

Truckers who can tie knots deserve a big raise.

Super cool. Truckers hitch is my go to, but this is next level and so much better. And easier to do when you have a long working end that you may want to use for tying something else down. Great work and great video!

I still can't stop watching this video... really very good. Thanks very much.

I need to watch this 50 times to use it once. Then I'll forget all about it the next time I need to do it 🤦🏼

My well-practiced, but inferior version of this has so many practical uses over the years. I can't wait to try this improved version ... and thanks for the easy bowline hitch at the beginning!!!!

Thanks for this, I always struggle with a bowline around an object. Your bowline at the starrt is by far and away the easiest I've come across. However I do tend to use the water bowline or double bowline for security, but in this instance there is no need and your bowline tie is perfect for this circumstance.

Now, you need a knot to increase the strength of that truck. I can't get enough of your "knotledge". Great channel!.....subbed.

This guy knows how to (knot) do things the right way! After watching several of your videos, I've been inspired. Subscribed - buying some paracord and rope. I've dealt with issues cinching down bungees and ratchet straps. Rope (and particularly the tensioning methods you've shared) is making more sense for several applications. Keep up the great educational content, sir.

Holy. S. I'm on the go, so I'm gonna have to come back to this, but this working from the middle of the rope thing is a game changer.

Very interesting version. I have been doing a few truckie hitche versions for almost 30 years, never seen this one, but I’m going to practice it and see if it is the winner. Thanks for sharing.

So basically use a rachet tie down. Kidding, great info & thanks for sharing!🤝👌

Thanks for the follow up, this is a great way to tie down anything on my truck. Your'e a first class Pro.

Excellent instructions. Good knot, even better teacher. Thanks

Não conhecia esse tipo de nó. Excelente vídeo. Parabéns! TON BRASIL.

Your are a good instructor,thank you.

That flick or ping of the rope to make sure it’s tight followed by “ that’s not going anywhere “ is all you need to know when tying something down

This has become my favorite version of the truckers hitch. It seems to lock in the tension far better than any other version. The bowline tie with the spill over is great also. This presentation is so excellent in so many ways. Thank you so much for this!

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing! This video was much easier to follow that your other one. I learned it from your other video but I picked up a couple of the whys here. Thanks again!

Yeah, thats was nice. Smart combination of few knots.

So I use both bowlines and trucker hitches at work all the time. And while I think your truckers hitch is a bit too complex for what I do, I wont deny how well you can use it to crank down on things. The way you tied that bowline though is really slick. I can tie a bowline with my eyes closed in a second if the loop is facing away from me. I don't use the hole, tree, rabbit confusion. However in those awkward situations where I have to tie it with the loop towards me I struggle. I'm going to commit that technique to memory.

& here was me thinking I know a few knots well (ex scouter) I taught myself a way to do the truckers hitch many years ago that didn't require pulling all the rope through & with multiple hitches on the one rope you can undo each one to retighten if required without loosening the others. I've used it all my life! BUT! you have just shown me an awesome way to hold tension on that knot. I love the bowline too, I also taught myself to tie it in any configuration (upside down, back to front etc) & I can even tie it blind folded (as I can with most knots I know) This is excellent tuition to, very easy to follow. Thanks from Oz !! 👍

This is by far the best method to tie the truckers hitch if you've got a lot of excess rope on one side! Thanks!

super cool. it basically adds a taughtline onto the trucker's hitch

When you finished the hitch with 2 Half-hitches I could hear my dad telling me to always secure that way because “Two half-hitches will hold the Devil.”

This guy is an expert at taking something very simple and making it impossibly complicated

Thanks for sharing. Good clear explanation.

Ну ты волшебник! Отлично! Полезные узлы! Спасибо!

how am I supposed to remember all those moves. damn

The best knot teacher on the web!!!

In your bonus footage at the very end you secured the loop with a clove hitch on a bite, Nice!

Thought bro was going to pull the bed of the truck before he finished every knot in the Boy Scout handbook… seriously… great job!
