When tieing the truckers hitch, If you feed the running end through the loop twice instead of just once it will hold itself tight while you are tieing the half hitches. Good video, thanks.
Great video, I have added to my favorites.
nice little series guys, well done!
Great video. Thank you
You're a genius at knotting, thank you buddy
great vid, very useful
Yours, like many videos we've enjoyed, portray your "taut-line hitch" by tying the second half hitch (the one on the outside of the loop) spiraling around the standing part in a different direction than the first. This configuration yields a lark's head, where the two half hitches lay against one another, which has been proven to provide less holding power than if the two half hitches were formed in an identical fashion (like you did when securing your trucker's hitch). Though some don't seem to concur, a proper taut-line hitch has the working end proceeding around the standing part in the same way during the entire knot-tying process. This forms a rolling hitch around the standing part, which is actually what the taut-line hitch is called throughout Europe.
"This configuration yields a lark's head, where the two half hitches lay against one another, which has been proven to provide less holding power than if the two half hitch". Well, after hauling dozens of canoes at the time for years, the two half hitch in a lark's head configuration is a very stable knot. But I have to confess, before tying it I always do some "chicken dead turn" around my anchor point to add some friction. This also force the knot to be near the anchor point instead of being at the figure eight knot. This has the double advantage of narrowing the bight and tightening the rope even more. The other advantage is that the knot is now sitting near the anchor point and not in the middle of the rope, making it less prone to vibrate under high wind while you drive.
@@Patat0four btw, a lark's head around the standing part is often called a cow hitch. Of course it's a real knot, but differentiated from "Two Half Hitches ("Double Half Hitch") which is a a clove hitch around the standing part. Cheers.
Thank you very much👍great Work
very cool , thanks for sharing
Simple and helpful!
I got to make the self-tie bowline! Thank you! Looks very strong. Haha
Cheers Mate!
may sound mad but your trucker Knott tuition was great Never remembered that one till your clip Gd one mate Stay healthy friend
Helpful, thank you 😊
Great filming and editing. Very educational
+originaljayno Cheers. Thanks!
Best knot tip ...❤ Great tips
NICE WHITEWATER HAT! I love the whitewater center here in NC!
very very beautiful knots
Wery good technics. Thank you wery much.
best way for a bowline i've seen. thanks
I will always use the genius taut-line with my tarp now. You guys are great teachers. Thanks so much :-)
Einzigkeit
A slippery guy is much better. A very similar knot. In a slippery guy, you tie it with a loop at the end to back it all out quickly, and it has 3 looks around the inside in sequence, one to the outside then your fastener.
Truckers hitch at one end is best 👍🏼👍🏼
Bowline with a toggle at the other 👌
Good video. My dad knew how to tie all these knots. Many Times he tried to teach me the bowline. Truckers hitch I picked up securing various things to vehicles. Taught line hitch still makes my head spin a bit. Much like the bowline used to do. Until I learned to do it a fairly quick way. Not quite as quick as yours.
Anyway your video was Also the catalyst for something you might want to include in a future video. When I was younger working on a framing crew also the catalyst for something you might want to include in a future video. When I was younger working on a framing crew for a while we Doubled over the extension cords and braided them. Similar to the rope shortening message you used. Actually it's the same thing. So my thought is you could use extension cords to climb. Then when you wanted to stop for lunch, you could Plug in your microwave, or your tea pot, or whatever appliance you bring with you up the face of the mountain and have lunch or afternoon tea, etc.
Verry verry nice information
Great thanks
Thank you very much 🥰💕
really most useful
Pretty cool
Thank you
Excelente explicacion Haora a practicar desde Mendoza argentina
good. tks!
Really like that bowline
Спасибо
Thanks. I've been trying to learn the truckers hitch but didn't know what it was called.
Tanks vidio... 👍❤
Knots might not be the most interesting video we have done, but they sure are useful!
I really enjoyed this series. Thank you for creating it. I learned quite a few new techniques :-D
+Platinum Dragon Productions Awesome! Thanks for the comment.

If you 'learned' techniques from this video, you have learned nothing at all!
Hello, this is really amazing. I love it. I couldn't find any teaching of these knots, do you have any idea what it might called? It doesn't look like "Chain Sinnet" or "Zipper Sinnet". It is in this Video at 5:40 so you don't have to watch the whole video. Thanks a lot!
Hands in the way!!
This is knot a very good video.
good knots
Thanks
,nice tnx..
Excellent presentation! Great job, thank you!
1:24 a trucker taught me this knot....he used slip knot half hitches here too. A lot easier to untie than what you did.
hi guys, I like your knot video, that is until you got to the Prusik. It's a cool knot with lots of uses, but you started with a Prusik and ended with a autoblock - used in different applications.
i agree with comments. i am a professional tree trimmer. and i would knot trust these guys. there are better videos out there. these ppl are gonna get someone injured or killed.
what would be a good manilla rope to work on a tree limb 20" high 6" limb? 3/4 manilla, ok?
Quick note... 0:52... that "slip knot" is usually called a marlinspike hitch in knot tying circles. (In case anyone was interested.)
Hi. Thank you for this. I have some trouble with the Prusik, so I'll have to practice that one, but the Chain Sinnet I've been doing since I was a kid, except we called it finger knitting. Cool.
Again, thanks.
Look up a different video for prussic. That was an autoblock, very useful great knot for exactly what they showed. But it is not a classic prussic that most people would think of when saying that word....
Doing it a long time does not mean you thought about it much. It is much more effective: faster & shorter & safer & more convenient, if you double it, and start tying it from the ends until you have a small end loop you can clip to. It cannot catch on stuff the way that loop of sinnet stitches can.
Also, for longer lines, to avoid getting a lot of twists into your line, (& make a neater sinnet) alternate the loop tucks right and left handed for a zero net twist.
Kinda funny as an equestrian I use a few of these knots often..I use the chain sinnet almost everyday because I can’t just use a simple secured quick release when tying Brian my horse..it comes in handy especially with 12’ training lead but even with a 7’-9’ lead rope..if I leave a tail of any sort Brian chews or gets himself into a pickle🙄 For some reason equestrians call the chain sinnet a daisy chain..unless they’re two different quick release chains? That’s exactly how I tie it so I think it’s the same..we just call it something different..awesome video!! Almost all of these knots shown are incredibly handy for everyday equestrian use and for taking the horses to the mountains..fantastic job thank you!
Haven't read all the comments, so pardon us if we're being repetitive. The taut-line hitch was illustrated incorrectly. Both half hitches need to spiral around the standing part in the same way, or you'll be sacrificing a major degree of friction the configuration yields to keep the line "taut." i.e. BOTH initially passing OVER the standing part from the right -or- UNDER the standing part from the right -or- OVER the standing part from the left -or- UNDER the standing part from the left. ua-cam.com/video/H4rbBHp1QXo/v-deo.html
The knot you called the trucker's knot is what we used to use to tie down freight and cargo planes
thanks
Everybody talks about the bowline being so useful but the only knots I’ve really ever needed was truckers hitch (a bit different than he’s shown) a half hitch, slip knot, prussic a barrel hitch, clove hitch and a simple bend
What kind of rope and how thick pls.thank you for the videos
Thumbs up for having a Dagger. Use to be my favorite 'yak, especially 5 years ago when this vid came out... Liquid Logic is The Way, but like legend Pat Keller says: "Paddle what'cha got!"
the taut line hitch can be tight meaning not sliding if you do a jam knot.. meaning take the scond turn of the taut hitch and cram it down over and around the first turn ..then a half hitch or two just to secure the set
5 kayaker knots the link in the end of this video it´s not available anymore, what happened to that video?
So if u have a 1200 lb pulling force magnet , what knot do ya use so u won't loose it in the water , magnet fishing 1/4 " rope
I like how you tie knots
Uhh, huhh, easy fer you, your brain works!!! I failed marlinspike in the Navy, so they made me the ship's medic!! Doc Mike USN
That was interesting
I use the chain senate all the time with my 100 ft extension cords. Good for storage and to keep them untangled.
Qruurworuywyyyouop
thanks for giving us the chain sinnet name; I've been calling it "daisy chain" for years.
and also thanks for the one handed bowline demo!
super
Regarding the mid line knot for truckers hitch. I would use a butterfly knot. And now that I'm thinking about it, I wonder if a butterfly loop is stronger than a bowline. With a bowline under max load, the cord will always break at the first sharp turn from the load side. You can mark the rope a that point and watch it. I wonder if the butterfly knot softens that first turn.
Just tied one, and it might. If tested and it works, the butterfly may be a better end loop, as well as mid line loop.
Good vid, EXCEPT...you never tie to the siderail of the rack, always to the crossbar and against the side of the hull to eliminate all space between the hull and the rope. Tying to the siderail allows for side to side movement of the boat on the crossbar.
Maravilha abraço Brasil
good blog
Truckers knot is called a "Dolly knot" in the U.K.... You can have them in line on the same bit of rope... I have used 4 in line when transporting chip board flooring (The shiny stuff)... like it to stay on my lorry.. saves on paperwork :-)
Good video! Thanks for posting! One thing: the way you've tied the prusik is pretty dangerous; it will become undressed very easily, making it useless. I suggest simply pulling the inner bight through the outer bight, making the outer bight sinch down on the knot, holding it in place. Give it a try and let me know what you think! Thanks again!
Those things being the case, how about splicing some line into a loop (circle) sort of like your demo loop. Then you'll have a smooth(er) line to work with. I'm learning about the prusik so I need good operating tips.
I was looking for that comment. What was shown here is not actually a prusik but rather a looped line being wrapped around a rope several times..... It lacks the finishing part of the knot, which is important.
He tied it correctly but named it incorrectly. The knot he tied is called an autoblock and it is standard practice to apply it the exact way he showed. I suggest you do some research on the knot and try it out for yourself, you'll discover that you can release loads while under tension. Just remember if that hitches depend on the size ratio of cord to rope in addition to handle and feel. If you have really thick stiff rope for your cord, it's going to suck as a prussic, so make sure you've got a good 6 or 7mm rope that is nice and supple.
I'm with James on this. He started with a Prusik, but when he looped the second bite around the biner, it became an autolok - wrapped wrong. Like James said: "it will become undressed very easily, making it useless". or less effective.
Therefore: NOT a good video.
I recognize this dude from my hunters education training video!
Lalan 💪🔝
英語分からんけどゆっくり丁寧で助かる
What am I supposed to do with the remains of the rope when I'm using the truckers hitch tying something to the roof of a car?
Good stuff! Are you the same guy that was in the hunters education videos?
The one and only! Nice spot. You must have just watched the hunter ed videos huh?
What jacket are you with the red cap around 32 seconds wearing? Its awesome!
Hah. Um. It's actually from Old Navy...
Good knot review. Thanks.
The sinnet was new to me.
Great production values and instruction. However, I would say that two of the knots are wrong. The prusik and the taut line hitch are not correct. The bowline is sort of right but if you are going to tie a one handed bowline, use one hand. Otherwise, use the conventional way with two hands IMO.
The first Knot in "the prusik Knot" is double fisherman Knot, you looped it to the other rope, now that then form a prusik Knot. Its a compound Knot, as trucker hitch.
Climber here. Was about to comment on the improper prusik as well but noticed it has already been addressed, heavily. 😁
Thanks. I leave all videos that have incorrect information. Especially so as I am here to begin learning basic things necessary for climbing.
Love your teaching technique, go super slow at the first part and then you just go…bang bang bang and your done!!!
Yeah thx I didn’t learn shot
At last, someone who knows how to tie a bowline!
Now learn the truckers hitch. You shouldn't have to pull the end through the loop.
good

What knot would you use on the pother side of the Trucker's hitch? Would it be a bowline perhaps?
Great video! What kind of bend was used to make that loop in the Prusik demonstration?
+aaron8862006 Double fisherman, which is two opposed double overhands.
Don't use this 'prusik', find another video that teaches it properly!
the last loop of your taught line is backward, the free end should come out opposite of the incoming end
charlie's comment is correct. the last loop should be placed on top of the standing part, not under it.
Those are good knots to know. Aside from that, I often see videos showcasing the bowine knot, but never have I seen a video showcasing the running bowline.
interesting video but I agree with comments in regards to prussik knot
The Truckers hitch Ive need to get down all these years.
why would I use a tautline? when a truckers hitch is a better choice because it is faster and easer to tie it does not come loose you can put allot more tension on your line and its quick and easy to unite with just a pull. a bowline with a spike hitch does great at the other end.
Great video Thank for sharing!
Well, I think this video is VERY knotty 😃
What that exact name of rope of this kind.
*They are very handy to have, for anyone who likes to hick or climb...* *I personally have always liked knots and especially being in the Navy where they can save your life.*
Wow nice climbing in the roof acces I believe ok❣️💖
tautline know have the same principle as prusik knot but can be made in several ways. ray mears shows little bit differently and i do differently but we get the same results.good job
+maisetas - Yeah, I tend to tie the tautline differently most of the time too. I looked it up before I did the video though and this method is one of the more common ones. Good observation.
good video, thought the ice cream truck was coming down my street, now i want ice cream. video did its purpose though. thanks
Hhu
jsuea
.
That last one i "discovered" decades ago out of frustration with unruly extension cords.😂
The “Prusik Loop” made at the 4 minute mark in the video is wrong. Also the carabiner attachment point going to a single leg loop...wrong.
And as pointed out in another comment, should be connected on the brake side.
Camera Lens what do you thing?
someone can tell me what kind of rope is the blue one that binds the kayak please
