My father taught me this knot, next to some fishing knots like the blood knot, the truckers hitch was my first knot outside of fishing that he taught me. He taught me this so I could tie down my mini bike on our trailer
Same here... my Dad taught me this knot also and its always my best go to knot for tying down anything on my trailer (when not using ratchet straps, lol).
Thanks for the video but try this,... Throw rope UNDER the ladders first then throw rope back over the top towards your original tie off side, run rope under & around the line then head back to the far side so you now have rope wrapping totally around the ladders,... Now, when you pull down to tension the Truckers Hitch, if you run the rope through the loop a second time you will have a "Lock" to hold tension while tying off BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE lol,... When tensioning the Hitch, run the rope around your rail for a second time then through the loop a second time to get a 4x tension advantage with the "Lock".
@@How2TieKnots No probs :) The extra tensioning power & the "Lock" is very handy for the young or elderly or anyone who is experiencing some loss of strength,... Cheers from an Aussie in USA ;)
What you're calling the Aussie Trucker's Hitch is the knot which has been called the Wagoner's Hitch and then Trucker's Hitch in the US for at least 200 years. Truckers work by the job; not by the hour, so they don't have time to tie (and untie) those slip knot hitches you see on this and other knot channels. They also don't have time to find the tie-off at the end like you showed. Truckers pinch the rope at the loop and tie a slipped half hitch followed by a half hitch around the loop formed by the slipped half hitch.
Thanks. This is a better one than the others I've watched. Exactly what I was looking for. This one doesn't wreck the rope or bind up.

This was the standard way to tie down produce in the California central valley back when they used ropes.
Thanks a lot for sharing. It's really help full.
Ahhh, the old Telecom Rope 😂 Everybody had some lol.
Excelente vídeo. Muchas gracias por explicarlo tan claro
I Like This System.

That's a great tip 👍👍👍 I might do a video up soon with your method. Thanks for suggesting it 👌
