- Is the POWER CINCH better than the TRUCKER'S HITCH?
The Trucker's Hitch is a compound knot commonly used for securing loads on trucks or trailers. A compound knot is a knot which combines two or more primary or common knots to effect a purpose. Although the Trucker's Hitch has the term "Hitch" in it's name, it could also be argued that the Trucker's Hitch is a Binding knot.
The Trucker's Hitch is known by several different names, such as the Trucker's Hitch, the Wagoner's Hitch, The Lorry Knot, The Haymaker's Hitch, The Harvester's Hitch, and The Power Cinch.
This video is meant to introduce the idea (the knowledge) that many knots are known by different names and knowing the names is part of having a deeper understanding of the knots themselves.
I remember years ago, a man from the United Kingdom asked me if I knew the Lorry Knot. He told me it was one that he always had trouble with. I didn't recognize the name and said "no, I don't know it." A few days later I discovered that the Lorry knot was the Trucker's Hitch and a knot that I've known for years. Had I realized that I did in fact know the "Lorry" then I could have easily shown him how to tie it.
These are all popular knots and can be found in Ashley's book of knots and other knotting books.

Nice!
A lobsterman that used to work on his dad's fishing boat showed me the chicken knot for forming the "pully." He said it is easier to untie in wet, freezing weather when they wanted to untie their traps. Form a bite in the standing end and twist it 2-3 times. Pull a bite from the running end through the new loop and dress. Basically, it replaces your loop with a twisted bite. It works for me.
To lock in tension:
Passing the working end through your "pully" twice creates an awning hitch that helps hold tension on the line. With the addition of two half-hitches, you have a midshipman's knot.
I was shown this not by an elderly gentleman years ago and have I have refined it with information from others and adding features of other knots.
I use the figure eight knot in the standing part of the rope then take the working end and put around an object that I want be effected by the tention. I then come back to the bite pulled through the figure eight on the standing part of the rope and pull the working end through the bite and pull to apply the tention. When I have achieved the desired tention I pinch with my thump and index finger the working end right where it goes in and out of the bite. You can hold a great deal of tension with that grip. Then I wrap the working end around both of the working lines at the bite then form a bite in the loose working end and slip it the gap between the working end coming from the bite on the figure eight and where the working end wraps around the two lines and while pinching the ropes at the bite pull the half-hitch tight. All the knots are untied by pulling on the working end.
I first learned this as the Power Cinch knot. Thanks for another great video.
Hello there. Great knot to know. I can use that on the back of my 4 wheeler to tighten the load. I usually use bungee cords along with rope
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !
If I'm using the trucker's hitch, I'll always use the knotless version that falls apart without any need for untying.
There are still knots
@@JasonsKnotChannel The point is when you're putting as much strain on the rope as a trucker's hitch, being able to shake it free without need to untie anything is invaluable, trust me.
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. any slip knot, like the one ☝️ in the video is easy to untie
@@JasonsKnotChannel It depends on your rope; and again, it's not *zero* effort, which is why I'd choose not to tie any knots that require any effort to remove if I can.
@@WahrheitMachtFrei.what you prefer isn't gospel.
There not the same and the Truckers Hitch is far superior !
And your argument being?
No, I prefer the truckers hitch all day long. Your one was weird and cinches up when I doesn't need to.
