    If you feed the working end through the slip knot twice, then you will have good tension to secure the knot without pincing it.

    Thanks for uploading this. This is the trucker's hitch in its purest form and is exactly what I use at work. We use white sisal rope which holds knots very well. It holds so well that I'm not even sure some fancy progress-capture would even allow the rope to slip and tighten, forcing me to use this basic form of the hitch. I love these simple, easy to understand, videos; they help beginners get into the "hobby" without discouraging them with all these complicated add-ons. As one progresses in rigging, they can then make the decision to spice things up a bit with variations. Thanks again for these videos. I consider the trucker's hitch as one of the most useful of all time.

    You can also use an Alpine Butterfly for the loop instead of a slip knot, it will be far easier to untie after it's been under load. Plus, it's a good excuse to add a really cool knot to your mental collection. 😊

  • @catmanlll
    @catmanlll Рік тому +4

    Just don't be tempted to add too many loops in an effort to reduce your pull because you can easily exceed the test strength of the line in this manner. Every line has a load rating or a line test strength. No matter how you go about it through adding leverage or more pull. If that rating is exceeded, the line will park. Resulting in death if you're not quick enough to get out from underneath the piano as it plummets to Earth.

      Exactly…there’s so many of these videos that do a truckers hitch incorrectly. That so called “slip knot”will be impossible to undo once you put some serious tension on the rope.
      A pair of open hitch loops works way better.

    • @rawpraisehorn5716
      @rawpraisehorn5716 Рік тому

      Wrong ,done it hundreds of times , just like that. Pay closer attention to how he formed the loop, it pulls equally on the loop AND the part of the line that continues down to the anchoring point and then goes back through the loop. If you form the loop backwards or in a different manner it won’t work then it will tighten up and make an unremoveable knot.

    • @rawpraisehorn5716
      @rawpraisehorn5716 Рік тому +1
