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.
Thanks for this comment! Great to hear. Presenting this knot in its purest/simplest form is exactly what I was going for.
I use this knot several times per week. I find it to be one of the most useful knots out there.
Best clearest instruction, well explained, clearly framed and shot.
I’ve been trying to learn this knot from my dad for years . He showed me this last Father’s Day and I learned it . I love this video . Thank you
Great tutorial. This knot is excellent for securing cargo or setting a tarp line while camping.
If you wrap the line through the loop twice, it will create a lock knot and when you pull it tight it will stay put
Big improvement, thanks
Thanks for the vid ! Simple clear and concise!
Thankyou I was able to tie my mattress to the roof of my car and transport it!
Script. Voice. Visuals. Pacing. Perfect.
😂
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.
Thank,you
Thank u
Thank
THIS is the best. Thank you!!!!!!
You done the knot upside down. Use mechanical advantage, and gravity by pulling down, not up.
Thank you for the video!
This knot is like a usb stick for me. I always create the bite in the wrong direction and the loop ends up tightening on the working end.
Thank you!
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. 😊
I use this all the time for my tarp ridgeline .. works a treat ❤
Wow! How cool is that! ✔️👍🏽🌟
Perfect instructional video.
This is a super hitch well explained. Please consider showing the block and tackle version ^^
This was really great except for the last part. You completely hide what you did at the end
Trucker taught me this at an after school job loading trucks . That was about 58 years ago. Have used it literally hundreds of times since. Even compounded it several times to pull my vehicle out of the mud like a block and tackle.
Cool. Truckers Hitch!
Another perfect example example easily understood
Excellent!
It's not a slip knot, since it doesn't.
Add a second slipknot above the first with some spacing. Pull the loose end through the bottom, then the top slipknots, and pull them tight. This works very well.
Last bit is tricky as your hands are covering what you are doing
Feed the working end through the loop twice and it will hold while tying the halter hitch.
I've used this version sometimes it's hard to untie
That's what all the guys at work use to tie off windows and doors on a rack.
I know the slipknot but I don't know the rest of it and will have to practice many times before I get it.
You blocked it with your hand…
Great for use on hammock install amd shelter ridge
OR since you have the room in this instance, clove or double hitch around your original anchor point so you can further ratchet down your tension and lock it with an overhand safety.
Yes !
The last part is hard to see
This isn't the "Truckers Hitch". This is a version of the Half Quarter Hitch.
the slipknot just cinches when i do this
Not a slip knot it's a marlon spike hitch.
If you take the loop and pass it back through the hole the same way again it is much easier to untie.
Now go back over the rails and pull it thight again.
More leverage.
And you can tie the 2 ends toghether.
Since they move in relation to eachother when tied toghether they won't mobe
From a frustrated beginner: when are video makers going to understand that when your hand is between the camera and the crucial thing you’re trying to demonstrate, the viewer cannot see that crucial thing because they can’t see through your hand?
Why can't we just use the alpine knot and do the same thing??
You can use the Alpine Butterfly as the pulley loop, it's actually more secure than the slipknot. This is just the simplest way to make the Trucker's Hitch.
@@thetautline I see😄👍
That is not a truckers hitch, it's a poor imitation which will never come undone if given a lot of load....rubbish!
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.
Done it hundreds of times “just like he showed” and it all comes apart very easily .If you do not form the loop “exactly like he showed” it will lock up under tension.
Nop.. the firs loop is wrong.
That’s not how you tie a truckers hitch!!! At all!!
That's exactly how he ties it.
dude slipknot
You don’t tie a loop. You wrap it in itself, so when you pull away from tension it all comes apart on its own!
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.
That's not the hitch we use in the UK.
That's the knot I used to use before I was taught a proper Truckers hitch.
We don't use that here in the states either. This is not the truckers hitch, definitely not the one I was taught.
It was also called a dolly because the proper one looks like a doll when done.
I push my fingers into my.... Rope
Slipknot:
I did my time, and I want out!
this one sucks I like the one where you don't need to pinch the loop.
As “taught” as desired
Instructions unclear. Prisoners escaped. Please send kitty cat to untangle large ball of knotted yarn 😯

Truckers hitch
Супер
Why do you keep posting these videos that are not what you claim them to be. This isn't a truckers hitch, and anyone that uses this on a real load is risking failure
My dad knows this knot
Epic
Feedback: thanks. Use actual rope, not string or cord for videos. Easier to see.
I, I know how to tie
Every kind of knot
Except one
hehehehehe imma gonna go listen it again XD
F’ - that, lol
Absolute rubbish. That is not a hitch any trucker would ever use.
What the fuck is taught?
Can you put your hand in the way of what your showing us? Oh, wait. That's what you did... mystery knot
I'm a retired trucker this not the basic trucker hitch this is a phony version of the so called trucker hitch
There are way better trukies then this.
None of the videos I've seen have been this short and to the point. This is the hitch in its most basic form and is the one I always use when I'm at work. I use ropes every single day and this version works perfectly fine. Also, making things complicated only discourages beginners.
Rubbish knot, poor mans dolly knot in my opinion. Spent 30 years driving trucks and I wouldn't trust that knot to hold a load for any money
Perhaps you should pull this video and watch the various videos from First Class Amateur to learn the right way to tie this knot. You'll learn there's no need to pinch anything and you can keep tension with each pull, then release the tension when needed to untie.
Perhaps you should pull this comment and understand what the point of the video is before commentig. Did you even read the title of this video??? the first word is "BASIC" Meaning this is the basic version of the knot, which might be very useful to those that don't need the other version,perhaps don't have that much rope needed for the other version or maybe are not very good with knots and dont want to bother with a more complicated knot that we might not be using a lot.
@@yomero1786 First Class Amateur's video is basic, and far better. It has nothing to do with amount of rope and it's not more complicated.
@@yomero1786 while I enjoy FCA, his version of the hitch uses a progress capture via a pair of carabiners. This video is much shorter than any of FCAs and has its place. I love both channels and I agree that this video is a good one.
@@phoenixrising4073 If you check again, FCA has videos of this knot that absolutely do not use carabineers, are simple to tie and allow you to automatically keep tension with each pull.
Here's the video.

@@fantasticsound2085 oh so it incorporates a progress capture? So what you're saying is it's not the basic version, got it. When I use this hitch with white sisal rope at my job, a progress capture would have too much friction to allow me to use it.
But I get what you're saying. Good day.
That’s not a true truckers hitch… Can you show the proper way?
Yeah, bad truckies hitch
I accidentally figured this one out yesterday at work. @0:48 I call them "quick releases" man i put them shits on everything
