Best truckers hitch explanation I've seen!
Thanks! Nice demo!
only problem with that, its wrong, since you are losing tension at 2 points. you need to wrap the lose end around that loop to get a blackwall hitch. this way you can pull, build up tension and wont lose any of it.
Very good explanation.
Yea for sure I love you this guy.
This is a perfect “Explain like I’m 5” video on the truckers hitch. Great job again, as usual.
So what’s the best knot for the other side?
Benjamin Beebe typically a bowline knot is used on the other end.
Nope, needs to be about 6 less minutes of talking and him just showing how to do it over and over again for 2 minutes. What a rambling mess
3 minutes in and still no knot or hitch, good lord this is tiring
@@benbb1000 bowline in the end of the line, run the line around the tree, pull a small pocket thru the bowline, stick a robust stick in that pocket, pull tight and adjust as needed, and you've created a quick release marlin spike hitch. Pull the stick out, and the marlin spike hitch comes undone easy peasy.
From a retired rigger, those are some magnificent callouses.
That was the best explanation I've ever seen 👍
You should do this for a living 😅😅👊
Ya' THINK!
Children of all ages should experience this foundation.
I am dyslexic. Knot tying has always been a challenge, until now. Thanks to your clear and relatable instructions I have attained a lifetime goal of being able to easily create the truckers hitch. It’s taken 58 years but I have finally got it.

I'M PRACTICING!
🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! That’s beautiful!!🤣🤣
My wife: don't you have enough paracord already?
@@JefCollier 🤣🤣
@@JefCollier define, ‘enough’!!😁🤣
LOLL
Damn! Best vid to walk through a Trucker's Hitch for a person with two left thumbs. Thanks.
2 old ladies here, who really want to go camping and practice our bushcrafting skills. You are such an awesome teacher.
Holy shit, Dan! That's a crochet knot! 😲 It's the starting knot.
💥Mind blown!
I'll need to practice to do it just that way though. I don't usually crochet around trees.
@HH Yeah, they're so silly.😁🙃 I could see knitting needles but a crochet hook isn't even sharp.
@@trishthehomesteader9873 You did get the joke, right?
Teacher to teacher: You're excellent. Always something to learn (content aside) from watching other teachers do their thing really well.
Dude, your teaching style is perfect. Chill as hell and it makes sense.
Even down to the instinct of putting your hand up behind the knot so it’s easy to see, rather than being camouflaged against the background! Such great videos.
Right hand towards the first tie out...first I've ever heard of that...and instructions were perfect...I'm an idiot and this is idiot proof! Thanks!
A year ago I had flu and spent one afternoon watching (and rising through) every truckers hitch video that came up in a search. There are many options, with various different knots involved, but absolutely none had such a good way of explaining how to tie it. I am again ill and am working my way through the tarp videos which are very enjoyable. Thank you.
Dan ... That was EXCELLENT! You are a fantastic instructor ... Teaching is a talent and there are few with your kind of skill at it.
I come back to this video whenever I forget how to do this knot. One of the most useful things I've found on TH-cam.
I feel sorry for the people who pass by this video thinking " I already know this". This really helps me to explain this to someone else...great job
I’ve been to survival schools, and this video taught me way better than I ever did learn at those schools. Your a great teacher.
Thank you for this!
The way that the Navy taught me this hitch was to tie a butterfly knot, thread the bitter end throuh an eye or around an anchor point, thread through the loop, around the anchor poit again, and tie two 1/2 hitches ahead of the butterfly knot.
Wow! 65 years of suffering through that! 😅
Thank you, Dan, for interjecting the memory helps for us knot tying eggheads.
YA I'M 64 N I'M FROM PITTSBURGH PA I NOW LIVE IN ERIE PA I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL THIS CAT HAS HE'S SMART,AND A GREAT ATTITUDE AND HE IS FUNNY AS HELL TKU DAN
lol I like the little story to help you remember. 👍
Fantastic way to teach, thank you. 💜
I'm a truck driver and I've been doing this for the last 35 years and it works. Great
Hey! Your "start-in-an-uncomfortable-position-first" advice is a trick that also works in sports photography. Cameramen who have to use their body to "track" a predictable movement (horse race, for example) start the shot in an uncomfortable position for their body, then move with the action -- thus releasing the muscle tension to end up in a comfortable position at the end of the shot. It seems, in that case, the torque of the body helps smooth out camera movement from start to finish.
I love teaching methods like this, i'm an electrical supervisor and i make little tricks like this to help new employees remember colors... like pink pop = pink orange purple to help remember the order. or i sing that rap song black and yellow while showing them that black and yellow together lol
Dude, your instructions sounded silly. And then I thought about it, and you made clear sense. Again.
You're very good.
I have been unable to grasp the trucker's hitch. I must have watched 30 different videos. Found yours 20 minutes ago and I have tied a trucker's hitch 15 times. THANK YOU.
I just watched 4 other videos on the trucker hitch and I was about to give up. Your video was the clearest, easiest and just down right awesome! Thank you, now I have this knot down.
Seriously, the best video I've seen on this. You're a great teacher.
I'm terrible when it comes to knots.
Always seems that no matter how many vids about knots I watch I can't seem to be able to follow them☹️
This one was great.
Slow, clear, and close enough to see and follow.
I'm sure i can do this🤗
Thanks
Ty vm that was slow enough and close enough to the camera that I could see the way the fingers turn. Now I need to tie it 4000 times lol Ty vm.
I realize this is an old video but you sir are an excellent teacher! Thank you for the video
Brilliant way to explain it. Right hand facing he original tree, uncomfortable to comfortable. Simply brilliant.
Just saw this. Was able to practice in my bedroom. 1st tree was my headboard. Other tree was the shelving a few feet away. Easy! Thank you.
Learned this from my Dad when I was 7 years old...Have literally been using this for half a century, and never knew what it's called. Thank You...
You guys have nemonics and anecdotes for learning almost everything
Wow…!!!!
I’m BLOWN AWAY on how this man explained everything👍
I came here to watch how to tie a knot… but I ended up being amazed… and … ended up LEARNING how to EXPLAIN things with care and perfection.
As a person working in an elementary school… I really do appreciate seeing / watching videos of these wonderful people… and finding videos like these, is like stumbling on a treasure chest out of nowhere 💎
Thank you very much for your wonderful explanation. You’re a wonderful teacher 😄
I rewatched this like 20 times but eventually got it !
Can rebuild an engine but knots dont want to stay in my memory for some reason :D
thanks for the content as always !
Wow! Thanks, that's even easy enough for a thickheaded PA Dutchman to understand!
That’s why I watch your stuff Dan...absolute perfection! Someone else said it...effective and successful teaching is a gift that itself cannot be taught. You, are blessed with that gift! Thank you!! This is a critical survival knot as well as an everyday knot...no one should now not know how to do it!! That’s gold right there!!
*knot know
OMG! I LOVE how he breaks everything down into bite sized pieces!
As a southpaw I didn’t realize the importance of the way you tie this. I’m knot even knew to tying... this was VERY helpful. Thank you.
That whole "uncomfortable" move was amazing! I always have to stop and think when I did that loop, the uncomfortable move is a no-brainer! Thank you!
I went to Air Force survival school in 1974. The trucker's hitch was the most useful thing I learned.
Unbelievably talented instructor!!! My new fav!!!!! Thanks man.
I learnt the knot years ago when helping set up a large marquee. Shown a couple of times and then told to do the remaining 30+ tie down points. It was ingrained in my head quite quickly. Repetition is the key. Although I use the more traditional method of tying it which is more handy when you have heaps of surplus line that you don't need to feed through, I do like this method for teaching. You can easily modify this method to have the line across before he pulls the loop through with the 3 finger grab.
Finally! Away I can teach my grandkids that they’ll remember. We’ll all be “comfortable” now. THANK YOU!
Best video on the trucker’s not I’ve seen! Really clear and easy to follow!
Practically every day I use it.
On my bike with trailer, the other day I picked up a big two piece sideboard. Tie up on the trailer with truckers knotch and go. Big fun.
90% of all automibiles passing by couldn't carry what I was but that's another story.
🔆
Spectacular! I’ve always had trouble with the truckers hitch. But that just made it so simple! Thank you so much!
Great video! Here is my take on this: I watched the video in the lunchroom at work. I muted the video and found all I needed to do was watch and learn.
best explanation of a trucker hitch I've ever seen
Thank you so much from Australia. With the help of your video instructions I am able to finally tie it!!!!!!
BRILLIANT TUTORIAL! I’m of some intelligent, so your methodology is necessary. Other truckers hitch tutorials look repeatable, but are not for me. Thanks soooo much! I owe you yet another $1 🤨🤓👍🖖
Great review! I haven’t tied a truckers hitch in a few years. Now, I remember what I forgot. Thanks 👍🏻
Outstanding teaching method Dan! Thank you.
This is definitely the best tutorial for making a truckers hitch ever. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
i love your delivery. it may be funny, but it works. make yourself uncomfortable, thumbs up, etc... GREAT JOB. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, so that we can have better experiences.
By far the best explanation of the trucker's hitch on TH-cam.
Way to go!!
Seen this before, but this is the first time I’ve retained it. You are an excellent teacher! Thanks for this one.
Just did this with my tarp the other day. This popped right in my head! I got all my lines taught and secure simply and quickly!!
The last two evenings I must have watched over 10 videos and spent 2 hours trying to learn to tie a Truckers Hitch to no avail. After watching Coalcracker I figured out that I was creating the slip knot from the wrong direction. Excellent instruction and tips. Bravo!
Slow and methodical. Excellent instructions!
Some of the best vids on the internet. He gets to the point without being boring. I bet his courses are really good.
OMG THANK YOU. I generally have no problem, but I've never been able to break it down properly and have at times had to start over-- not such a big deal when it doesn't count, huge deal when it does. My buddy was showing me his rapid ridgeline setup the other day and had himself tied in metaphorical knots trying to figure out why his tensioning knot wasn't working like he wanted it to. Sending him this now.
Time to get knotty!! Always good to brush up on knots no matter whether you are a pro or a novice. Thanks for sharing Dan!
5:43 I always tie a half hitch with that last loop just to be sure it holds. A half hitch tied with that loop doesn't have to be very tight, just snug, to prevent the rope from coming untied by accident by something tugging on the leftover line.
Other than that, this is by far the best I've ever seen anyone demonstrate the trucker's hitch.
One of the best guides I've seen for the trucker's hitch. ESPECIALLY, for someone just learning!
Thank you so much! I'm a novice, a very green novice at that, but I can envision myself doing it while my eyes closed with your instructions. 🤘👊👏👏👏
Thats the best instruction on The Trukers Hitch Knot, Iv'e ever seen....Thanks Dan !
That just totally demystified the truckers hitch for me!! Great little teaching trick! Thank you!
Best explanation of this I've seen Dan thank you! You're a gentleman and a scholar
I have tried so many times to learn and remember this. As a Navy cadet I’m more used to sailing knots. I think it will stick now, thanks!
Bro, thank you for sharing. Your so amazing for finding a time and eforrt to share your knowledge. I'm enjoying every video. My favorite channel 2020. Thumbs up.
Absolutely, hands down, the best video I've seen on how to do the trucker's hitch. And I've watched quie a few. Thanks for putting in the time to shoot it and share it with all of us!
Been using this hitch for a long time but when I try to show someone how it's done so now with what u showed us it gunna make it so much easier to teach someone thanks
very nice and easy to follow explanation. the incorporation of mnemonic devices to make it easier to remember is just great using the shelter set up to make the knot tying more relatable is just awesome. Great job!
Thank you! Great close ups and great explanation. As said below, now to repeat it 10 times.
Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH!! Cant wait to put this in practice for keeping my fire wood safe and dry at my campsite. Cant wait to do this!! Keep up the great tips for us
You have a true gift for making complicated things seem simple! Thanks - much appreciated…
One of the first knots I learned. Been using it for over 5 decades. Can't say enough good things about it.
I'm not experienced with knots so this has been my go to knot for years now.
Thanks man!!! This is AWESOME. I've tied this knot several ways but I love your standardized method and explanation. Very cool, you rock!!! 👍
Best Explanation Ever. I've been in knots since I was a boy, Im 62 now. Love the video.
I’ve been trying to commit this knot to memory. Lots of videos. I watched your video once and have it nailed. Great explanation, pace, and physical mnemonic. Thanks!
on a note of safety, one thing I always do for this is place a small stick into the final slip loop and pull it tight around it. this makes a safety catch so even if the line gets pulled (grabbed by accident, gets caught on something, or anything else) the knot can't slip out and make your cover collapse.
We will be at
That h0oker is never gonna get loose, thanks bro
One of the most complete and precise explanations of any knot I have ever seen!!! Keep up the great vids!!!!
Thanks Dan! Another great way to teach the Scouts an old staple of a knot.
Ty, that was aboot the most detailed truckers hitch. A way to getting it perfectly every time. Practiced and practiced until it’s muscle memory.
Done this knot hundred times and thats some of the best advice on tying it. Wow! Love it
First time i have ever been able to do something after only 1 watch. Crazy good explanation!!! Awesome!
Love watching your videos. You make everything you teach super simple to understand.
I think that's the most amazing knot I've learnt! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's really appreciated.
Good job. I've liked tying knots (marine, splices, etc.) for years but didn't know this one. Thank you.
Certainly one of the more entertaining video versions. Also unique; never saw it done this way.
Looked this knot up every time I had to use it an it never came out right this is the best video 100%
Thank you Sir!! Great explanation and demonstration. Absolutely essential knot for a qwik ridgeline. Now, a few prussets, a few stakes, a tarp and I'm in the dry. Great job!
Just watched the double truckers and as you said I realized I hadn’t seen your one-handed tie. Man it’s great!! Thanks Dan!!
Fantastic “how to…”! Camera angle, rope contrast with background, repetition of techniques in review, catchy phrases to remember techniques, and positive and patient instructions all combined to make this a great mini class. Wow! You are a superb instructor and I will gladly JOIN to see more. Thank you!
That's above and beyond a detailed step-by -step explanation; really microscopic . Great tutorial. Thanks a lot.
