That underhand loop to secure the running end to be used for others things is amazing! Ive just started using the Truckers Hitch for stuff and never really understood it. Your video is clear and simple. Thank you!
New subscriber. Thank you! I'm going to practice this ASAP. I appreciate that you get right to the point and don't make us listen to five minutes of blah blah blah before getting to the demonstration.
New hammock camper here. Been getting everything together to go on my maiden hammock camping trip in mid July to North West Arkansas. I have been watching all kinds of “How to Tie Knot Videos”. By far, you are the easiest to understand and follow step by step. Thank you for making this easy to follow video.
Very well presented. Most people screw up teaching knots and line work to degree you have to watch it half a dozen times to even get started trying it yourself. You were so clear, one viewing would teach a child! Thank you.
The Bowline / Truckers Hitch is SUCH an effective combination. Easy to learn, easy to set up fast, and not to be overshadowed... easy to disassemble when done!
Long time ago, but this young lady did an excellent job explaining her knots, the bowline was very well laid out, and the slip knot with the keeper will come in handy for everyday use
Jessie Krebs is a field tested bad ass for those who are not familiar with her work. I once joked that the USAF was a paramilitary organization...

Kudos to Jessie Krebs former USAF SERE instructor. Wish there were more vids posted on YT of her doing her job.
@@ThePrepared Fantastic news! Good luck pinning her down... I can only imagine she keeps herself gainfully employed and then some. Look fwd to the new content when able.
Thank you kindly MrSmithChart! Recommendation much appreciated! I'm heading up a civilian based SERE school now that is slowly gaining ground: www.seretraining.us. I much prefer being in the field to the office though so The Prepared and I are a good collaboration for me! Anyone to help me reduce typing time is much appreciated! Thanks for watching!
I didn't know you could make a bowline this way! Always made a bowline and used that loop to attach it to the tree with a slipknot. This is so much easier! Quick and to the point as well. Thank you so much.
I agree it's pretty cool but you can do the same thing tying the bowline conventionally. Make a "six" (a loop) in the standing part (just turn the standing end to make the loop), run the bight end around the tree, pass it up through the loop in the standing part, then run it around the standing part (left or right--it doesn't matter) and back down through loop. It's "the rabbit jumped out of the hole, ran around the tree, and jumped back down the hole" method, but the "tree" is the standing part and the loop that goes around the post is the bight end.
Knew about the trucker's hitch, but thanks for that stick idea. All these years and I never thought of that one. Then when I saw you do it I about facepalmed myself unconscious because it was so simple. Also making the bowline that way was new to me too. Thanks.
Now i'm really happy about TH-cam. You did this video 5 years ago and today I learned from you I have watched several other videos for this hitch Your version is by far the easiest and the fastest to do. Also your version of the bowline is very cool!
Wow... I learned both knots as a scout and now I am a scoutmaster... Like so many other comments, my mind is blown with the Bowline. So simple it makes me ashamed to admit it..lol. From this point on, no more "rabbit around the tree ". This will be how it is taught... thank you
Ah! Bless you! When I teach knots I ask if any of the folks know the bowline or remember something about a rabbit and a tree. If they don't or seem shaky, I teach it this way instead. Some still prefer what I call the "boy scout" way of learning/doing it, though I call it a snake, not a rabbit! I think for those that really struggle with knots it still has merit! I've been tying it this way for almost 30 years now and definitely prefer it over the traditional method. I'm happy to spread the magic. I recently heard a great name for it: the "snap" bowline.
I've used these knots for years. The hard way, until today. edit: Seriously, this video is exceptional. Anyone new (or old) to knots should be right here. Many thanks, and Blue Skies to ya!
You make the knots clear for beginners.I am getting more confident with tying bowlin and hitches because of you teaching skills.Keep up the great work.
agree - trying to find the knot my father-in-law used. Almost 50 years old and mind blown. Love this video being fun and to the point - and her smile IS contagious too!
I did not know this way of tying bowline. Was impressed. Overhand also fit to fix the loop. Nice teacher. Very clear, very useful. By the way, English for me - foreign language, but I understood almost all words. Very proud.
I've watched this video damn near a dozen times in the past week. Your bowline, halter and truckers are the best explained and best methods I've seen. Hardly any reason to tie a bowline the old fashioned way. Boyscouts done me wrong. Thanks for this one. Can tie these your way in a quarter the time it used to take me.
I'm so glad you like it! Boy scouts are doing their best, and at least it gets folks out there and playing! Perhaps you can take this method back to them and spread the love! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
When I learned the Trucker's Hitch years ago, it was a revelation! Securing the hitch I've always used half hitches. I really like your method of securing the knot! Thanks.
One of the BEST tutorials I have seen on TH-cam. Got my subscription. Thank God for Solar powered battery packs & an iPhone so I watch more from the discomfort of my shelter I just learnt how to put up :)
I like her method a lot, but I use a one-handed method to tie bowlines that blows that away. There are a lot of ways to tie the same knot, so everyone can have choices.
This is a wealth of highly useful knot & tarp skills. You did such an excellent job of teaching it too. Thank you. This should be a training resource for hundreds of years.
Genius. Easiest bowline I've ever seen. Trucker's hitch clearly explained and using toggles to peg out tarp very clever. I usually use shock cord prussic loops. This is a nice minimal way of doing things. Thanks from the UK.
God bless you lady I have been wanting to know this stuff for years but life happens and it gets my knots get passed over thank you so much words don't come to me to express my excitement my thankfulness and I will use this you have given me a gift thank you for sharing
There is so much content out there about people living off the land, or 7 nights alone in the Canadian wilderness but it's more vlog/diary style. I want to see how these things are done and this video alone is almost all you would need for a tarp shelter. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I use similar knots when setting up my tarp using trekking poles. Simple knots equal quick set ups and take downs which are especially appreciated in rainy or windy conditions.
@@dirtyslag2612 and Robert, you are both spot on! I mostly taught folks that didn't want to learn for the first 25 years or so (in the military at SERE school and in wilderness therapy) and now get to teach those that do. It makes a world of difference! Thank YOU for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Seriously, FANTASTIC video demonstration. I usually use figure 9 carabiners, but with this video I can get rid of them and just use the rope! Thanks so much. I’ll be sharing this video for years to all my hiker/backpacker friends!
Jessie,I watched (and saved 😊) this video before and am watching it again. I've come to the thought that I would LOVE to spend a day with you just to pick your brain and learn from you! Keep up the great work
Thanks Guy! I have a school I run out of Denver but tend to flit around the country teaching. You can find the classes on my website: www.seretraining.us and also subscribe to my newsletter that outlines other ways to connect and places to find me teaching during the year. I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I like it! The loops through the grommets with the sticks was awesome. I had to rewind that first knot that magically became a bowline three times! It was like a magic trick. Thanks, you are cool. First time here.
WAOH. Im watching you on Alone seaon 9 right now!! I saw this video way back when it first came out, now its June 2002. I still refer people to this video. Congratulations Good luck I love your channel! Stay gold.
I was taught that knot she just did many years ago, but we never knew the name of it. The only difference was that we did not make the first loop a 'slip' like she did. I think I'd like the 'slip' knot better as after we were done cinching ladders and pump jacks to the top of the contractor's work trailer, we'd have a heck of a time getting that loop out of the rope! I don't know why this was in my suggested section, but glad it was. Thanks for this great video!
Glad you liked it! You can put a couple more twists in the slip loop before pulling it through as a modification which makes it even easier to undo when taking it down. I really like the versatility of the trucker's hitch. There are so many ways to modify it for various uses and still get the 3:1 or more mechanical advantage. Happy tying!
I've learned to use that trucker's hitch while in the Army. I didn't know what it was called, I just played with 550 cord until I found something that worked. Your video made it WAY easier for me to make a slip knot though, in the middle of the line, and the saftey knot to keep it secure is awesome. Thanks!!!😊
I have been hammock/tarp camping for like 15 years... Was using a bowline and a tautline hitch... you just cut my set up and tear down time in 1/3rd I'm pretty sure. That variation of the bowline, the trucker's hitch, and the trick with the stick.... are all amazing.
Thank you! I can't tell you how many of these Knot videos I've watched to learn how to tie this! too many. This one was very clear thanks for making it easy! I feel more confident after watching this than any other video.
Awesome instructional video. I have been doing the truckers tension loop knot thing to secure stuff in a truck for a long time, but was doing it wrong. it worked, but didn't come apart easy. Thanks! and PS, 23,000 likes is great, the 800 some people that took the time to hit thumbs down, I pray for you to find a life. This is 100% positive energy and good information here. thanks The Prepared! Peace
I agree who can thumb down a knot tying session. Once learned the truckers hitch can be remembered. I use it more often than ratchet straps for most load tiedowns. Pulling on a TH you can pull a rope in two before the knot will ever give way and still it disassembles very easily. A good tie knot has no hard knots
Oh my! I have watched so many videos about this just so I could hang a short clothes line between two posts and the directions were always so confusing. The line seemed tight till I tried to hang something on it. The tightness was done by pinching fingers and pushing or pulling the line taught ....in any case. I’m in my mid 70’s. My fingers aren’t doing that. Then I saw your video with the pulley. Wow. I just hung two short lines in my yard and the sheets aren’t touching the ground! And it was simple....not “over this way and under that way and around and through”....whew! Women just make it easy. Thanks so much.
This is one of the best videos on knots I have seen. It made me realize that knots come in modular parts that one can combine to achieve a desired purpose.
Great! You are absolutely right, I think knots are best taught using a modular concept, and I find it fun to break complex knots down into simpler components for learning. Nice observation!
@@pugk9unit obviously. I'm not from the US and I've never heard about these ropes. Seems to be super nice. I think I'll check out the european paracord-shop soon :D thx a lot for the information
I enjoyed watching your video. You make hard steps so easy. I was in Boy scouts for many years and all we did when erecting tents is to join tubes and drive skates into the earth. Kitchen personnel strung ropes to trees then to vanity sheets
After over an hour of trying to understand other videos and trying to make it happen saw yours and a couple mins later job done! THANK YOU for keeping it simple and having an amazing way of showing it the easy way 10/10 ! 🏆
That underhand loop to secure the running end to be used for others things is amazing! Ive just started using the Truckers Hitch for stuff and never really understood it. Your video is clear and simple. Thank you!

Ever tried an Evenk hitch?
That's not a bowline knot.
Try to untie that knot after you cinched down on it.
Oh, also agree with previous comments about no nonsense, no extra music or fluff- just clear, simple instructions! Well done
The trucker's hitch has proven itself to be one of the most useful knots that I know. I've been using it for over 30 yrs. Good video!
Thanks! It's one of my favorites as well.
That is one of the best truckers hitch videos on youtube. Very concise an easy to follow.

If you put line twice in the loop for hitch it holds itself and you don’t need to pinch line to make loops. Best video I’ve seen

I can’t believe how many backpacking trips I struggled through trying to discover these things for myself. Thank very much. Perfect video!

Thing of beauty.

That was the absolute best video I've seen of how to secure a trucker's hitch. And a bonus of how to use toggles. Friggin well done!
Holy crap, all these years I've been making bowlines the hard way, now I see this. :)
Yes! Feels pretty foolish doesn't it..
This is a variant of the hand loop way of tying a bowline. Once you see it, nothing is the same again. :-)
Me watching yet another video with a bowline knot... "WAIT WHAT DID SHE JUST DO?!" lol
This variant is used to tie a boat to a Ballard. The knot I basically formed before coming the dock.
I like her method a lot, but I use a one-handed method to tie bowlines that blows that away. There are a lot of ways to tie the same knot, so everyone can have choices.

Probably the best demonstration of the truckers hitch I have seen so far.
10-4

Super useful tutorial. I’ve come back to this particular tutorial multiple times to learn and relearn the knots
Thanks. One of the best instructional videos I have ever watched. Very intelligently presented.
I enjoyed watching your video. You make hard steps so easy. I was in Boy scouts for many years and all we did when erecting tents is to join tubes and drive skates into the earth. Kitchen personnel strung ropes to trees then to vanity sheets
Simple. Clear. Effective. Thus, excellent!
Best demonstration and instruction of common knots I’ve seen! Thanks
After over an hour of trying to understand other videos and trying to make it happen saw yours and a couple mins later job done! THANK YOU for keeping it simple and having an amazing way of showing it the easy way 10/10 ! 🏆
That’s one of those things that you have to do over and over so you can do it without thinking about it. Nice video!
