Get some rope and follow the video and practice. That’s the only way I learned how to do it. Watching a video is great for learning how to do things but sometimes you need to have the instructions in front of you until you learn how to do it correctly. Once you’ve mastered it then you won’t have any problems.
It does have fluff - the unwarranted and unsupported claim ridiculing of some supposed or hope-for first time knot tiers not being Eagle Scout experts.
You were the fourth video i tried to see and learn this knot: thank you so much for actually getting to the instructions instead of talking for a while about things i dont care about; for not using “technical” language to sound extra smart; for not putting horrendous music everywhere, and for clearly videoing the process. Thank you!
👍🙂 I have been using this hitch for over 50 years my dad drove truck and I learned it from him. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE SEEN DO IT RIGHT ✅️ Thank you for your time 😅
One of the most useful “How To” videos out there on this subject. My grandpa used to tie this setup all the time with lightening speed and precision. I wish I had paid attention better as a young kid.
my Dad is a seasoned trucker and this is his knot of choice, problem is I was the kid who mastered holding the flashlight lol. Thank you for the video and patience.
I think I've watched 20 videos on how to do a trucker's hitch. In terms of production quality and delivery of the presentation, this was the best. Great job.
Rodley, did you know that you just wasted 20000067.3 minutes of your life that could of been spent on Farmersonly.com, a dating site. Find singles in your area now that enjoy truck hitching & 3:1 tie knots in their spare time.
Greetings from Cornwall U.K.. I'm 65 years old and have struggled with this hitch for years you explained it very well. I did slow the video down to get the detail.I have just done a jig around the kitchen ,as at last thanks to you, I have finally got it!!!!! Many thanks.
Awesome! I just learned more about a easy to remove tie down in 2 minutes, than I have in my 58 years of life..and I’ve tied a lot of things. This Old dog got a new trick!😄 Thanks a lot! 👌👍👍✌️
Brandon, This video is now 7 yrs. old but it has been my "Go to" in my files for at least 5 yrs. it's helped me so much. Don't know why your video is so easy to remember but I always come back to it. Really helped me the last 2 days to tie down an umbrella top on my brother's boat. I may have had to watch it 4 or 5 times. to get it down, but I can now tie everything down tight successfully, "Righty tightey" at all 4 corners. Thanks Brandon.
I'm now 67 yrs old, and starting to have difficulty remembering all the knots I've learned, yours are still the best friend, clarity and simplicity meets functionality my friend thank you..@@BrandonNelson
Wow after watching dozens of videos on truckers hitch I was still confused after forgetting How to tie it properly After watching your short and easy to understand demo I am now finally able to tie a great easy fast and very reliable knot. Many thanks for sharing
This is the most useful knot that I never learned in Boy Scouts. Actually the most useful knot I have ever learned. I watched 5 or 6 videos on the trucker's hitch and your video was by far the best. I have shared it with about 10 friends so far. Thank-you for this simple, easy to follow instructional video. Yesterday, I tied down a trellis in the yard so it won't blow over in 100mph winds; 4 rope tie-offs in less then 10 minutes. It took longer to cut off the tangled mess of knots I had created in previous years.
th-cam.com/video/JBh7_cw2-1s/w-d-xo.html Better. More secure, no "pinching" your tension to finish the knot, and quicker to tie. 3:42 for straight to the point, but the explanation and history is worth it.
Brandon I really like your GE knot combined with this truckers hitch combination, I have actually "tested" it against another favorite knot of mine called the Siberian Hitch. I have found your knot to be superior! It cinches down tighter and does not come undone with a dynamic load yet there's no need to cut my line after the trip!!! Thank you.
@@BrandonNelson Thank you, you have sincerely helped me with your excellent video tutorial, as a retired professional truck driver I sure could have used this knowledge a thousand times over as a younger man! I'm still using these knots regularly.. God bless you my friend.
I think it might be structurally equivalent to the Siberian hitch. I think both are slipped figure eight nooses. He just wraps the GE around the standing end and your wrap the Siberian around your hand once, then twist your hand over the standing end for the second twist, if that makes sense. It's always hard to explain knots with words rather than demonstrating them.
That was outstanding!! As others have said I have tried to learn the truckers hitch before but just couldn't get it right. Somehow your video just made it click. I think because you really broke the knot into three separate steps where everything else I've seen does the whole thing all the way through. Thank you so much.
this is the best trucker hitch tutorial i have seen so far, short and easy to understand, and the first part is a saver too! very useful ( most other video only focus on the second part, the truckers hitch, and i didnt know the first part and what i usually do is tie a bowline and loop it through )
Wow thanks dude. Simply explained, straight to the point and important stuff. You have no idea how much time I've waisted trying to tie things down trying to create hitches from my mind.
I agree! In spite of having 10 thumbs, this is an extremely well-presented tutorial. Appreciate how Mr. Nelson effectively coordinates his articulate instructions with the camera. Would welcome more of these. Thank you, Sir.
TH-cam recommended this to me. It brought back memories of my time in the Royal Marines. I still remember the sergeant saying... "FFS Jones you can't tie knots so just tie lots" Happy days :-)
Brandon- You saved my day. I left my ratchet straps in my buddy's truck but I do have rope. You showed me I don't really need them. I might just let Bill keep the straps. Thanks for a great video!
That is awesome. That GE knot is a huge time saver. Of all the crap I got taught in school and the scouts, this would have been helpful. You should do one on the canadian jam knot, another one I wish I had known years ago. Good video!!!
Thank you! That initial hitch is SO much easier to remember, tie, and neaten than a Siberian hitch. Easier to cinch the knot, as well. And the trucker's hitch is the easiest to remember and tie that I've seen.
great video i must say...the other night i had to load a sofa in my truck and had no idea how to tie and felt stupid and did exactly what you said about just making a mess and wishing for the best haha.. here is the reason why i like this video most other videos just show you how to tie. you actually took the time to explain with an actual load..so thank you keep up the good work 👍👍
You make it look so much easier than they do in the music video "Trucker's Hitch" by Ylvis. If you're a knot guy, you would appreciate that video more than most...you should check it out! Since I'm the guy who has always made the tangles you referred to in this video rather than real knots...I'm going to start using these 2 in the future. Thanks!
This truckers hitch has been making my head explode for years. Married a woman that knows how to do it and I refuse to ask her to show me how. Thanks for the great video! 😁
This is the best and easiest video I have ever seen on a truckers hitch and i have watched several. A lot of people try to complicate it! Why I do not know. On the other end I have always tied a boline knot.
I've been using a different variation of the trucker's hitch for 20 years. This way is much easier and more secure. Thank you Brandon! I saw 497 Dislikes and thought, "497 people must have meant to hit the Like button but hit Dislike by mistake ..."
My grandparents started a trucking company when my dad was a kid. My dad was making deliveries when he was 14 and driving full time when he was 18. He's 89 now. This is how he makes tie downs, for real and for true.
In modern days we truckers use ratchet straps rather than rope. This knot pre-dates ratchet straps and was actually known as the wagoneer's knot before it was called the trucker's hitch.
Obviously if you are not familiar with consistently having to secure loads, this will be a foreign puzzle to you. If you want to master it, just practice the sequence until you get it. Not rocket science. Good job, great content!!
Absolutely spot on 'tie what looks secure and hope for the best' and then swear like a trooper trying to undo the resulting mess. Thanks for this, will practice and perfect.
Make it even better by passing the line through the loop one more time to give it a locking action as you put tension on the rope. Also, that GE Knot isn't the most secure as it will capsize under extreme load. I use a bowline even though it isn't a quick-release knot since I know it is a great anchor knot that will come undone easily.
You are a great teacher and amazing guy Mr. Brandon. I’m really impressed by your way in enlighten us and teach us some of the most important things in our life!, so my advice to you not to listen to the comments of toxic people; they will still hate you and hate every successful person just because you are better than them, they are like a cancer to the society.God bless you man and keep going what you are doing.
As a merchant marine that’s well versed in marlin spike It’s also known as a wagoners hitch, harvesters / haymaker hitch in Kansas You should see the survival channels that screw this up completely

You forgot the most important part... after tying your load you have to say the obligatory "that's not going anywhere".
make eye contact with another male and nod.
@@pottymouthmexican the ol Jeremiah Johnson nod
😀😃😄😁😆😅
LOLOL
😁🙌
Am I the only person who can watch someone how to tie the same knot 100 times and when I come to do it I just can’t? Then I end up just tying knots.
lol your not alone brother
Get some rope and follow the video and practice. That’s the only way I learned how to do it. Watching a video is great for learning how to do things but sometimes you need to have the instructions in front of you until you learn how to do it correctly. Once you’ve mastered it then you won’t have any problems.
I found other videos. This guy got so fast and it's so small you can't see anything. This is maybe the worst TH-cam tutorial I've ever seen
Maybe you should have practiced 100 times instead of watching 100 times
If you can't tie knots, tie lots..
Other TH-camr's "Ok, well lets get into the history of the truckers hitch..." Not Brandon. Right to the point.
This is exaxtly what a TH-cam video should be: no fluff, straight to the point, clear, and concise. Great job!!! Thanks!
Much, much, much appreciated Ginger.
100%!
Maybe show it twice with the second time in slow mo? Still excellent though...I refer back to my library to watch again when needed.
It does have fluff - the unwarranted and unsupported claim ridiculing of some supposed or hope-for first time knot tiers not being Eagle Scout experts.
Well said! Exactly what I needed and I didn't have to skip around through fluff.
I used your method to tie down my camper awning. It worked well. Thanks. If you are still following this after 7 years.
I love to read this Greg! Glad you used it and have become a believer, it is a solid knot!
It looks like a great knot.
You were the fourth video i tried to see and learn this knot: thank you so much for actually getting to the instructions instead of talking for a while about things i dont care about; for not using “technical” language to sound extra smart; for not putting horrendous music everywhere, and for clearly videoing the process. Thank you!
Thank you. This is a great video but I would have been a terrible sailor. I have to refer to this every time I need to tie something down. LOL
Hey, at least you know your limitations! Thanks for watching Peter! :)
I love it. All knot nerds should be able to to this blind in an ice storm.
👍🙂 I have been using this hitch for over 50 years my dad drove truck and I learned it from him. YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE SEEN DO IT RIGHT ✅️ Thank you for your time 😅
Thanks brother! It has served me without fail for 31 years.
Nice 👌 I have used 2 ropes and pulled my car out mud using it.
Never seen it made so easy. No fuss, no nonsense, just a easy to do video. 👌
One of the most useful “How To” videos out there on this subject. My grandpa used to tie this setup all the time with lightening speed and precision. I wish I had paid attention better as a young kid.
No, just do what millennials do. Never pay attention and learn something. Just watch a TH-cam video and copy it when you need it! 🤣

How to tie it properly After watching your short and easy to understand demo I am now finally able to tie a great easy fast and very reliable knot. Many thanks for sharing
You are very welcome George!
Thanks.. none of my ratchet straps were functioning but this video with some rope I had laying around did the trick!
Awesome success story!!! Cheers!
this is the third "truckers hitch" video i watched, and the first to explain it simply in less than 2 minutes
This is the first I've seen that actually ties it correctly.
Thank you Brandon exactly what I was looking for. It’s so hard sometimes to keep that rope taunt. Thanks brother.
Glad I could help Matt! Thanks for the nice comment.
God bless you for not taking 15 minutes to talk, and talk. You got right to the subject. Very refreshing. Thanks.
Thank you so much for being fast. We don't have time for slow ass instruction.
That’s exactly what I do. I make a bunch of useless knots. Great video. Spoke really well. Demonstration was great.
The Best, simplest and easiest way to tie the Trucker’s Hitch thoroughly explained in a short and to the point way, period. Thank you !

I would use a knot to make the pull loop, never could remember how to do it this way , very good
Glad it helped you out Phil!
Always wanted an easy Trucker's Hitch - you are a master at explaining - yes, no fluff - thank you
This is probably one of the most useful things you could learn in your life. Thank Brandon, excellent video!
Ok I just watched this 9 times in a row….and I’m going to forget it by morning when I need it. Great video though 👍 well made
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for all the views. :)
My dad had tried to teach me these knots for years. Never remembered them. Time to practice.
For sure, practice makes them stick. I have a bunch of different ones I don't remember either. :) Thanks for watching.
Apprentice electrician here..practiced this during my lunch to fasten some material to the site truck rack. Solid stuff!! Thank you very much!
That is awesome Robert! I hope the jobs been going well!
I've watched quite a few of these "tying knots" videos and this was by far, the most informative and easy to follow of them all. Very well done.

I was just about to type the same comment, so I’ll just say “ditto” for yours
Brilliant. Phew, a video on knots that explains it clearly and slow enough for a beginner. Thank you Brandon.

It’s great but have to use every Day to remember. Or watch your video every time I’m in the parking lot at Home Depot 😆

Yes it was
This has been one of my favorite ones, Brandon. Keep watching again and again........
Thank you Sunchaser! I'll be doing more knot videos.
@@BrandonNelson that is the best news of 2021. Looking forward to it
Came here for the truckers, found the GE which even more what I needed!!!
The GE is legit!!! Glad you liked it.

Actually three knots in one system. Brilliant, now we need a method to remember it.
Thanks for making it commercial free.
Glad you liked it!
The first knot was tricky to catch because of the change in shot, what did you call it, a GE?
Excellent video with good filming angles. I’m a sailor and working with Knots is magical. Just amazing what rope can do
This truckers hitch has been making my head explode for years. Married a woman that knows how to do it and I refuse to ask her to show me how. Thanks for the great video! 😁
You are so welcome!!!
Every time I need to use this knot, I forgot how it is tied.
Same here
Hahaha me too
Lol...
Probably because the instructions in the video are garbage.
will prather yeah they aren’t very good. Check out Tim Thompson’s videos. They are far superior
I've watched tons of video about truckers' hitch; this is the best. Thanks.
I was told “if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot” thanks for the tips Brandon!
For one minute i learnt good and easy tie knot to use for my ute thanks brandon nelson
You are so welcome!!!
This is saved to my "awesome" playlist. Concise yet thorough. Awesome video!
Used this knot many years ago. I can still tie this knot with my eyes closed. You never forget how to do it
Right? You get enough reps in and the hands just know. I'm grateful to be in that club as well, with this one and maybe 3 or 4 others. Cheers John.
This was really useful for me. I used it to tie a surfboard to my car's roof rack.
Thank you for this straightforward and simple video! I have successfully tied down a kayak to the front and back of my suv using these knots!!

I am FINALLY able to correctly tie the Truckers Hitch! 👊🏽
ah NO! that's not the correct way to tie it...but anyway it will do for the purpose I guess

Glad to provide a little connection to your dad, Marie. I lost my dad last December and I miss him every day. Take care.
thank you for producing this video, mr nelson. it helped me today.

Thank you for being so concise. Knot tying videos that take 8 minutes are very tedious.
I’ve watched this video 500 times even at slower speeds and I am getting close to tying the knot. You should be a magician.
Thank you I had to stop on a interstate every hour cause my load was loose and u save my day

Make it even better by passing the line through the loop one more time to give it a locking action as you put tension on the rope. Also, that GE Knot isn't the most secure as it will capsize under extreme load. I use a bowline even though it isn't a quick-release knot since I know it is a great anchor knot that will come undone easily.
@CootShooter
Exactly what I did too...Great MOD..
Finally...someone that uses layman terms to explain what's being done. Thank you!!

That’s awesome Cole!
I like this knot. My dad showed me but i just couldn’t remember. Ur video was just like the way my dad taught me. Thankyou
That is so cool. Glad I could help "tie" you to something you learned from your dad. :) Thanks!!!
I watched many videos how to tie a rope for a truck..your video is the best and easiest
A second pass of the line through the loop formed near the load adds enough friction to allow balance of tying without any loss of tension.
Second pass works best with nylon line......forms a "self locking" knot
Great tip, thanks from 2 years in the future! It works great.
novice knot tying...this is the clearest and simplest video I ever saw. Pretty sure I can tie down anything now. thanks
This is one of the best videos on knot tying - hands down. Let's go Brandon!
