- If you would like to support my channel, you can buy my t-shirt here: fca-merchandis...-sprin... THANKS!
I appreciate my subscribers so, I made this video on how to tie down a propane cylinder.

Hands-down, you have the best knot videos!
FIRST CLASS AMATEUR - You might not have the best knots for the job, but you have something far better, a talented grasp of how things work. I love that you use physics, specifically gravity as active element in your rigging. Top marks. Just because I would tie it differently doesn't make you wrong. You aren't using traditional knots like everyone else, you are thinking imaginatively and that's impressive.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
I don't understand the downvotes, but whatever. This guy understands knots and is a great teacher!
I never cease to be amazed at how easy it is to understand your videos. I am starting a playlist so I can refer back when I need them.
I just put my tanks in a milk crate. Fits snug enough not to fall off when you pick it up and they don't turn over in the bed of the truck.
Same...thought that was common knowledge
That's how I carry them too. The crates are the perfect size for 5 gallon buckets also.
Part of the milk crate crew........but like the rope tutorial and will try sometime
Been doing the same for years. Just thought it was common sense.
Yep. Me too.
Thanks. Keep on providing safety directions
Even if you don't think the knot or method is quite your cup of tea, give it up to the guy for soliciting input then following through. 👍
No no no this is the internet!! If you have a different opinion than me or a different way of doing something I'm going to tell you how wrong and dumb you are!!! It doesn't matter if your method uses less material or secures it in place better. Its not the way I do it so I feel personally attacked!! LMFAO people = shit!
You forgot to say, "That ain't going no where."
FREAKING LEGEND!! so simple instructions and straight to the point with proof on video of what it's talked, love it! this is why I subscribed about a month ago, wish i've found you earlier M8. God bless!
You know you can trust a man with scars on his hands, you don't get those without using them! I'm very glad I found this channel.
Excellent. Thank you. I've been struggling with that job for a long time.
Because of your truckers hitch video showing the working end going back through the loop twice..........sold me on your videos . Because of your videos I have thrown away knots and loops and replaced them with others and have also changed a couple of methods of tying, that's not easy to do when I've been instinctively tying them for 50 years but I have a drill of tying knots every morning and every evening, tying 6 knots and loops at least 3 times each, it's important for me to be quick and efficient. I was a scout in the early 70s where I learned to tie knots that I never used again or forgot , went into the military and learned more knots and loops , many to never be used and or forgotten but through decades of construction and a physical way of life of hunting , camping , fishing, hiking etc....I have been required to tie millions of knots and loops out of pure necessity, never one damn time had I ever tied a knots for my enjoyment .........until now , so thank you for allowing me to prove that you can teach a old dog new tricks !
Great comment, I enjoyed reading it. I’m glad I could give you another look at knots.
Great use of a barrel knot. I usually transport my tanks in milk crates and tie them off. Every now and then I transport them without so this could be handy.
Great knot tip!! When there is no milk crate around.Thanks for sharing
@First_Class_Amateur I need help with a Water Softener Tank System....my brother and I tried moving it from his house and it tipped over. How would you tied it down??
Thank you so much!
ps - this is now for future reference 😅
great video, ive been using old milk crates for holding the 20lbs tanks but they still have a tendency to slide around, tnx for sharing 👍
Your channel is an incredible wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your skills with us in an easy-to-understand manner.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
I agree, good stuff!
Love it! Thanks! Rope is better than straps!
"Knot" a bad idea !
Thanks for the clever tip.
I greatly appreciate your videos and teaching! Thanks for ANOTHER EXCELLENT video!
That tank doesn’t have a chance of moving!
I love the real world “science” test.
Thank you sir 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Another useful, easy to understand video - thank you!
Nice demo. No matter how tightly you secure something, it will slide a little, and over time erode the paint off your truck bed. Anything fixed in the same place will eventually degrade the paint, so I would take a small piece of carpet to slide under the tank in an effort to preserve underlying paint.
Heeeee doesn't seem to be too worried about the aesthetics of his truck bed.
@@ulogy True!! A truck is a truck. It's made to get beat. I know it's hard now a days when you are paying 100k or better. Too many people are buying pickup trucks for grocery getters.
A+ . I thought this was going to be cheesy, but it's actually a very good solution.
That was very useful information thanks for sharing
So excellent, every video unique, very practical and always genius.
I set mine in a milk crate too. Then bungee strap the crate to the trunk tie-downs Makes it easy to just lift tank out and go.
Excellent,now if I can only remember how to do it when I need it.
I always enjoy your videos, buddy! The best to you and your family!
I had to subscribe! Great content
Very cool - so much better than the torture I go through to secure propane - much appreciated…
I just put mine on the passenger seat floor. It fits well in there and doesn't move around much. This also has the benefit of making hitchhikers and first dates nervous enough that I don't have too many people treating me like a taxi. I can't stand faking the accent, so this is worth it to me. It's the little things that matter. Also, I keep the fire extinguisher in the back. I can't put them together or the gas will become too fearful to come out later when there's grilling to be done.
Short and to the point, very nice! Subbed
Keep it going, real liked it, very useful
If you can find a milk crate, the tank will slide in perfectly snug. We keep all our tanks in crates. Makes life much easier.
Nicely done!
That is a great way to secure the tank, although the one part you reference wrapping the handle like tying off a boat to a cleat is not really how you ought to tie a cleat. When you finish around the cleat the twist should land underneath and parallel to the part coming across. It is secure that way and doesn’t require multiple half hitches on top of each other.
I learned something new today, well done
BRILLIANT❣️ Thank you!
That's a good tie. Most people I know let it roll around
I always put mine inside a milk crate. Fits perfectly and much easier to strap in than a round tank.
Your comment is extremely helpful. Thanks!
Hey just a suggestion a propane tank fits perfectly into a milk crate them black plastic ones from the grocery store. I can fit four in a row across the back seat and they won't go rollipolly on you
Damn you got one of those fight club scars on your hand.
Good stuff right there!! Thanks
Thank you, very helpful
Our modern day “Ashley!”
Those down votes must be from jealous people making inferior videos to yours. You have rope solutions for anything!
Thanks!
OK. Nice.
Now how about something with a slick top? Like a 5gal water tank. Or several.
This is amazing thank you. How would you secure a 5 gallon bucket in that corner?
Milk crates also work well for 30 lb tanks. But this knot is good to know
I just bungie a plastic crate in my truck and set the tank in it...PERFECT Fit!
Outstanding.
So useful. Sometimes it isn’t possible to use a ratchet strap for this because the truck has other things in it and sometimes the level of the anchors is too low.
If your rope is already tied to the D-Ring, a half-hitch around the base of the tank replaces the barrel knot slip loop, and then follow the same steps from there. Sweet.
Will those things fit in a milk crate? Think I'd tie it to a crate and then tie the crate down.
You should make a video on teaching people how to eat and breath soon......
Life Hack: A propane tank fits inside a milk crate perfectly! And needless to say it's a lot easier to keep a milk crate from tipping over.
New sub here……..Don’t disappoint me!😂☮✌🏻
Nice. I simply put mine in a milk crate and tie down the milk crate.
I use a milk crate ,tie the bottle in the milk crate and the milk crate to the hook of the truck.
Hank Hill would be proud of you.
What be the best method to secure three 5 gallon buckets in a small pick-up truck bed?
I'm so glad I own a ratchet strap.
LOL... I own ratchet straps and bungee cords... The tying of knots and using rope daily helps build the skill for use when rope is needed.
I sometimes have to use the white twine they give you at Home Depot... (usually when in someone else's truck.)
lol you're missing out on all the fun!
I wonder how this would hold up when driving washboard and rocky roads in the backcountry, mostly about the bite around the mid-section of the tank. Will is stay put?
The is a weld line around the middle of the tank. It helps keep the rope in place, but I’m interested too.
Can your amazing knot-creating mind come up with a way to lash a horizontal pole to a vertical pole (or two) tightly, but in a quick release way? For example, lashing a spade or broom to vertical stanchions on the back of a truck, or lashing up a temporary fence or hurdle.
About what size diameter poles are you working with? Just so I can make sure I figure out an appropriate knot. Thanks!
@@First_Class_Amateur about the diameter of a broom handle 👍
@@bn5055 Jamb knot, some call it an arbor knot, would work.
@@ricdonato4328 sling blade. Some call it a Kaiser blade but I call it a sling blade.
Brilliant. 🇨🇦👍🏼
they are like bowling balls. I use old milk crates in my suv's rear cargo area...
What if the bed tie down is at the bed level instead of near the top like your example?
Had same question, came looking for answers. Will try the lower tie down and if that doesn't work I'll search for milk crates...
Ratchet strap thru the handle of the bottle hook to hook in the bed of truck!Done and Done
Real question is, how'd you tie off your camera to record the shot of you driving?
That is one secure tank, I tell you hwat
instructions unclear hands handcuffed together to my truck bed .
Tips for the challenged.
This was cool. Thanks.
Your camera got more banged around than the propane tank did. Need a better knot for that! Great short video.
If we want to transportate a bigger one? Would you like to teach us. Please.
Just milk crate it and it is done or buy one of those holders for the front of a caravan, bolt it to the floor of the truck........simples done
brilliant
I use an old cooler that 2 of them fit in,, just sit em in and down the road
Hank Hill would have liked and subscribed
I buckle mine in the seat belt in the back seat =D
The canister is tied firmer than the camera
👍
I like it… but the way you pushed the bottle around with 1 hand, it was empty & light - so I felt you cheated 😂. Also I’m short & the sides on my Hilux are high - so I’d need a nail box to stand on. Actually I can’t do this as I’ve got a canopy and a set of full sized draws on the tray, but I can see me using tour technique elsewhere. Always learning.
Nice
I have a cardboard box that fixs a tank snugly. The box sits between my tailgate and my 2x8 wood bed divider with my other stuff.
This is great. What are your thoughts on tying in 5 gallon gas/diesel cans, plastic and metal? Thanks
When I was in the army, we would run a strap through the handle as it was hooked on from both ends of the truck bed.
Nifty
Always put it in the backseat of the truck behind the passenger seat and then move the seat up against the tank nice and secure and cushioned!😏
Put the tank in a milk crate, best way ive found, super easy and never tips over.
"I've had trouble"
Okay, use rope
A real cool hack could be wheel chocks.
I just realized these lessons are being taught by the awkward hand puppet Diego.
Ha, I also get Steve Buscemi
@@First_Class_Amateur Diego would be using those knots to secure his bottle of tequila. So, there's that at least. :-D
Or.....You could just put it in the floor of your backseat inside of a large plastic container and not worry about it. I do it all the time.
This is a five gallon how would you secure a 25gallon
I simply put my tank in a milk crate and secure the crate with a small piece of rope
Can you teach me a better way to tie my shoes?
😂
an old saying....if you can't tie a good knot, tie lots of them...
Do one for 5 Gallon water jugs
Was this video really needed?
