Best truckers hitch explanation I've seen!

I come back to this video whenever I forget how to do this knot. One of the most useful things I've found on YouTube.

This is a perfect “Explain like I’m 5” video on the truckers hitch. Great job again, as usual.

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!

OK so I have to say this is, without a doubt, the most genius way to teach a truckers hitch. You deserve an award for creating a foolproof technique for teaching something that so many people have challenges with.

Please consider teaching math or English.
We need more teachers like you.
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 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.

Holy cow! Of all the many videos I've watched about trucker's hitch, this is the best explanation/tutorial. I can explain it this way to my kids.

Finally! Away I can teach my grandkids that they’ll remember. We’ll all be “comfortable” now. THANK YOU!

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

[Jusoon]

This was like magic, i've been fumbling with a trucker's hitch for a while. I followed these steps and actually said "Wow" when it was over. Thank you so much

Dan ... That was EXCELLENT! You are a fantastic instructor ... Teaching is a talent and there are few with your kind of skill at it.

[calebmarchent]

Just want to say many thanks for your video; it saved my bacon today, I urgently needed needed to secure a pair of tarps to protect my log cabin build; while I did watch others about tensioning knots, the way you explained is made it so easy to remember - Thank you!

[ShaynaNM]

I learned a lot camping with my family and was even a Girl Scout in Wisconsin where we did winter camping in the snow. I wish we'd had you as a "guest instructor" way back then.
Very glad to be learning from you now though! I enjoy every episode I watch.
