In-line Automatic Truckers Hitch. Tension locking.

Here is a version of the trucker’s hitch that turns your rope into a ratchet strap. If you prefer knot videos, please leave a comment. Subscribe if you are to be so kind. Thanks!

My past video shows me threading the free-end of the rope through a tied-in loop. That would be inconvenient here because of the long length of rope. This version lets you tie the hitch without having to find the end of your rope and pulling it all the way through your loop. #knots #paracord #rope

After watching this video 6 or 7 times, I finally get the trick to this knot. The trick is to always remember to carry ratchet straps in your vehicle!

I use a considerably different version of this as a "trucker's hitch" and have done for many, many years. I've never seen this technique and I like it much better than the way I've been doing it, so thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. As an old man, I'm just amazed at what can be learned these days on this platform, but it's only because guys like you take the time to make content and are willing to share with the rest of us. So, sincerely, thanks!

My Dad was an old school trucker and he taught me how to do this years ago. He would use it to tie all sorts of machine parts to his trailer - an incredible knot.. trouble is, I have never gotten it right when I need it.. He has been dead for years but I can still hear him standing behind me 'tutting' when I get it wrong!

Genius, always hated tying the TH off under tension. This is a revelation, thank you for sharing👍

I agree with the positive comments & after trying it all I can add is that this form is a game changer for ease of tying down & then ease of releasing our tie downs. Remember a good knot releases as easily as it initially ties.
Back in days of yore when we tied our payload down with rope we never saw stray ropes laying on the roadside...now there is never one trip we don't see at least one webbing ratchet strap laying malevolently on the road waiting to flick up & crack a windscreen.

Tried this knot a couple times after watching and so far it seems to work exceptionally well. It’s very satisfying being able to keep the tension with each tug. Greatly appreciated, sir! Thank you for sharing!

As a rock climber I love these tips and tricks. They can come in handy in many situations.

This is by far the best trucker hitch on the entire Internet.

[PerryEarl]

Brilliant!!! I love that this is done completely "in-line", unlike the other "truckers hitch" that I am more accustomed to. Thank you for this demonstration, sir!

[alanrhoades]

Thanks for telling us about this awesome knot. I’ll teach it to the Scouts this summer during camp. I’m sure they will enjoy it immensely!

Knot tying is like sleight of hand magic. You can show me how you do it, and explain every step along the way, but it's still magic to me.

Well I've watched for the 5th time tonight and can finally do it with Paracord across the arms of a chair! Im willing to bet a paycheck tomorrow morning I want remember and the next time I need it I'll be going back to this video since I saved it 😂

[Gruin]

I've done Trucker's Hitches all my life.
By far this is the Best One,
I have ever seen and experienced.
You explained it Well and your Video was Spot on.
Thanks for Sharing your Technique with America and the World Beyond, Great Job.

Nice, I just got it to work! It's like a magic trick. I will practice more so I can pass it on, this is a gift gratefully received.

I have been tying truckers' hitches for thirty years, at least. I teach knots to stagehands, and have been teaching truckers' hitches for the last fifteen, at least, in my class.
Today I was a student.
Tomorrow, I teach this knot as my truckers' hitch.

[dkruitz]

Skip to 5:14 when he does a recap, the first 5 minutes is confusing. Great looking hitch am curious to try it!

[jobobminer]

Well done teaching the knot. Only needed to watch the video once and I tied the knot first try without reference.

[pappysproductions]

This is great. I love your videos. Everyday, I secure packages in my promaster for delivery. I love how i don't have to pull my entire cord through the eye. Also, you showed me a different way to set up my impossible shackle. ❤

excellent noeud: j'y suis pas arrivé du 1er coup mais après quelques essais, ça marche très bien et je peux maintenant le reproduire

I had no idea that Steve Buscemi knew his knots! Excellent instructional video!
