Knots are like funny jokes; I can never remember them 😔

The first time I learned this knot and the clove hitch were like magic to me, I found both to be incredibly useful and it just blew my mind to see rope behave like a proper tool.

This guy helps prove there can be beauty in almost any honest endeavor. That is simply a beautiful knot. Relatively simple. Works beautifully. However, I will not be able to remember this knot in the future when I could really use it. But I will recall that there was some guy on the internet showing this beautiful knot that I cannot, for the life of me, remember.

My father rest his soul, was in the Navy as a young man. He used the truckers hitch everytime we tied stuff on the roof of the car. RIP Dad 💖

The way he whispers in complete awe "oh my god"

Been shown this about 500 times now and never can figure it out when I need too 😂yep

Knowing how to tie knots for different circumstances is totally underrated! Nicely done!

There's about 20 different truckers hitches. This one's different from the one I use, but I like it's simplicity.

Almost brings a tear to my eye seeing someone with knowledge.

Makes it fall, effortlessly, when that person shares it directly, effectively, and kindly.

Guy loaded a mattress on my roof and used this technique and I was just so impressed by how simple and effective it was. Have used it ever since because it's just very practical.

My dad taught me this knot when I would go with him to work doing landscaping. Miss you dad. Thank you for ❤️

[bobbyz]

I've watched so many of these, and I still don't remember how when I needed it.

[craigfuhr]

RESPECT for any man who knows his knots!!

My old man taught me this as a kid, never forgotten it, on the rare occasion when I use it people are generally impressed, you can even repeat the knot again for even more tension. This and my shoe laces have got me through life ok

[anonymous]

I was taught this knot by my first boss. Never forgot it. Thanks kev.

[mariog]

That’s it! That’s the one dad taught me or at least tried to teach me as a kid on the farm. It’s the original tie down. I miss you, dad.

My dad was in the Seabees during the war after the war he became a truck driver and all his life he taught me every knot that I know he was a good man and I miss him

[parkfarm]

I've heard it called Trucker's hitch, wagoners hitch, shortener hitch, and here in Australia it's truckies hitch. I've used it thousands of times to tie loads on a truck, strain fences, move loads, even used multiple hitches in series to multiply the power and pulled a vehicle out of a bog.
Great rope knot. Many ways to tie it.

[fadedlight]

My dad wasn't even a trucker and I saw his knot wizardry growing up. It's just cool

[rensol]

People like this man should be leaders of our country. All solutions, no BS.
