Nicely done. The old timer that taught me the Trucker’s Hitch also carried a pocket full of loose chain links. Whenever he needed an inline loop, he would inserted a link via a cow hitch. The link served a low friction loop. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

Great tip!

To repeat the comment below, I also would like to see a video on the working strength of different hitch knots. A kind of "pull off competition" for lack of description. There are many videos claiming that a certain knots is the best to anchor items, and I have used many on my property to move trees and rocks. I am not experiencing the same results. Nor have I found knots easy to untie. Often needing tools. (I use 3/4 inch timber rope) Thanks ahead of time, Jason. Love the channel! I've learned ALOT (understatement), from your videos!

[@JasonsKnotChannel]

Thank you, and it's a good idea. One day I'll need to figure out a way to do that.

[@Zendukai]

I would like to see each knot put under 500kg of weight (approx) then untie the knot. Love the videos, keep em coming.

Good video, thanks for sharing, God bless !

[@JasonsKnotChannel]

Thanks, you too!

Wow!

The last one - the “Wagoner’s” - looks like the (Australian) Truckie’s Hitch. The primary benefit of this method, not mentioned in the video, is that it can be used without having to pull the working end of the rope through the loop, which is necessary in almost all the other methods mentioned. The Truckie’s Hitch is easy to use even if you have lots of excess rope on your working end, because you don’t have to tediously pull all that extra length through the loop. I believe you may have done a separate video on this previously where you mentioned this benefit.

[@JasonsKnotChannel]

Yes, it's not an Australian method. It is the traditional Lorry's Hitch that's common in the UK and also Australia. Not entirely sure possibly South Africa as well. It's not as secure as the other methods because it uses the Bell Ringer's Hitch (or a half sheep shank) as the main connection which are both intended as temporary knots.

[@MichaelMichelmore-Fegg]

The wagoner's hitch can be improved by twisting in a second securing loop at the top.

[@TJB270]

⁠@@MichaelMichelmore-FeggThat’s how most truckers tie it. A full shank. Still superior to any fixed midline loop for a ridgeline. Dave Canterbury had the best method I’ve seen if you check his video out.

[@TrailguidePictures]

@@TJB270I disagree. Nobody in their right mind would use it to secure objects onto the deck of a sailing yacht where the line would be subjected to high winds and wet weather. The truckers hitch with a bowline on a bight would be a much better choice (two fixed loops and easy to untie).

[@TJB270]

@@TrailguidePictures Really? Remember, I said a full shank.. not a half like shown in the video. You add another loop. If it wasn’t safe, I doubt these truckers would be using it. Nothing wrong with a bowline on a bight though.
