I got a lot of comments on my last video asking why 2 carabiners were needed. Here is more information about it. I got my blue climbing carabiners from REI, but you can also use cheap ones from Lowe's.

*WARNING!!!* Contrary to what's said in the description, *never ever use "cheap carabiners" for securing anything.* There's a good reason why good carabiners always have their strength written on it, into newton's force, and not the cheap ones. Besides that, you can get good carabiners at REI or any good sporting/outdoor stores for a very cheap price. So why save a few bucks (sometimes just 2 or 3 dollars) and risk major troubles? And make no mistake, the trucker's hitch puts a LOT of tension since that's THE purpose of it...

A few jobs ago, I was delivering timber/lumber on the back of a flatbed lorry, and I learned the trucker's hitch without using any 'crabs. I'd just got it fixed in my muscle memory, so I could do it without thinking, then they changed the UK regulations, and we had to use straps from then on. Still haven't forgotten the knot, and still use it occasionally.

@@eonaalythia8525 2" wide straps are probably stronger than rope of a practical thickness,* and they are easier to pull tight. To do the same with rope, you need to be able to do a mildly complicated knot. Once a reasonably intelligent person is shown how to use a ratchet strap, they can do it as well as an experienced trucker. *Once rope is more than about 12mm in diameter, it gets progressively harder to make a knot in it, as it doesn't bend so easily.

@@krovek Yes, I'm definitely not suggesting people change from using a Garda for protecting people! I think you could use the Garda as part of a truckers hitch. I think the Garda is probably harder on the rope, but you're also right undoing is harder so that's probably the answer.

Yeah try that knot on a truckers hitch instead of a rigid body , reason why they pull through the hitch twice is to create even friction so stops knot getting to tight so it can’t be opened , your method creates a shear point as it’s compressing the other line .
