EVERY WOODSMAN SHOULD KNOW

[@williammccaslin8527]

Ive tyed down alot of hay bail an other things an never doubled thru my loop like that, never to old to learn, thx Bro.

[@garywelch12]

I love your outdoor movies. I have hunted with black powder weapons all my life.you have a great knowledge in skills of survival back bush training,and black powder weapons.i lived out in the mountains for 10 years.you have my greatest compliment. Gary.

[@josephkerley363]

This is my most used knot! I have in the passed doubled up in that after I’ve done the one knot instead of tying it off, I’ve taken the remaining end and done another truckers hitch. When cinched down it puts so much tension on the line that it actually snapped. I exceeded it’s maximum load strength. A very very useful and handy knot!

[@mclewisadventures3851]

Wow! Excellent! I've always used the Marlin Spike with a toggle on one end of my ridgeline, and a Trucker's Hitch on the other! This will definitely improve the situation! Thanks brother!

[@cindynelson2889]

I use this knot almost daily.Even my bread bags are half-hitched...haha. Great video Blackie,thanks as always...

[@chevybill1833]

I have been using a truckers hitch for years, but this is way better! Thanks Blackie! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! LOL!

[@tranders365]

I have been using the Truckers Hitch for a long time,but this knot looks even better. Thank you Blackie!!

[@davidweirauch849]

I like it, that works good for me. I am odd, I try these knots out at my desk legs as you guys show them. This type of tip/mod, is very helpful to me, only have the use of one hand. Broke my neck in my early teens. Saying that, and having enjoyed years of camping,my,"kit", is totally different in some regards than others, been told I pack tool heavy. Any time I can find some thing to help, so much the better.

[@edwardmartin1831]

Great knot blackie I will teach that to the Boy Scout on this month’s campout

[@g-palloyd3600]

Blackie, I'm getting pretty long in the tooth, tied a thousand truckers hitches, traveled (even crossed the Oklahoma border more than once! LOL) and yet the first time I've seen this one.....all kidding aside, I really like! Thanks

[@hamm6033]

2 of my most favorite knots. Definitely the most used.

[@misolgit69]

40 yrs ago at the age of 19 I was a uk postal worker and I was taught to tie up my bundles of mail for delivery with the postmans knot which took me years to realise was the truckers hitch or a very slight variation of it of course nowadays they use rubber bands !!!

[@johnthomasjr262]

This is a great knot. I've been pairing it with a modified evenk hitch for my ridgeline. But I love this version of the trucker's hitch especially when you working over chin height.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

This is one of my go-to’s. Except when I do it, I twist that first loop three times before I lay it over like a marlinspike hitch. Seems to untie much easier afterwards. Take care.

[@edreese3514]

Another great video thanks for sharing

[@wastelandviking4547]

hey blackie...great video. This is a knot that ive forgotten since i was in the scouts. great refresher and very well done sir!

[@terrancecoard388]

Thanks...Nice bit of knowledge.

[@aaronschmidt169]

Listen Mr Blackie, you have been talking about making some videos about penetration of percussion bullets for months now, and we have been patiently waiting, so I was just wondering when can we expect to see these videos you have teased us with? Love your videos, you remind of my father a lot, I wish he was still here because I would show him your videos and he would be hooked lol, keep up the awesome videos Mr Blackie! And Thanks for all the great information you have shared.

[@daveb.2018]

That’s awesome man. Love this!!! 👍

[@themiwoodsman7222]

Great cordage tips Blackie , always good to learn a new knot ! TFS atb john

[@MichaelR58]

That was awesome, I'll use this one for sure , thanks for sharing !

[@knifelore1647]

Both of those are fantastic knots for everyone, especially if your an outdoorsman or owna Pickup truck!

[@boomshanka8743]

Excellent stuff, thanks!

[@richardmartinez506]

thank you for sharing.

[@camojoe83]

Excellent presentation, sir. Ever use an artilleryman's loop? It's a non slipping loop (sort of like the butterfly loop) that you can more or less tie with one hand. Excellent loop to use for tensioning setups like this.

[@brucemorton13]

A reference to where one could learn this would be appreciated.

[@thomasbarrett8861]

Thanks for great info blackie!!

[@DeepOwl1073]

I've been a trucker for 25 years, and been using a truckers hitch for nearly as long. (I also twist the first loop 3x as Bushcraft North of 60 said).. I never knew about this variation. Thanks yet again for another useful tip, Blackie.

[@blackoracle69]

my dad was a trucker and i grew up in the cab of a WHITE road boss and roadboss 2..i drove for a few yrs myself..you learn lots out on the road..how to tarp for rain wind..snow..ice..knots you can untie when wet..and frozen..safe journeys

[@DeepOwl1073]

@@blackoracle69 I drive lowbed, and haul heavy equipment. Almost exclusively chains and binders these days, but I have done some flatbed stuff. Tarped a few loads of lumber. The last 5 years have been in my beloved mountains where the Sierra Nevada meet the Cascades. Logging and wild fire work.

[@wendellhagg3511]

Excellent Video !! Old Trucker here !! Thank You, Sir !! H.

[@TACHILL]

Great presentation and knot work there bro. I need to use this more.. more often than not i use the taut line hitch

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Thanks blackie. 🙏👍👍

[@michaelzimmerman8959]

Nice knot, thanks for the video.

[@wolfumphlett1124]

Thank you Blackie, I have seen this know demonstrated at least a half dozen times before I seen this video. For some reason the way you demonstrated seems to click. This video brings a better understanding to this know. Again, thank you and keep the good stuff coming!

[@blackoracle69]

Glad it helped

[@treybrunson5276]

awesome video brother. as always

[@campfiretrickery]

Great info blackie, so it's a simple slipknot with a tension loop and locking loop with a halfhitch to secure . I like the simplicity of it thanks for the info

[@stevekingsbury7190]

Thanks Blackie, I've used the trucker for many years. The truckie is a nice improvement.

[@dm1523]

Years ago in scouts we had some leaders that grilled into us the Butterfly Hitch. An old loggers knot.

[@nathanreed9454]

Good knot, I use it all the time.

[@olalabamahillbilly9677]

Hey blackie, is there any medicinal plants or trees that a person can use for first aid??

[@blackoracle69]

[@toddgibson9861]

No better way to tie a ridge-line....!!!

[@glennfyfe1357]

Thanks.

[@RomeoWhiskey692]

Trucker’s hitch ? I was taught it was a teamster’s hitch . Used to secure loads on a horse-drawn wagon .

[@campfiretrickery]

Hey brother what about some simple tackle and bait knots for the woodsmen .

[@blackoracle69]

on the way

[@wapsiriverscout543]

Good Stuff

[@Wendy-op3bu]

Bank line seems rare. Blackie, how about if one could craft one with their own wax?

[@blackoracle69]

it could be done

[@badhat3051]

another good ol goodern

[@paulotoole4950]

This is bizarre as I use a truckers knot a lot and it is half a sheep shank so I have been doing it wrong. I wonder what knot I have actual been tying?

[@Drunk_koala]
