Brandon's #1 pick for what line to use, if you could carry and use only one for every serious application, (my affiliate link on Amazon): amzn.to/3WiwCIP
This is for a 50-foot roll of 1" nylon tubular webbing with 4000 lbs. tensile strength. It is easy to tie and untie, holds its knots, can be wet, frozen, muddy, whatever. If you can find 1/2" tubular webbing that is also an incredible material for tying the Trucker's Hitch, but I didn't see it on Amazon.
*************
Learning how to tie a trucker's hitch is one of the most useful life skills ever. Also known as a mover's knot, tie-down knot, or truckers knot, this knot is used to tie down any load by creating a super tight, slip-free knot.
The trucker's hitch is a compound knot that is frequently used for securing loads on trucks or trailers. You can also tie this knot to make a clothes line, rig a tarp, secure drybags on a raft or kayak, and a million other uses.
This knot works with any rope, flat webbing, or tubular webbing. The truckers hitch does not jam no matter how much you load the knot, and it comes apart easily once tension is released.
The knot is locked with a simple half-hitch to keep it secure even when wet or in high wind (while driving, etc.)
In this video I also teach you how to tie a G.E. Knot, which is a hitch to secure your rope to the initial anchor point. The G.E. Knot is also very easy to tie and comes apart instantly by pulling the tail of the rope.
Get some line or strap and practice tying the trucker's hitch while you watch this video. Once you master it, it's a life hack you'll have forever.
