How To Tie a Truckers Hitch in detail

There are many methods in tying this age old knot system. Take a look at my Timber hitch, slip knot, slipped half hitch tie off method.

[@TheHuntForSupper]

Great tutorial. Looks like you not only did a wonderful job but that you also gave that tree a hug. Congrats!

[@kevalbertmooka]

I think that was the best demonstration on KZbin, thanks.

[@bouelf]

Best knot tutorial on KZbin. All the other videos on KZbin are more confusing than helpful

[@IsaacNussbaum]

I like you, Jim. You come across as a real and natural guy.

[@tonyrowe1455]

Thanks for going into detail! Some of the other videos just do it all quick and sailor like so I appreciate it

[@kevinwiens4804]

Jim as a climbing instructor, you are world class. I would trust you and your instructions with my life. Why? because you truly know how to teach. Less is more, in this video you teach not one but 3 different slipped hitch knots? That flat out work! I love you're quick release "No Knot" videos"...Thank you.

[@kadillacus1]

Jim, I'm a colossal dumbass. Your method of doing it over and over again in the same video is outstanding. By the end of the video I totally understood it and I'm able to do it. Awesome.

[@tjjfitz]

Me, too! I’m very impressed by the way you repeat steps and go to close-up views of your line and knot work.

[@jakeski3142]

100%

[@dienekes4364]

I figured this out myself a few years ago, except for that last piece where you go through the loop a second time. I just learned about that in the last few days. This is the only video I've seen where it is _clearly_ explained that the second time around needs to go _under_ the first one, so thanks for that little piece of info!

[@darkestbeforedawn8130]

I could have directly looked for a tutorial on how to tie this knot, what you usually get is some form of sleight of hand rope magic with references to other knots that you don't know and are confused by...THIS is how you teach a guy like me, loved the intro too!

[@davecarpetcare]

Excellent. Clear and concise. Well photographed (videographed). No diesel trucks passing in the background with blaring horns. No shaking camera. YEA!

[@akflyer129]

What not to like here? Totally awesome!

[@fcon2002]

Thank you. A really great job of explaining something that is difficult to follow. One of the best instructors for this.

[@markturner1015]

Dude I’ve watched a ton of videos on this knot and your walk through is far superior, you da man!

[@Dang6986]

This is by far the best how to on tying a truckers hitch that I came across while trying to learn a few knots. I bought a kayak and transport it on the roof of my car. I didn't like having straps in my line of sight for bow and stern tie downs, and wanted to use some good cordage instead. You made it very easy. I was so happy when I was sitting here trying to tie my chair to my desk while watching and I got it right. Thank you!

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Thank you so much for the compliment!!!! Really appreciate

[@ponyrang]

That's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Thank you very much!

[@adammcarthur4561]

Legend! That trick for making the slipknot is a life saver. Thanks mate.

[@tanoshiifun9321]

Thanks, man! On my breezy rooftop terrace in Austria, I now have seven tomato plants climbing securely up nice tight strings to a horizontal pole above. You're a great educator!

[@theleadernextdoor1464]

Thank you so much for the kind words!!!

[@SuperMarkito1]

Best tutorial! Thanks!

[@HarryPotter-dg5qw]

Great Video. Thanks

[@danielaggeler9263]

These are very cool techniques. Thank you. I have used a different half-knot style hitch to tie down brush and loads on trucks that use a little different method. Your method unties easier.

[@Daniel_Megaptera]

Very nice, best tutorial video i have seen so far for the trucker's hitch 👍🏼

[@thecosycamper7088]

Awesome step by step guide, thank you 👍🏻. New subscriber ❤

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Thank you. I’ve been watching knot videos for half hour and yours was the first one that was thorough enough in its explanation for my monkey brain to understand fully. Others made assumptions on my skill level and left out steps that made it difficult to follow.

[@satyris410]

Take a bow man that video was amazing. you know you're doing something right when 9 minutes and 20 seconds pass in the blink of an eye.

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Best compliment ever. Thanks!!!!

[@keisreeman]

Thank you for the timber hitch. I probably did it thinking it would only be a temporary holder.

[@kelliandthekids7901]

Wow that was awesome! I watched several videos and your’s was by far the best! Thank you for explaining it slowly and in detail. I also loved your start and finish, very funny and your son is adorable. Thank you !

[@lorlulu]

Glad I could help!

[@bobbyhonez]

Best knot tutorial on the Internet. Sub'd

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Thank you sir

[@wesleytillman9774]

Nice tutorial.

[@The112310054]

very useful bro thx.

[@heyb6268]

About to buy so much rope now lol

[@francoisdreesen9684]

Great.. subbed 😃

[@zelda66661]

Great!!! Thanks.

[@peekaboo964]

Very nice 👌

[@kelliandthekids7901]

What do you think is the best hitch to use on the other side of the truckers hitch if you are not tying onto a tree? For example, tying a kayak onto a truck. I saw the G.E. hitch but have also read some not so great reviews on it. Thanks so much!

[@ekosaputro3580]

Very good👍🤩

[@theholypope]

thank you sir

[@jacobheinz8236]

I’m ok with this except eating the bunch of spring onions 😂 Good job !

[@SMart7751]

Jim, help! Perhaps I’m using the wrong rope, but I’m having trouble getting that double pass through the loop to work. The practice rope is kinda old, could that be the problem??!

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Yes. Works best with paracord. Is that what you were using?

[@Chitario]

Instead of the timber hitch just do a clove hitch? It is faster, will tighten itself when pulled on, super secure, will never slip and really easy to untie when needed.

[@jonathanfawcett2874]

The noise of the clip made me hit pause to make it quiet, i then rejected the clip due to the noise.

[@johnjacobs6718]

Poor 🌲 tree mark all in it

[@allemander]

8:42 You misidentified the timber hitch as a trucker’s hitch.

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Woops. Ill have to go and check on that. Thanks for heads up

[@kelliandthekids7901]

We all knew what he meant, did you really have to be so picky after such an awesome video. Please don’t change anything!

[@allemander]

@@kelliandthekids7901 You can’t speak for everyone. It’s not about being picky, it’s about offering clarification for the newcomers, in order to avoid confusion. Don’t be a negative Nancy. I was only trying to help. ✌🏼

[@shanefagan9642]

I can see your not a trucker. That aint a truckers hitch. Its a boaties hitch

[@biilybutt9016]

You look like you know about tying knots for all the wrong reasons.

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Lol. Heard that before

[@SMart7751]

Easily the best explanation/instruction of this hitch that I’ve found on the ‘net. F()@k yeah!!!!

[@databang]

3:45 Untie knots with my teeth? I plead the fifth.🙀🦷💥🪢

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Lol.

[@laven111]

Great video . Thanks

[@climbingbushcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it
