Man you have a natural charisma in front of the camera, keep it up!

[@DerekLieu]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I just brought home my family’s Christmas tree; it’s the first one I’ve ever tied to my car by myself. I should’ve used thicker twine but it was a short drive. Thanks again!

[@kristincrane7318]

I feel like watching this video is as much a part of my holiday tradition as putting the tree up. So helpful!

[@cormatt]

You, my friend, are a baller!! Awesome video. Happy holidays.

[@emmakay4374]

Thanks so much!! This has saved our Christmas!!!

Love the video I run a tree operation and I get this kid a job and he’s so slow . He has a tree on a caravan with roof racks ok I leave come back 20 min later he’s tying it inside the van??? Wtf!!! I said dude why didn’t you use the rack omg . I don’t think he’s going to work out . They all think it’s easy until you get a day of rain and those trees are 40lbs heavier and your soaking wet. Hope you guys have a great season and you crush on the tips . Got my first 50$ Bill tip and a few 20’a so far this year I’m crushing haha

[@mattirving9486]

[@rachybop]

Can't wait to try this!! Thanks for the tips :)

[@emilyfeierfeil7456]

Thanks for you help, this was super helpful!

[@Mixwell1983]

I think a better way to not have rope running through the car is open the doors and tie off on the latch hoops on your door frame.. that's what i do then tie a loop mid way and make a trucker hitch then run the other end through the other latch hoop and back up and tighten it. Once you close your door it will tighten down even more..

Mr. Travis what is the name of the knots I should be using? Thank you

[@marybarnett8937]

great video, this was just what I was looking for!

[@davidhobbins3636]

Thanks for the solution. We have a minivan that doesn't have a roof rack. #dadlife #truckgoals

[@RichardGriffiths1]

very useful. didn't think you could do this without a roof rack.

[@johnedwards6997]

This was so helpful for my wife and me at Lowe's! (They do not tie your tree for you there like at Home Depot.)

[@SoutheastBackpacker]

Thanks - helpful quick reminder.

[@murrayot]

[@shaylaghc6478]

[@abbyboyone]

Good job!

[@wilby111]

Does anyone know the name of the guy doing this video?

[@rtravisking]

wilby111 I'm the one in the video, my name is Travis.

[@wilby111]

Hi Travis, Thank you. We picked up our Xmas tree from a great farm here in Virginia today and I used your techniques to great effect. I felt far less nervous about driving on the highway. Also, I think you have good presentation skills. I would encourage you to post up on your channel other useful tips and techniques on other subjects. Thank you.

[@tammygant4216]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@devilsrejecthbb1]

How long should each piece of twine should be?

[@MrNZ19]

ive been working trees for a friends company for 3 years now, in general i like to go with two wingspans full of twine, 2 full arm extensions, that usually yields enough twine and then some

[@rtravisking]

DevilsrejectTraining I agree with Nick. Somewhere in the 5 foot range. If unsure start long and cut off the extra or just tie more on if you're too short.

[@RatMan2.0]

You aren’t supposed to tie the tip because there is a chance it could break it and it would be useless then.

[@rtravisking]

True if you tie too close to the tip or leader as it's called in Christmas Tree speak. I advise tying further down the tree below where the leader meets the trunk. The leader is usually about as thick as your thumb and where it joins the trunk at the top of the tree it gets to be about as thick as your wrist. That's the safest place to tie.
