Excellent tutorial. I love watching the way other people do things. I have my own way of doing many of those same tasks but your knots look better in a few cases. You are a very good teacher. Using the larger rope certainly helped. Thanks.

thanks for the nice comment. I watched all your rope craft videos on youtube and found the ones where you filmed a truck driver very useful.

cheers mate

I have uploaded another vid which shows alternative ways to make "Trucker's Hitch"-like Knots.
The problem with the Trucker's Hitch is that it is made with quick release knots, and that can be a problem when larger diameter ropes or very high tension is involved.

Let me know if I didn't explain myself clear enough.

Enjoy, p@

The truckers hitch was originally the waggoners hitch as it was used long before trucks were invented. I find the thicker the rope the easier it is to tie but that will depend on the quality of the rope and with thinner rope I find it helps if you put an extra twist just before you thread the rope back through itself.
