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

Superb video, now just got to get it onto my iPhone for reference when I'm out and about. Never been good at knots, but you make them so simple.

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.
