I've been using that same cinch knot for my wool blankets for years. But it never occurred to me to come around and wrap it through the loop a second time for it to cinch onto itself. An old dog can learn a new trick. Thanks for the info.

@@migmagingenieria I totally disagree. I've tied a million truckers hitches and the guys who taught it to me tied billions more. Double wrapping only slows the process down and adds NOTHING to the security or ease of tying. As a sailor, speed, ease, security and jamb proof are what make the truckers hitch effective. If you need to double wrap in order to "hold the pull on the hitch" you're doing it wrong.

This is exactly the technique I needed right now. I was looking for an expedient way to secure a rod holder to the side of a sling bag that I'm gonna use as my day pack and was trying to find straps that were just long enough to strap it in place, but without a bunch of dangling ends. Now I can do it with exactly the length of cord I need and without spending any money.

Good knot to know! One thing I always suggest to those who are going out into the wild places is to forego plastic ropes. Every since I gave mine up in favor of natural fibers, I've noticed a real shift in attitude that's hard to describe. Tarred marline is every bit as realistically strong as 550 cord, yet if you leave some behind in the woods.... it'll rot away to nothing in just a few years. I tar my own cotton line to use for small stuff around the camp, and it's been strong enough for anything I might be doing short of stringing up a tarp. Even when it's not tarred, something like butcher's twine will get most jobs done in good order. And if you want something stronger, there's Manila, Jute, and Hemp line in a wide variety of sizes. For what we typically do out in the woods, the stuff is hard to beat. Some folks will complain about natural-fiber ropes, talking about how heavy it can be, but I've never found that to be the case. Usually, it's people carrying rope that's far larger and stronger than they actually need. Plus, tarred natural fibers are good for emergency fire-starting. The pine tar catches fire very nicely, so having a bit of it around is just insurance. As you're sitting around the campfire, practicing a bit of Marlinspike Seamanship is good fun and a great way to decorate your gear.

@@desperadodeluxe2292 Really? Or is it possible that you just don't know your knots/ropes and thus have only negative experiences - hence why you automatically categorize it as "a bunch of jute tied every which way to trees..." Serious question. I get it a lot. I used to be just as frustrated and considered rope, in general, to be rather antiquated since we have bungees, ratchet straps, etc. Then I picked up a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots and learned that the problem wasn't the rope, but my lack of knowledge. Remember, the Sailors of Ol' survived quite well aboard ships that were held together with a thousand ropes, and there was no tangle of "a bunch of jute tied every which way". Same could be said for the wagon drivers who had to secure their loads. Or the dock workers and factory men who had to lift and shift tons of goods every day. You're right that bungee cords are handy. They also break pretty regularly, and are made from polymers that will sit in the landfill for a thousand years, if they make it to one instead of being left in the woods or some roadside ditch. The internet is full of videos of animals trapped in plastic ropes and nets that have been discarded, but you never see a single video of an animal caught in a jute line. Something to ponder.

@@threeriversforge1997 honestly not big on knots so maybe your right. But the reality is I don't need one single knot to cinch a bedroll tight. The simplicity of that saves time and convenience. Furthermore we're not it the days of wagons and sailing is not a main mode of transportation. What do you think truckers use today? Bungees and cinch straps. Bungees are made of elastic rubber and polymer. And yes I find and reuse ones I find on the side if the road. How much time are you going to waste setting up a bunch of jute lines while you depend on branches and tree stumps? Tripping hazard. My point being it's too complicated to have to deal with in a scenario where you have to pack up and move quickly. Or depend on those points of contact. You could cut jute and leave but that's for survival scenario type stuff. Not saying don't use it. I wouldn't waste it that way. Use it for securing branches to make a survival shelter better option. Wire is a good way for making snares depending solely on rope is a lot harder. Furthermore I'm not a bush crafter I'm a conservationist.
@threeriversforge1997
Жыл бұрын
@@desperadodeluxe2292 I'm a conservationist, too. That's why I recommend using natural ropes, or even plastic ropes, in lie of bungee cords and ratchet straps. As First Class Amateur often says on his rope-related channel, "A rope will do what a ratchet strap does, but a ratchet strap won't do what rope does." That's something to think about. And while it's great that you recycle where you can, the sad fact is that you're one guy in a sea of millions who don't. Just the manufacturing and transport of those ratchet straps and bungee cords takes a toll on the environment. Right? You might use them til their worn to a frazzle and can't be used anymore, but then they'll wind up in a landfill. And there's millions of other people who casually toss the stuff to the side or lose it, hence why we find it so often tangled in the wild lands that we love so much. Your argument in favor of these things isn't following any logic. No offense, but simply because you see truckers using modern contrivances doesn't mean that it's a good practice or that you are obligated to follow suit. Most of them are doing it because they have no choice, not because it's the best tool for the job. Insurance, company regs, availability... all these things play a part in the situation. And, honestly, I'm not against them doing it because it's a strong and secure thing. However, you're not them. You're not hauling tons of gear at one go, doing 80 down the highway where every little bump could spell disaster. You're a guy playing in the woods, with no real hurry, and if your bedroll comes loose..... it's not a problem. As a guy who's worked with big rigs and such, I can promise that the Trucker's Hitch is still just as valuable and useful today as it was 100 years ago. In the end, it comes down to what you wrote in the beginning - "honestly not big on knots..." Okay, so you're not really familiar with the subject, like most people aren't, and that's when the learning occurs. I am familiar with ropes and knots, and I'm happy to share what I know, or point you to better sources, like First Class Amateur's channel here on YT. Ropework isn't complicated. It's not time-consuming. I used to think so until I practiced a bit and realized that I only needed a handful of knots to get everything done. And then I discovered that using rope was far easier and more beneficial to my life than using ratchet straps and bungee cords. From there, I started thinking about all that goes into making the stuff, and how bad it is for the environment. And for what? So I could save a few seconds in snubbing up my bedroll? All that gas and oil burned up, in the making and transport of the stuff, just so I could have a material that was far stronger than I needed when tarred marline or jute or even cotton line would have sufficed and is at least easily biodegradable in short order. For the environment, non-plastic materials are always better. If you absolutely need the strength of the plastic for load-bearing or life-saving, sure, use it with a smile on your face. But for trivialities like camping?
