That underhand loop to secure the running end to be used for others things is amazing! Ive just started using the Truckers Hitch for stuff and never really understood it. Your video is clear and simple. Thank you!

The Bowline / Truckers Hitch is SUCH an effective combination. Easy to learn, easy to set up fast, and not to be overshadowed... easy to disassemble when done!

I didn't know you could make a bowline this way! Always made a bowline and used that loop to attach it to the tree with a slipknot. This is so much easier! Quick and to the point as well. Thank you so much.

New hammock camper here. Been getting everything together to go on my maiden hammock camping trip in mid July to North West Arkansas. I have been watching all kinds of “How to Tie Knot Videos”. By far, you are the easiest to understand and follow step by step. Thank you for making this easy to follow video.

Knew about the trucker's hitch, but thanks for that stick idea. All these years and I never thought of that one. Then when I saw you do it I about facepalmed myself unconscious because it was so simple. Also making the bowline that way was new to me too. Thanks.

Now i'm really happy about YouTube. You did this video 5 years ago and today I learned from you I have watched several other videos for this hitch Your version is by far the easiest and the fastest to do. Also your version of the bowline is very cool!
