In this lesson, Trevor is sharing how to create a trucker's hitch to secure equipment when you do not have a strap available. This is most effective when you are wondering how to tie a raft to the top of your vehicle or how to tie a kayak down. The trucker's hitch utilizes a basic 3:1 mechanical advantage principal to help secure the load and get tension on the system. We always recommend backing up the trucker's hitch with a half hitch to help further secure the hitch from popping out while you are driving.
