Tying a Transport Knot

Yesterday Irmani, a professional trucker, showed us the ropes and taught us how to tie down a heavy load. This knot goes by many names internationally. Here in Brazil it is called the "Paulista". Video includes subtitles in english.

Thats NOT a truckers hitch!...Seems I'm gonna have to make a video to show you how to do it as your so called "proffessional trucker" obviously has'nt got a clue what he's doing.

@g7vgg Go for it. This is how they do it here in Brazil. His load didn't fall apart.

The name given to this knot in books is the "Wako's Transport Knot"

@cwood1311 Here in Brazil it is called the "Paulista", after Sao Paulo.

That's only used if you are too poor to buy some ratchet tiedowns..

[Colhane]

I learned this from the SAS Survival Handbook.

This knot is also called a "wagoner's hitch." The really cool part about how he ties this knot is that the rope is already passed under the spar on the truck. He brings up a bight to make the "ear" and then just pulls on the working end, as the standing end of the bight is already around the spar. If you look at wagoner's hitch in a book, they have you form the "ear" and then try to put the working edge around the spar and it always falls apart. This way is much much easier to tie. Thanks!

on another note, given you have the room, because of the positive advantage of this hitch you can use it as a make do block and tackle, no more than 5 passes though or the primary hold will snap.

this hitch is correct, here in Australia it is often reffered to as a Trucker's, As A fishermen for years this is the primary knot I used for securing stuff on deck, easily holding secure in cyclone winds. Most of the so called Truckers hitches on Youtube are rubbish, not bad if you like cutting your rope or struggling with a fid. This version falls apart when let slack...... Onya Colhane...Represent

@paidda I wasn't planning to shoot this video at all. As soon as I saw him handling the ropes I knew I had to break out the camera. I never thought this video would go this far or generate any controversy. This man works with his ropes every day and ties these knots without thinking twice about them. He was fun to watch and really happy to show what he knew.

you bloody americans do not know shit - this knot is correct - all the youtube truckers hitch knots with both the slip knot and american accents are wrong. getting that loop out of the rope is a bastard, but our brazilian won't have to worry though
