It's knot?

yep 3 to 1 - in theory. actually closer to 2:1 due to the friction.

Great knot set-up for tying down objects on a trailer/roof of a car. For example: tying down some kayaks or Christmas tree to the roof of your car. Use this all the time!

Be sure to make the second loop to the slip knot come from the side of the rope that is nearest to the object your looping around, otherwise your slip knot will tighten down on your rope and be hard to untie.

If you do not know how to tie a Dolly knot I can video it for you and a double Dolly...the two knots you will never find on here or internet and not even in the Ashley book of knots is a fastening knot and a drag knot used for pulling pallets and cages off trailers which never jams or slips...the reason they are not anywhere is because I came up with them especially for this use which no other knot was doing....it is no used by many truckers I have shown it too and passed it on.
