Is this the one?, looks easier to undo once you've cranked a couple on ton through it.

I've used the one shown by the "Xspurt" for a while and it can be APITA once tight on smaller diameter rope!.

The link does'nt work, be great to see if its the same one, as it unties real easy.

 

I've not used the truckers hitch, it did occur to me afterwards that it may be hard to undo, but the vid is funny anyway, and shows the concept.

Oops, try this link, and look under boating section, truckers hitch.

i always use the trucker knot for tying down a load, but ive never thought about it for pulling stems over.

Had a look at the site and my knot is not the same, it does'nt real comprise a knot, as when you take of the tension and remove the rope or karabiner from the loop it will practically fall out.

 

A carters is tied by making a bight, get a length of rope from beneath the bight take 2 wraps around the bight forming a crossing part (like a fishermans/barrel knot) as you made the wraps this would of put a twist and fromed a loop in the length you bought up to form the wraps. Real simple real quick and never binds tight.

 

You don't have to just put one on the rope, you can link 2 carters hitches with a single rope doubling the advantage.

Marc, Thanks 4 the description, I've had a try and assuming that the wraps are made with a 2nd bight I can get it to work. I' ve big oak butt to pull over next week so I can try it then.:wave:
