" Hi my name is Dan and I'm here with Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to tie a truckers hitch. Which functions very much like a two to the one pulley and it is a excellent method to making the ridge lines for tarp setup very tight. Make your rope fast to a tree or some other object.

With the working end feed through the slipper hitch loop and pull back towards the tree. To make this knot fast tie another slipper hitch and there you have it.
