The Trucker's Hitch or Lorry Knot as is is sometimes called, allows a scout to easily
tighten a rope, yet easily untie the knot. Its most common use is for tying loads such
as a canoe to a cartop, a tarp to trailer or any application where a very tight rope is
needed. It provides the advantages of a block and tackle, without the all the heavy
hardware. Even under the most severe tension, the knots remain easy to untie.
