The Knot Every Paddler Should Know | How To Kayak
Dec 28, 2025
Paddlers don't need to know a lot of knots, but you need to know how to tie the right knots. The Trucker's Hitch has been one of my go to knots for over 30 years. It's a great knot for tying kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards and rafts to a vehicle, and it's a general knot for the outdoors and camping. In this video, we break down how to tie a trucker's Hitch.
