I guess here is as good a place as any to share this link....

It's a pretty cool website, though I prefer a different variation of the truckies hitch...


Yeah the truckies hitch that I use gives a 4:1 pull and can be used mid rope so that 1 long rope can tie the whole load


^^ Yes, exactly! There should be no need to pass the end of the rope through either the knot or the tie down point / rail.

In fact if the load is high enough I can put a truckies hitch onto a truckies hitch and get 16:1 but only on properly rated rope and then carry on tieing the load down in a similar fashion
