My father , Grandfather & Gt Grandfather always used a "sheep-shank"
My Gt Grandfather had Bullock teams originally going from Sydney through to Wast Wyalong carting freight , then when the rail line got to Goulburn , carted from there . If anyone remembers the Old Steel Bridge at Yass , he carted that , even got held up by Ben Hall (bushranger , Grenfell) in the late 1800's My father & Grandfather had a farm till 1970 and they all used a sheep-shank , so I was taught the same . Dad used to tie down wool bales 3 high on the truck , No problems , but the site it's a No-No . I stopped using them when I got Nylon rope , but with the old Hemp rope , never lost a load , But very interesting site . Norm

The sheepshank is a good quick knot and the truckies hitch is a great one too.
I learned a whole bunch of knots from an old bloke I used to work with called Digger O'Grady. When I asked him why they call him Digger he said during the war he was such a good shot he used to get 2 (enemy) with every bullet which gave the grave diggers twice the amount of workload. A little trick he picked up from shooting rabbits on his farm during the depression, bullets were too expensive to waste so he had to make the most of each slug. I love "old bloke" stories.... now I am one :(

the double granny knot is a pearler,
or for real tricky situations - The TRIPLE GRANNY has to make an appearance.
