I thought that I would share with the members of CT, a couple of the knots that I use the most when setting up camp, especially a tarp. They are real easy to tie and most importantly, easy to untie! 
I hope you find these field tested knots useful.

Edited to add that these knots work equally well with rope and parachute cord.

Hi Dusty, I have been learning the truckers hitch knot from my hiking buddy Cal. He uses it all the time.
Thanks for the video

They work well in tandem, for quickly getting a tarp up and down and getting lots of tension on them, to keep them taut !
   
Once you master them, they'll become your most used knots!
