Going by my last trip (Last week) I think I need to learn a new to me knot for the paracord The one lorry drivers use to tighten down their load(No Idea what its called)
As said cartiers/truckers hitch or easier is the tautline hitch, the one I generally use for simplicity, a second tautline hitch tied a few inches away with the tag end really locks it in place. I usually use 3 turns and then 1 turn. never had any problems using that.
The truckers hitch has the advantage that it is quick release and by making multiple passes through the loop and around the anchor can be very powerful knot, as it acts like a pulley
