CONT

Le nœud de camionneur peut s'avérer très utile pour effectuer un remorquage. Peut-être pas facile à mémoriser, il demeure toutefois utile pour attacher les bâches de bennes de certains gros camions ou bien pour tendre un cordage sur un toit ou bien pour tendre les haubans de tentes.

OBS

Ce nœud [nœud de camionneur] permet de tendre un cordage servant typiquement à fixer la charge d'un camion ou d'une remorque. Comme le nœud en jambe-de-chien, ce nœud ne marche que lorsqu'il reste sous tension.
