The trucker's hitch is one ofy favorites. I use it (with some Paracord) to tie stuff done to my bike. A piece of cord is just so much more durable and more compact than those elastic bands with hooks. I prefer taking the extra 30 seconds rather than risking a rubber cord snapping somewhere near my face.
