Excellent video, I thought I heard everything about rapid ridge-lines, but your video shed a light on RAPID. Even if it was a slightly longer video, I can appreciate all the effort and detail of how to execute this lost art. Thank you sir. You just earned a subscriber. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the sub, glad you enjoyed, you may like some of my latest ridgeline videos even more, the next video coming will be my most advanced ropecraft complete system yet, stay tuned cheers!
It’s awesome💥💥I’m a few months later, but I’m making my toggles!! This is truly 💯impressive. I like how particular you are dressing the knots. You have a new subscriber! Thank you!
I am thoroughly amazed that you manage to capture my attention so much so that I willingly watched a man tie knots for 1 hour. 😂 But seriously, great work. I appreciate a thorough video with a thorough explanation rather than a brief overview where they already expect you to know how to do certain aspects. I am the type of person that I want to see A to Z with an explanation of why each step is there. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with other people. Means alot.
Dave Canterbury uploaded a similar video today. I thought it was a huge improvement over the quick deployment ridgeline that many of us have been using. Then I watched your video here. I like yours even better. The way you did your second anchor point is the reason. Great stuff. I subscribed and now gotta check out the other stuff you’ve posted. Great show n tell demo. I learned the soft shackles from Blackie Thomas and they are massively useful for many things.
Ya I don't mind bank line but I find when things get cold and wet it 'gums' up a bit so I decided to go with the Mason line, thanks for watching cheers!
Hey ma that guy Frank is back and he's talking about nuts...er I mean Knots, Bring the popcorn. Alway good to hear from you Frank, thanks for another top shelf video.
This is the slickest Way I have seen yet just did a video last week I haven't loaded yet using a cam lock type deal. I like the idea of longer Ridgeline also.
Well Done Frank, a little Preperation Like You Showed And Bing Bang Went Right Up. When Your Cold. Tired, Hungary, Injured and Possibly in Pain, or in Need of Speedy Shelter. Your Set up Could Save Your Life when Shelter is Needed, Right Now. Thanks for the Show and Tell, "The Finest Kind."
Absolutely love this video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and it was probably unintentional of you, but putting a tarp up against a big trunk gives excellent added protection. Brilliant.
@@frankbush333Joking aside, very informative, I like that you added the togglea to your version of the quick deployment ridgeline, I usually just use a Marlin Spike.
This is actually called a soft shackle, they're really popular in sailing. I like the variation with the lark"s head. The other method I think works best if you don't use the fisherman's knot, and instead just tie the two ends facing together with something like a double overhand knot. Good stuff
I'm a senior citizen who wants to spend lots of time outdoors during my remaining years, and this RDRL is the cat's meow for someone with hand/finger dexterity issues. I'm thinking of buying a small and a medium sized tarp to use to get out of the sun/rain/snow so I can simply veg, have some chow, or play HAM Radio. This Rapid Deployable RidgeLine, being stashed in the SUV, makes for a very quick camp setup. Great information in that spending a few hours on the bench at home saves many minutes, time and time again, in setting up a tarp for camping comfort. Great job, my good man. Great job........

This system is ideal in my neck of the woods. I live in the Caribbean so it rains alot and a quick set up like the 1 in your video is an essential bit of kit. Thank you Mr Bush. I'm subscribing.
Hey man, this is an awesome project !!! I made one at home and then took some buddies camping and I showed them how to make them and then use them too. It made me look like a badass and we had a blast doing it. Thanks for this video, keep’em comin’ !!!
Nice one Frank. Just made one myself following your steps & very easy to do. Took under an hour to make & dress up. I already use the toggle method on paracord as a bag strap to attach things already but other applications include turning it into a makeshift belt. One thing I'm going to differently is rather than use the paracord loops as a kind of soft shackle, I'm just adding 3 more toggles to the masons line - this way you can pass the masons line loop through the tarp grommet & secure that around the toggle in the same way as you secured the ridgeline. (I'm one of those ex-military guys who likes a little uniformity, plus I think it'd be easier to manage in the dark too). That said though, I always have 550 & Amsteel loops with me so I can always fall back on that as a backup if needed. Great video. Thanks 🙂👍
Excellent! Ya there are a lot of different variations to this type of setup once people get the individual basics, that's what I like about it. If you check out my latest guy lines video I show a toggle free way as well, glad you enjoyed the video thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
Very cool system Frank! I just watched David Canerbury's updated fast deploy ridgeline system and it's almost exactly the same, but I like your version that you show even better. You do a great job of teaching, thanks!
thank you for the kind words I am humbled, glad you got something from the video, you might enjoy my latest video as well it is an entirely different type of rapid ridgeline from this one. thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
I’m a newbie at all this and I managed to follow along just fine. Now I have the rapid ridge line to use with my new DD 3x3m tarp. Thank you so much for a great tutorial 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video, I have already replaced this system with a better construct you may want to check out some of my more recent videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch more coming soon cheers.
It’s funny, yesterday I saw a video of D. Canterburry that explained exactly your system, and today, youtube offers me your video while I had never seen one of your productions. Count me now among your followers.
That’s a great system. I’m definitely going to be using some of the components for mine. Recently I started using the “cordage carabiners” as a prusik and has made things a lot easier for me. Thanks for the video
Very well done i liked the way you explained what you were doing and you didn't assume at any point everyone knew what you were talking about and you didn't just say "you'll need to use these loops" you actually said how long of cordage you'll need to make a loop and here's how to make a loop thank you
Hello frank just found your channel today and really enjoyed rhis cideo thumbs-up i will be making this set up later on Today. Rhanks for thenhard work looing forward to more. Stay safe
Fantastic version of this. Love the idea of not needing to tie teucker's hitches or such at deploy. Didn't have any way of making wooden toggles for mine so made prusik diamond knots amd used arbours to connect to rhem
Instant subscribe after seeing the way you did the second tree. Your system is close to what I have used but the second anchor point might be better/easier than what I have been doing.
Thank you Frank for sharing your ideas and for this great video. Your system is quite worthful, especially in the harsh conditions that you mentioned. A multiple time usage is another practical advantage. Keep on going! Cheers and greetings from Ukraina!

Hey Bob thanks, it has been a while since I saw your name popup. Ya I am hoping to get out again soon, was out in the area exploring new terrain last weekend just never setup there. There had been logging protests in the area so they locked down large areas with gates and security people, just waiting for the area to calm down and clear out.
@@frankbush333 Hey Frank, yeah it's been a while since I last posted a comment. Your solar projects were interesting but not something I can do/use in my current situation! Bush craft, now that's more my bag! I hope all the logging troubles clear ups soon and we get to see more of you in the woods/forests! I look forward to more of your videos in the future!
You should try and put stop knots first and then your overhand loop or bowline knot. This is just a second safety measure so the cord does not slip out of its knot and the burning of the ends melts the cord to itself so that is your 3rd safety. Same goes with the fisherman's knots to keep everything secured. This also creates a larger knot for your Soft shackles to hold on to. You can make two soft shackles from bungy cord and use it to hold your bundle. As you pull your lead line out the bungy cord soft shackle will keep the bundle tight. Once your done and ready to put your ridgeline away you can take the bungy soft shackles off and back on to your bundle like a rubber bands. Good video with good ideas for a rapid ridge line.
If you like this setup you may enjoy some of my more recent ridgeline videos they replace this system entirely. Thanks for taking the time to watch more coming soon cheers.
That cordage carabiner is actually pretty interesting. Thank you. I usually just use a set sheet bend. For the ridgeline prusik you want more turns than the usual six because prusik actually slacks over time because the cordage you are using is not static. But for overnight, it's should retain the tension. Further you could sheet bend the ridgeline prusik if you want to simplify the system. Overall beautiful.
Great instructional video. You might not believe this, but I've been using almost the exact same method since the 1970s here in Scotland! These days, I use 550 cord, not window cord and a nylon tarp instead of heavy canvas - much easier. My 550 ridgeline is permanently connected through the tarp's apex loops for quick use as it rains a lot here. I still use the old WWII style duffle coat buttons as toggles, though. It made me grin from ear to ear watching this. Thank you.
You know what? I spent pretty much the whole month investigating ridgelines, knots, tensioners, carabiners, etc. I came to the conclusion of using literally the same system you have here... Saw the thumbnail and I had to come and say - Great minds think alike
A very informative video, lots of detail. I've seen many Ridgeline videos but yours had a few little twists/tips I enjoyed. So good job 👍 One suggestion, a bit long on the run time...
Fantastic content! I changed my ridgeline setup almost identical to yours after watching this video. The only difference I made was that I did not use the carabiner paracord, I already incorporated a toggle on those prusiks to just insert them on the tarp straps when setting the tarp up. The actual setup was rapid. Thanks for putting out this video!
Hi @@frankbush333 ! I've just finished watching the latest videos. Definitely going to make some changes on my ridgeline setup. lol! Thanks again! Awesome awesome stuff!
Good idea, I do not use this system anymore I have switched to using my modular ropecraft systems they replace these types of systems for me entirety. Check out those videos you may like them even more. Thanks for watching cheers!
That loop with the fisherman's knot can be used as a caring handle for a jug or bottle by pulling the knots loose, slip the "Inner" loop over the jug/bottle neck and snug it down. It makes it much easier to carry, lets say, a 5 gallon jug. ;-)
Great video! Why not leave the tarp attached to the line and slide it to the first loop and toggle? Then hank the cord and drop it in the bag, stuff the tarp in and then undo the loop and toggle. Leave the loop and toggle outside the bag and since it closed.
All good idea options, if this was a permanent long term setup, but given that I do this channel I often show many different setups and keeping everything separated for the next video is just par for the course.
First of all, nice video, and well done! Great quality of instruction and attention to detail. Thanks. I came to line, knots, ridgelines, etc., due to hammock camping. While it's true that there's nothing new under the sun, it's also true that there's a ton of what isn't new that I haven't learned yet, and I picked up a few pointers in this video. I love paracord. It's strong, and it's grabby so holds knots well, but I don't use it for two reasons: 1. As nylon, it is stretchy, even more so when wet, and so sags badly, and 2. It soaks up and holds water like a sponge. That's why I use UHMWPE, or Dyneema, line. What are your thoughts on that? I really liked the soft-shackle carabiner idea, but only as a fall back. In hammock camping, I was introduced to the idea of "fiddle factor" as an important consideration. While slick as snot on a doorknob, the soft-shackle idea carries a high fiddle factor, relative to mini carabiners, which is what I use. So I will now make sure that I have a hank of paracord (and a lighter) in order to make the soft-shackles when necessary. Also, a mini carabiner is nice to clip the Prusiks together so impossible to come unraveled in storage. The mini-biners are cheap and weigh nothing, so I use them in place of toggles and always carry 4 or 5 extra. This video was so good that I will be checking out your others.
I know those other cords are strong but slippy so I use paracord and bankline. When you have a flexible setup adding tension to wet and sagging line is easy enough. Glad you got something out of the video. The next one coming is even better will release soon, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
permanent toggle on the ridgeline is a great idea . I will stick with small carabiners but if one breaks I know what to do 👍 . I have my ridge line permanently attached to my tarp with small carabiners goes up even quicker then so long as I am using the A frame or diamond framed tarp setup which i use 99%of the time
Great video Frank. May I respectfully add another point which has helped me Sometimes the Prussic knots loosen when on the ridge line and you might have to re-dress them when this happens. A solution to prevent this happening is to tie either a constrictor or button knot to the fist of the prussic and pulling tight. This will keep the Prussic knot always shaped as it should be.
Ya there are a few options for keeping them tighter, agreed. If you enjoyed this setup you may like my recently posted ultimate ridgeline, I prefer that one I think it is much better, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
Ya, there are many different configurations you can use in this type of setup, some of my other rapid Ridgelines have it as you say as well, this video is designed to be educational to bring people up to speed with this type of thinking. Thanks for watching, more coming soon cheers!
You took the rapid deployment ridgeline seriously. This will be my ridgeline setup from now on. Thanks mate!

Bush craft, now that's more my bag! I hope all the logging troubles clear ups soon and we get to see more of you in the woods/forests!
I look forward to more of your videos in the future!
Excellent!

You should try and put stop knots first and then your overhand loop or bowline knot. This is just a second safety measure so the cord does not slip out of its knot and the burning of the ends melts the cord to itself so that is your 3rd safety. Same goes with the fisherman's knots to keep everything secured. This also creates a larger knot for your Soft shackles to hold on to. You can make two soft shackles from bungy cord and use it to hold your bundle. As you pull your lead line out the bungy cord soft shackle will keep the bundle tight. Once your done and ready to put your ridgeline away you can take the bungy soft shackles off and back on to your bundle like a rubber bands. Good video with good ideas for a rapid ridge line.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the video more coming soon cheers!
So appreciated!!
If you like this setup you may enjoy some of my more recent ridgeline videos they replace this system entirely. Thanks for taking the time to watch more coming soon cheers.
enjoyed your video friend;
my only suggestion would be to have better lighting when shooting video inside💡
Agreed
I knew that this Ridgeline setup was something hehe. I believe it become standard for many people now.
wait till you see the n3xt one coming its even better.
@@frankbush333 Awesome my man, cant wait.
Love soft shackles. I’ve used them for years .
Great video! Thanks
check out the latest video you might like it even more!
@@frankbush333 Will do!
Well done.
Thanks Gord, if you like this one check out my latest video you might like that as well. More coming soon cheers!
That cordage carabiner is actually pretty interesting. Thank you. I usually just use a set sheet bend. For the ridgeline prusik you want more turns than the usual six because prusik actually slacks over time because the cordage you are using is not static. But for overnight, it's should retain the tension. Further you could sheet bend the ridgeline prusik if you want to simplify the system. Overall beautiful.
I think it’s always a good idea to display/demonstrate the finish product at the beginning of the video to establish relevance to the viewer.
Hey there. 😊 Very cool video and demonstration! 👍 Gave me something great to think about implementing. Thank you, sir.

Good video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video more coming soon cheers!
Great instructional video. You might not believe this, but I've been using almost the exact same method since the 1970s here in Scotland! These days, I use 550 cord, not window cord and a nylon tarp instead of heavy canvas - much easier. My 550 ridgeline is permanently connected through the tarp's apex loops for quick use as it rains a lot here. I still use the old WWII style duffle coat buttons as toggles, though. It made me grin from ear to ear watching this. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed the video, check out my latest video you might like that as well, it replaces this setup entirely.
@frankbush333 Will do. Thank you.
Gracias por este video yeah😊 excelente técnica
Gracias
You know what? I spent pretty much the whole month investigating ridgelines, knots, tensioners, carabiners, etc.
I came to the conclusion of using literally the same system you have here...
Saw the thumbnail and I had to come and say - Great minds think alike
If you like this one check out my latest video it is an even better system, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
A very informative video, lots of detail. I've seen many Ridgeline videos but yours had a few little twists/tips I enjoyed. So good job 👍
One suggestion, a bit long on the run time...
glad you fot something out of the video
I like it.
Fantastic content! I changed my ridgeline setup almost identical to yours after watching this video. The only difference I made was that I did not use the carabiner paracord, I already incorporated a toggle on those prusiks to just insert them on the tarp straps when setting the tarp up. The actual setup was rapid. Thanks for putting out this video!
You may like some of my other latest videos they have replaced this system entirely, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
Hi @@frankbush333 ! I've just finished watching the latest videos. Definitely going to make some changes on my ridgeline setup. lol! Thanks again! Awesome awesome stuff!
Glad you enjoyed thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
For the soft shackles I use shock cord, holds taught but allows a bit of give in strong winds, takes excess pressure off the tarp
Good idea, I do not use this system anymore I have switched to using my modular ropecraft systems they replace these types of systems for me entirety. Check out those videos you may like them even more. Thanks for watching cheers!
That loop with the fisherman's knot can be used as a caring handle for a jug or bottle by pulling the knots loose, slip the "Inner" loop over the jug/bottle neck and snug it down. It makes it much easier to carry, lets say, a 5 gallon jug. ;-)
Have done that exact same thing many times, it is a very handy knot.
Just make sure the knots are slipped together to be snug. Ain’t nothing like chasing your water bottle down a hill. Ask how I know. 🤦♂️
Great video! Why not leave the tarp attached to the line and slide it to the first loop and toggle? Then hank the cord and drop it in the bag, stuff the tarp in and then undo the loop and toggle. Leave the loop and toggle outside the bag and since it closed.
All good idea options, if this was a permanent long term setup, but given that I do this channel I often show many different setups and keeping everything separated for the next video is just par for the course.
First of all, nice video, and well done! Great quality of instruction and attention to detail. Thanks. I came to line, knots, ridgelines, etc., due to hammock camping. While it's true that there's nothing new under the sun, it's also true that there's a ton of what isn't new that I haven't learned yet, and I picked up a few pointers in this video. I love paracord. It's strong, and it's grabby so holds knots well, but I don't use it for two reasons: 1. As nylon, it is stretchy, even more so when wet, and so sags badly, and 2. It soaks up and holds water like a sponge. That's why I use UHMWPE, or Dyneema, line. What are your thoughts on that? I really liked the soft-shackle carabiner idea, but only as a fall back. In hammock camping, I was introduced to the idea of "fiddle factor" as an important consideration. While slick as snot on a doorknob, the soft-shackle idea carries a high fiddle factor, relative to mini carabiners, which is what I use. So I will now make sure that I have a hank of paracord (and a lighter) in order to make the soft-shackles when necessary. Also, a mini carabiner is nice to clip the Prusiks together so impossible to come unraveled in storage. The mini-biners are cheap and weigh nothing, so I use them in place of toggles and always carry 4 or 5 extra. This video was so good that I will be checking out your others.
I know those other cords are strong but slippy so I use paracord and bankline. When you have a flexible setup adding tension to wet and sagging line is easy enough. Glad you got something out of the video. The next one coming is even better will release soon, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
Looking forward to see you next. Have a good day, Frank @@frankbush333
Thank you !
Drink Everytime He Says "Yeah"
HAHAHAHAHA Hammerd In No Time "Yeah"😂 LMAO😂"Yeah"🤣
permanent toggle on the ridgeline is a great idea . I will stick with small carabiners but if one breaks I know what to do 👍 . I have my ridge line permanently attached to my tarp with small carabiners goes up even quicker then so long as I am using the A frame or diamond framed tarp setup which i use 99%of the time
Just see it as another tool for the toolbox, thx for watching more coming soon cheers!
made the hyper jump to jungle knots last year - never looked back
you may like my latest video it takes jungle loops to the next level.
Cool ! ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Glad you enjoyed the video more coming soon cheers!
Great video Frank. May I respectfully add another point which has helped me Sometimes the Prussic knots loosen when on the ridge line and you might have to re-dress them when this happens. A solution to prevent this happening is to tie either a constrictor or button knot to the fist of the prussic and pulling tight. This will keep the Prussic knot always shaped as it should be.
Ya there are a few options for keeping them tighter, agreed. If you enjoyed this setup you may like my recently posted ultimate ridgeline, I prefer that one I think it is much better, thanks for watching more coming soon cheers!
I di the same thing but I put a toggle on each prusik. Way faster than a soft shackle.
Ya, there are many different configurations you can use in this type of setup, some of my other rapid Ridgelines have it as you say as well, this video is designed to be educational to bring people up to speed with this type of thinking. Thanks for watching, more coming soon cheers!
