    Absolutely fantastic video - wathcing you from Australia here. Solo mama trying to learn some camping skills so I can take my 7 yro boy regularly. You have helped me immensely just even with this "dog" knot! What a game changer! I am going to really try to perfect my tarp assembly next trip. I am so grateful for your gentle explanations, so clear and generous!
    Thankyou! If I had a class with you IRL I would be so relieved that the instructor was someone with your manner, you put me right at ease here!

    In my many years of playing Army in the jungle and in the sand I’ve never ever had the luxury of having a tent or tarp. We had a motto of “travel light and freeze at night in tropic rain and wake up wet and freezing cold.” When were traveling over difficult terrain even a light tent was too heavy and considered to extravagant and not necessary to complete the mission. . I don’t have to do that anymore for God and Country. I learned something from you today, an instructor who taught in your exemplary way. Thank you . .

    Good job T! We use to make tents out of tarps as kids. It was a lot of fun until Dad couldn't find his tarp that he absolutely knew he had! lol We would run our Moms cloths line that she knew she had through the middle holes of the tarp and use rocks to hold the sides down. At night while everyone was sleeping we'd pull the tarp to the other side of the tree and leave everyone out in the open. It was funnier if it was suppose to rain that night. lol

    The way you showed and explained it, you made it so simple and yet extremely effective. Thank you so much!!!🙏🇨🇦

Now I need to get some practice under my belt. Thank you so much for showing us how it's done! I can see how this is definitely a skill that is needed to be known! Very informative and taught so well! 😁

    Excellent tutorial. Thank you. Simply done and so refreshing without all the macho nonsense so prevalent in most outdoor videos. My ridgeline is done almost exactly like yours, except I've been using duffle coat buttons as toggles, attached/knotted to the loose end of the loop (stealing from my mother's button box since 1978). Thank you again.

    Hi - being older I do pop-up tent camping. But, had the opportunity to go tent camping this weekend in the Badlands National Park area. Decided to try what I had learned in your video as it was very hot and I wanted to cast some shade over a hammock. The set-up went great - used tent stakes for toggles. Thanks for providing new fun learning. That's what keeps your mind young. Glad I found your video!

    Crappy tents are the norm, always keep a good tarp with you in case the tent goes Walmart on you in the rain. And extra 50 foot 0f paracord is good to stash away in your gear

    Untie the prussek on the ridge line put one of the threads through the grommet tie a knot at the bottom of the tread that goes through so it will catch in the loop of the other thread of para cord make a bite with the other fold into a loop and thread through the other one that’s threaded the tarp and pull them the prussek is a modified soft shakle . I used to have soft shackles on my tarp now I use the prussek as the soft shakle .

    I'm a senior widow who had to leave RV-ing behind but still love camping - so I'm venturing into tent camping. This video was incredibly helpful and your teaching style is terrific. The repetition not only clarifies but kind of "cements" the process. Thank you! Do you have any videos on how to tarp OVER a tent using only tent poles?

  • @SalineScott
    @SalineScott Před 5 lety

    I use a carabiner and a cam jam to set mine up. I keep the prusik knot attached to my tarp and store it in snake skins, but I love the idea of the toggle stick to attach the prusik knot to the tarp. This is a great video. I could use the toggle sticks and lose some weight on my set up with this idea. It wouldn’t take that much longer to set up.

  • @Jon-oy1ct
    @Jon-oy1ct Před 8 dny

    Great video. Question though if you have the time to respond. When I do this with pretty lightweight p cord, the knot with the "dog" loop doesn't bite, so if I put pressure on the ridgeline, the knot slides toward the tree (actually fencepost for testing purposes), and the ridgeline slackens. Is it the p cord that doesn't create enough friction? I am pulling the knot away from the post when I tighten it down. Thanks.

  • @rexsterlingbuchanan2929

    Hi I'm sure somebody told you already but the little circles made out of metal on your tarp or called grommets

  • @dchall8
    @dchall8 Před 5 dny

    I'm usually very critical of knot demonstrations, but not with this one. I might do it differently, but there's absolutely no qualms with the way you did it.
    The two changes important enough to comment on are 1) to give all your nylon and nylon paracord line to your enemies and switch over to polyester or Dacron line. Dacron is the brand name for polyester line, so it's a bit more expensive as a brand, but polyester line (not to be confused with polypropylene) is available at hardware stores and online. The main benefit of polyester line is that it does not stretch whether dry or wet. Nothing is less fun than to awaken in the middle of the night to find you're soaked, because the nylon ridgeline got wet and stretched. The price difference between same-size nylon and polyester is pennies per foot. You can always find Dacron line at marine stores where the price difference is nickels to dimes per foot. Also, second change I'd make, is 2) to form a figure-8 knot for each of your loops. The simple overhand knot binds on itself while the figure-8 does not, and so is much easier to untie.

  • @marybray7903
