I found some good bankline at "Harbour Chandler" in Nanaimo recently so I may try to get some of these modular lines made up for my later adventures. Just spent most of the summer experimenting with 2 different tarps and a multitude of different sets. I have a Hennessy Hammock that I have owned for almost 20 years.

Fantastic addition to the flexibility of your system! Does it throw things off to add the criss-cross cords before tightening the main lines, while it’s still easier to feed them through? Is there an amount of slack that’s okay, where you’ll still be able to fully tighten it afterwards?
@frankbush333 4 күн бұрын
@@anthonywestbrook2155 Hey Anthony, glad you enjoyed the video. No, it doesn't throw things off, the slack makes it easier to initially thread but either way the tension is better when it is fully tense, slack is OK early on but tension is better later, so it ends up being kind of the same amount of effort either way.

Do you know the distance it can go fully loaded (60kg) on a full battery charge, on smooth road? I’m trying to work out how many charged batteries I need to take with me to get the job done.
@frankbush333 Ай бұрын
@@gnostie that is a tricky question as many things play factor, how smooth is smooth, any hills on the road, battery capacity loss over time etc. etc. As a very rough ballparking I would say maybe 3-4 km on fresh batteries on level paved roads per battery, that is a rough guess... call it 2 km for a conservative guess.

Hello Frank, Very interesting video, which brings me some questions : 1 : for the same price than this solar generator cost, buying a DC/AC converter(like the Renogy 2000W you own) wouldn't be more efficient ? 2 : for the price of these 2 batteries and this solar generator, could u upgrade with a better solar generator ? 3 : can you use batteries with different capacities ? If no, do they have to be identical (same model) ? 4 : does the system (PWM unit) work if the 2 batteries don't have the same amount of charge ? Thanks
@frankbush333 Ай бұрын
@@louis6569 Hey Louis, 1) it would be more efficient for the ac agreed, but there are advantages of portability and other outputs in a small light stand alone unit. 2) you could but they are bigger and heavier and not as modular so packing them in to remote locations can be more difficult, plus these can be multiple purchases through time rather than a single expensive purchase, I focus on portability for off grid use primarily as well. 3) it is doable to use mismatched batteries but I always recommend matching batteries that are top balanced. 4) top balancing is used to minimize this issue, put simply, fully charge your batteries independently before connecting them in series (periodically repeat top balancing), a 24v battery doesn't have this issue but can't be rewired easily for a 12v setup for example. Hope this helps answer your questions, keep in mind I receive these products from random companies that wish for me to do review videos, as additional channel content I create videos such as these combining the different products to show advanced capabilities that can be achieved with random gear.

@@louis6569 Two fold answer but these are just my thoughts, the smaller solar panel has a white background keeping the panel cooler which increases performance generally (it is also the best flexible panel and pricier, that I am aware of) secondly, their were wildfires and smoke in my area that intensified through time I believe this additionally had impact.

Hey, i did the same as these soft shackles but with a Canadian jam knot instead of the farrimond, the only thing i have a problem with is opening it if i use it as a carabiner. what i figured out was to combine it with the robe tensioner, where the loop is a Canadian jam knot, it gives the same functionality of the rope tensioner and the soft shackle. the stopper knot at 18:11 is a great idea. I am going to try the farrimond hitch as well. Thanks for sharing have a great day :)

That’s an awesome set up, but if I had to set up a tarp, for example, for rain coverage with my tent underneath, I’m assuming you would run the Ridgeline down the middle of the tarp and do an A-frame or some other setup? Is there any videos of a practical application with the tarp that you would actually use it for for a rain, shelter or something?
@JPazer Ай бұрын
Revisiting this video because I need more prusik knots for the A-frame shelter. Im gonna thread the ridgeline in the middle loop of my DD 3x3 tarp so I can set it up much quicker while also packing it away this way. You can use the ridgeline running it under the tarp (what I used to do) but when raining the drops could follow the cord under the tarp making your shelter underneath somewhat exposed to water. It also puts stress on the fabric instead of the reinforced loop points. Not much of a problem just a min-max thing that doesn't change much in the end. A simple A-frame over a tent would suffice to answer your question. Or a Lean-to if it's not windy. I will use the Diamond shelter for my hammock because of the extra length. There are lots of videos on how to setup tarps for different applications. Hope that helped!

Wondering why you went with such a small knot for your soft shackle? Still great information no matter the minor details!
