Hello mate, a 3mm hole is pretty small! I used beads with a 5mm hole in this video which worked really well. The paracord is 550 and I took the inner strands out and used one to help put the beads on as per the video. I hope this helps 👍

@@outlawbushcraftandsurvival101 that's very helpful thanks! 🙏 No idea what am going to do with 100 beads of 3mm hole now 😅

Try the Siberian Hitch (also called the Evenk knot)

There's a one-armed guy who hammocks and I thought the same, learn how to cope in adverse conditions just in case of injury. Currently learning to be righthanded lol. Had a quick scan but can't find his videos sorry.

I think it is a clever thing I will give a go. I know my knots and I think any weakening would have to be an issue only after prolonged exposure to sunlight and rain for weeks on end. Having said that, all your points are valid.

I use 3mm comms cord, it doesn’t stretch like 550 and isn’t as prone to tangling either. It has been more than strong enough as well. I pinched Greencraft’s idea of using a toggle on the end. He did admit that jungle knots wasn’t his idea, although he did say he adapted it to use with said toggles. I make up lengths of around 10 feet. I wrap the cord around the toggles, and dump them in a pouch along with my ridge line and extra 550 paracord.

@@Mat-kr1nf I don't know what 'Comms Cord' is? I mean I guess it is an abbreviation for Communications Cord, but I don't know what it is made from and 3mm - doesn't it cut into the tree bark? Jungle string has its uses, but I find it is bulky to hank and store if you're making long ridge lines plus it uses a lot of cordage to make up the lengths over using straight cordage. I designed my own Robert's Toggle system for ordinary Paracord or any cordage rapid ridgeline use, but I don't really see how or the need for Toggles with Jungle String and I am a great believer in using Toggles to spread the load through eyelets etc. I'll have to go back and look at what Neal did in his video as there was a spate of Jungle Cord/String videos came out weeks/months after mine. Bex Bugout Survivor did one too and a bloke in Finland was quoting John Cord in Finnish which I found amusing. Looking forward to finding out what 'Comms Cord' is. Cheers.

@@RobertsBulgaria Hi Robert first, apologies, it known as “comms”, not, “coms”🤓. Secondly, it’s 1.5mm, not 3mm. Anyway, you’re right, it’s communications cord (had very enlightening read on how it’s usemd and how to set up a temporary base, sentry placements and the like!). To be quite honest, I never considered about wether it would damage the bark, The trees where I camp tend to be either birch, hazel or willow, so not so much of an issue. I find the toggles handy for putting through the hanging strap things on my tarp, or for fastening two lengths together, plus just for wrapping the cord round for storage. I also just like the look of them to be honest!🤷‍♂️😂 Here’s where I got mine, I was looking for 3mm paracord and found this, thought it might work, and it did! www.endicotts.co.uk/collections/bungees-para-cords-and-elastics/products/comms-cord-1-5mm-x-30-metres-premium-olive

@@Mat-kr1nf That makes perfect sense and I am of the opinion that there are no Tablets of Stone or Rule Book on which Knots one uses, which Tarp configuration one uses, it is up to the individual to find what works best for them albeit, KZbin in this genre has to be about sharing ideas and methods and not telling viewers that they must have must buy this that or the other. 👍

@@RobertsBulgaria Absolutely! It’s a smorgasbord of ideas to peruse and consume as one wishes!😋😁. I watched one video about ultra light tracking or camping. Evidently, he and his pals laugh at people using plastic Nalgene bottles!😩 Probably won’t have anything to do with anybody not wearing this season’s “must have on pain of death (or social exclusion) high end fleece made from the belly fluff of an albino, Siamese twin Angorra rabbit!😂. Nope, I’ll stick with KZbinr’s who keep it real you. 🧐 P.S. I had a holiday in Bulgaria a few years ago, beautiful country, Wild flowers everywhere. We were on the coast near Varna, at Sozopol, happily, not too near Happy Beach. 😂. Would love to camp in the forests in the mountains,amazing!

Aye mate, already done, cheers 👍
