DIY Daisy Chain Quick Ties

[@thomasj.dempseyjr.1373]

Chris, Used two of these on my recent 55 mile trip on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail in Western, PA. They're so simple and effective. Thank you!

[@SierraOfficial]

+Thomas J. Dempsey, Jr. You're welcome! Simple and effective is exactly what they're supposed to be, so that's great to hear. Glad they did the trick. Thanks! :) - Chris

[@RViscara]

Great tip and a useful one. I like to use ranger bands in a similar way. The rubber of the Ranger band gives a bit of give to the connection.

[@SierraOfficial]

RViscara Nice! That's a great idea. How much weight do you carry with them and how well do they hold up? - Chris

[@YellowDogWelding]

Very cool and timely tip, Chris! Just received/purchased the Rab Alpine 45 b/p that you had on special and was looking for good ways to attach some extra goodies.

[@SierraOfficial]

Yellowdog Welding Very cool. You must be a subscriber of AdventureArchives? Glad you enjoyed the tip and we hope the pack helps you go on some awesome adventures. Thanks for watching! :) - Chris

[@YellowDogWelding]

Yes, on subscribing to +AdventureArchives. A very nice group of young folks that truly enjoy the outdoors. Their video work is some of the best here on YT.

Love love LOVE this! Just made a few for my next backpacking trip!

[@dr.rongoldstein1633]

Great tip -- looks like a great modification of a type of marlin spike hitch...

[@SierraOfficial]

Dr. Ron Goldstein Glad you liked the tip! :) - Chris

[@cwiehle0]

Pretty slick dude, thanks. I'm a mountain biker w/hydration pack so I'll need to find a way to utilize this an secure it more so it's not floppy

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

If you have a dog, the inner core of doggy bags are perfect size for this. Made of plastic and small, not like toilet paper tubes ... I use those for a number of things like rolling duct tape around them for a few feet of edc tape.

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Awesome, just what I was looking for lately

[@SierraOfficial]

Nature Calls Glad you found what you were looking for. It's always fun trying to think of ways to make things simpler. If you make some of these, you'll have to let me know what you think. Thanks for watching, Bruce. :) - Chris

[@idiotbox37]

Great tip, thanks!

[@SierraOfficial]

Jason Lykins Glad you liked the tip Jason. It's surprisingly simple and works with a ton of different items. If you try it out you'll have to let us know how it works for you. - Chris

[@mistersmith3986]

[@SierraOfficial]

+mister smith Thanks! You're too kind. :) We're glad you enjoyed it. :) - Chris

[@AdventureArchives]

Oh my god this is so brilliant. I'm telling Andrew to make some of these for us immediately haha. -Robby

[@SierraOfficial]

AdventureArchives Awesome! Glad you found this helpful. Also, way to delegate the task to Andrew ha. ;) It's nice because they're very lightweight, especially considering the fact that you don't have any excess cord to deal with. - Chris

[@ortamatama5479]

hi great video, can anyone here tells me if it rains then the shoes hung would get wet right? is it okay to let it remain wet or do we have to quickly cover the shoes? thank you!

[@jasperisiahpacite8102]

[@runningoffinstinct]

Awesome tip!

[@markwilson963]

Brilliant, love it

[@ProjectConrad]

This is what Ive been needing! Thanks man! 2018 and still helpful

[@hogue3666]

Make a video on minimizing the SWAY that you get while walking after tying items to your molly webbing. I'd like that too. :) It drives me crazy!

[@chrissing64]

10 out of 10 for thinking through this problem. But for me personally anything attached to a pack that is swinging around loose is not properly attached, likely to snag and get lost also it is irritating. To be honest I cannot see the point in the daisy chain especially on some packs that only have one single row. Personally I think they add these to make an ordinary pack look more useful that it actually is. I would go with a Molle system much more versatile and useful , especially if combined with velcro or bungee cord not so much para cord for attaching extra pouches etc.

[@cnawan]

Clever :) but I'm a knot fancier so I'll take the opportunity to tie a bowline or something

[@SierraOfficial]

cnawan ha, there's nothing wrong with knowing a lot of knots. Thanks for watching! :) - Chris

[@Dantick09]

Nice, I l use these to attach bobbles to molle xD

[@niurgunnazarov]

nice

[@zchuss1]

so you have made a soft shackle, you do not need the pen if you want to make one on the fly.

[@charleshollow5734]

Wgood video, but why are you always out of breath?

[@SierraOfficial]

Charles Hollow I didn't feel out of breath while I was shooting, but I see what you're mean. I guess I'm just a heavy breather lol. Glad you liked the video though, and I'll keep your feedback in mind. :) - Chris
