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 . .

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.

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

You could get paracord or similar for ridge line and use 4 prussic loops out of smaller diameter line just add 2 knots for tarp side .. one knot will go thru eye hole and then on top of other knot then pull prussic tight the other prussic's are for tree side just pass thru cord and tie a bunny ear ...When done camp just pull and go no sticks required ...For tarp just pop knot thru ...I have been using for along time now for tarp and hammock setup ...I use bunny ear on all my stuff if need more security use a pinky size stick in bunny ear and pull tight ...Try all the hanging stuff at home before you go in woods or camp ...

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.

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.

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 .
