EZ Up Canopy Tie Down Hack - Fastest way to secure a 10x10 Canopy

This is how I secure my 10x10 EZ up tent canopy when wind is not in the forecast. Works well for light winds and is very easy. If you dont have a heavy table you can use a screw in type earth anchor. This works best if there is a bench there! lol. `

He's right to the point

[@jessesalcido2562]

LOL!! 5 STAR ACTING TRIPPING.. I have been a victim for the trip line several times. Thanks to you never again!! Keep the ideas coming!! Thanks

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

No, that wasn't on purpose. He just totally happened to be filming at at the time I tripped LOL. It's certainly not ideal for every situation. But if you need a quick tie-down. This works good

[@tnn-obsessedpatriot6196]

I think I've added dozens of views for this one. I have to come back to this every dang time I go camping because I can't remember that dang slip not hitch thingy. Lol

[@oregonsnob31]

Same!!

[@chrisurfer83]

That knot is more useful than the whole rest of the video! Thanks!

[@spaz2064]

This guy is perfect for helping you putting up canopy

[@allanmahmod4264]

Excellent Video. Very helpful and you appear to be VERY COMPETENT giving tutorials!! Thank You, Very Much Appreciated my friend!!

[@angierox6964]

Nice! I also bought some weights that you can add either sand or water and they velcro to the legs at the bottom. Love the center tie down idea and thanks for the knot! 🎪

[@AndreBarnett]

LOVED THIS!!!!!!!

[@AbsoluteStud]

Havent thought of this. Perfect solution. Plus the truckers not deal- that's staple right there, only way to get a rope taught and tied with two hands. Plus this wasn't a 12 minutee video. Subrscribed.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks for the subscribe Jason! Yeah the trucker hitch is one of my favorite knots. It has its downsides but overall a super simple useful rigging hitch

[@tiffanyash]

This is awesome - so much better. Thanks!

[@Carraroebouncingcastles]

WOW AMAZING VIDEO VERY EDUCATIONAL

No problem! Hopefully it comes in handy someday. Definitely a Time Saver

Love the music also

[@randybeckner2556]

Damn Professor thanks for the education!

[@dirtdogs12ify]

Instead of pinching to make your half hitch just put the end of the line through your loop one more time and pull tight it will self lock. Thanks for sharing 🤙🏼

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that out

[@stevenbouchie521]

thanks bud awesome

[@Patriotalliance]

Good tip!

[@boarding711]

thx! I'm trying to keep a 10x20 canopy down. Hope it works!

Yes!itmay

[@OurHumbleLife]

LOL...intro.....Great Vid..THANK YOU

[@TheHumanSwissArmyKnife]

good job nice hack

[@chekoperalta5543]

How about a prusik knot. It's adjustable and better than truckers hitch I believe. Great idea non the less!

[@dorothyandrews8872]

I have a tent the same as yours it came with netting for bugs, but when it rains we get wet, so I bought what is called rain curtains that go on the outside of the netting to keep us dry. The problem was I got the wrong size and its too big. it is for a 10x10 square canopy tent but mine is floor 10x10 and the top of the poles are 8x8. Do you have an easy fix for me to fit the rain curtain, as it is awkward and it's too big and the wind makes the curtains billow,? Am a senior lady and am stuck !!

[@Bigpunstacostand420]

He be a good car sales man

[@BrandyKnutson]

hello is the black tent hot in the summer? do you find it makes a difference?

[@mimiseeyou]

Scorpions- Wind of Change. That would have me a blubbering mess in my drinking days lol cool hack thanks!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

I was slightly tuned up in this video. Been thinking about kicking drinking. You don't drink anymore?

[@mimiseeyou]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow Haha not hating. Yes I quit cold turkey last June when I got drunk and forgot to make my son’s 1st birthday cake the day before his party. I had to buy a store cake. Family all came in and had RV’s and tents everywhere. Hadn’t drank much since before pregnancy. I don’t want to be a spaced out mom, and I can’t just drink 3-4 beers like a normal person. Tbh I had prayed about it on my own before him but never stopped.. but after how disappointed I was in myself FOR HIM I think it was the 1st time I really meant it. I literally laugh every time I camp or grill out now and pay for Odoul’s 😂 I put a coozie on and no big deal.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Damn, yeah but forgetfulness stuff can really bite you. That's actually one of the main reasons I've been thinking about kicking it. Feel like as I'm getting older I'm getting more and more forgetful and drinking is probably not helping. Hats off to you for kicking it cold turkey!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

And that's funny about the O'Doul's! I don't believe I've ever even tried O'Doul's. Maybe I'll give it a go.

[@mimiseeyou]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow The brain fog is real! I know right! It gets so much better within a month. I’m social and talkative. I just like the taste of beer and having one in my hand around a camp fire. The first time you wake up in your tent to the smoldering heat and not dehydrated and hungry and head pounding... you’ll feel a sensational sense of accomplishment you’ve never experienced with work or projects haha. Being able to hop in a kayak or hike the next morning and not worrying about your hangover level is worth the push! Even if you can’t master it every time... I wanted to be able to have a few real beers and just rotate... but I’m a maniac and can’t accomplish that lol.

[@luisg1653]

Nice Tundra

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

thx man

[@Muffin1280]

Great soundtrack to this video 😅

Thank you

[@chrisox]

Scorpions playing in the background....Nice !

[@robmckee5295]

Great tip. Thank you.

[@godsmizzack]

I just did the same, but, I used a ratchet strap instead of the rope.

[@lindaboyack3164]

Good idea. Staking it down and using weights at corners helps too. It’s required for event vendors. BTW…it’s “guy lines” not “guide. ;-)

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah that's what I said. Guy lines. Maybe it came out like guidelines because I had a couple drinks.

[@AlJohnsonLasVegas]

I use orange ratchet straps connected to 24 inch stakes as well as nails in the corners. Ive lived through 50 mph winds with that setup

[@rwind656]

You said, "I use orange ratchet straps connected to 24 inch stakes as well as nails in the corners." for ez tent tie down. Please tell me again? Where do you attach the ratchet straps on the tent? And where are the stakes? Ty.

[@brianschenker]

Can't go wrong with the Scorpions

[@melroze2010ify]

Great salesman

[@debrakay9070]

Looking for a 10'x10"

[@ramonadolese97]

Real truth lol

[@64maxpower]

That's genus

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

That's what my friend Dave said when I tied it up like that he was like "dude you should make a video on this!" Looking back at the video I don't know how genius it really is but it works!

[@64maxpower]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow EZ ups are used a lot at dirt bike races and many times the pit are has dirt too hard to pound stakes into. And I'm paranoid about the EZup becoming a big sail

[@64maxpower]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow I put that on the motocross forum.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@64maxpower awesome! Really appreciate you sharing it. Thanks

[@AlJohnsonLasVegas]

i see you have a one pound propane for a lighter, I also do that for lighting everything

[@stevecrowe176]

Also add 300mm landscaping screws into the ground through the base plate of the 4 legs. Thank me later.. From the land down under.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Good thing about your way the cord will cause the ez up to loose it's rigidity. Making it less a sail more a jellyfish.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Still rigid today. No problem

[@jakeforeman4854]

If you don't want to tie a knot you can use a ratchet strap.

[@coachtim6188]

Lost you at the pinch and make another Slipknot part. Can't see in the video which lines you are tying the slip knot to. I'm out here at the campground trying and every time I tried to finish it, the line gets slack in it and guitar string doesn't happen

[@AW-Services]

Just make some sandbag leg weights. Saves stressing and breaking the boss

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Too much effort. And there's not always sand available. This is all about the quick lazy way LOL

[@truckcampertraveler7369]

Everybody loves lugging sand bags to camp

[@AW-Services]

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

They're called guy-lines silly

[@SarasotaTim]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow to me it sounded like you kept repeating guidelines. But if you weren’t apologies. I actually called them that at one time even sounds better to me lol. 😎

It’s not going to work you put your beer down.

Thumbs up 👍 and not a bad thing to learn 🥸
