I am starting to suspect that Felix Immler is actually a serial killer, hiding in plain sight. Nobody is this nice.

[@davidjacobs828]

Excellent video felix. Could you please do a video on other applications for this tensioner? Eg.. Using it for ridge lines, guy lines and as a substitute for the truckers hitch etc etc etc

[@leonardogranados2733]

In US we know that piece of wood as a "toggle". Your video is highly professional, doable and effective

[@niagaramike]

Will that work with natural cord like hemp or sisal?

[@pierrech]

As a Swiss, I might be biased, but Felix' videos are among the few I can safely give a thumb up even before watching them. 👏😉

As a Canadian I can be unbiased and agree :)

[@rahuldoes]

And, an Indian in India?

As a Czech, I agree. One of the best videos and most reliable guides. One of my favourite channels, along with Corporals corner and Coalcracker bushcraft.

That is awesome and is a cordage trick I will be using myself since I often have a need for such. Thumbs up.

Hello Lonni, Nice that I was able to give you something back with this idea thanks to Felix. Have subscribed to your channel for years and learned a lot from you. Canada is still a big dream of mine.

I use every tool on it regularly (except maybe the hook). The corkscrew and mini screwdriver have so many uses. Felix did a whole series on SAK uses and in most, he used a Huntsman.

Nice. I love Swiss army knives. I have carried one always since 1985. A month or three after I got out of US navy boot camp, I purchased my first, a Tinker, with one of my first navy paychecks.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

This is brilliant Felix, thanks for sharing it with us! Way better than buying cheap plastic tensioners from China, or even bungie cords. I love how you used it for the ridgeline too. I watched the original Bushcraft & Nature video too and I love how he set up his ridgeline. I'm definitely implementing these! I've already made one (with my SAK) to try it out, although it's not as nice looking as yours. I'll be making lots more. The great thing is that if it breaks or gets lost we can always make more in the field.

I like the "little trick", really how to make a small, but potentially VERY useful tool. However, I would change the knots used. The loop, well, there is simply no reason it should not be a bowling, if you know how to tie one, and you should. Second, for the other end of the paracord, I would use a "Figure 8" knot. Otherwise, thanks. I like it a lot.
