How To Hang Your Pack When Backpacking - "Quick Trick"

[@PurplemonkeyHS]

This is why I subscribe :D

[@rolomanification]

Love this method. Thanks for sharing. Pro tip- don't do it on a sticky pine tree

[@rogerparrett3242]

Why am I just now finding this channel?? *This* is what I like. Simple, quick, and right to the point. Subscribed.

[@IntenseAngler]

Welcome on board my friend :) Thank you very much for the kind words and support by the way... means alot! All the best.... -John

[@TBcinema]

I used to take the chest and hip clips and stretch them out and wrap those around the tree. I like the amount of separation this gives you from the ground and the trunk. Super lightweight way of keeping your nice gear NICE and SAFE. Love it. Thanks!

[@Oldsparkey]

The Marlin Spike hitch is a handy one for camping. I use it like you demonstrated in this video for the pack. I use about 6 feet of para cord. Use it to hang my hammock with the tree straps and whoopee slings. I also use it on the guide lines for the rain fly. It makes taking the rain fly down really easy , pull the ground steaks and the knot disappears.

[@rickcortes_7654]

It’s like a brother I haven’t seen in a while. Thanks for the video and hope to see more.

[@bond007xxx]

Excellent idea. I often do same/similar using carabiner on upper loop, but that puts a lot more stress on that nylon loop. One warning - seal all snacks/food in pack using ziplocks ...ants / spiders, etc on tree LOVE exploring such packs. Have considered using some kind of standoff (foam block? short/fat PVC pipe?) to push pack (and straps) 2" away from trunk. coat w/vaseline to reduce crawling things. also keeps rain (night?) from running down tree and soaking pack.

[@erikgiggey4783]

so awesome to have you back, miss these types of vids. that is the knot i use on my stakes for my tarp pull the stake out and pull the cord and poof knots gone

[@outbackwack368]

Excellent... again! Now I learned another knot too! Missed you here, John! Keep the faith, bro!

[@Yellow.Dog.]

Sweet trick, John! I like how it hangs on the straps rather than the grab handle. Will use this for BP and maybe a couple other items to tidy up camp a bit. ATB, Bill

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Bill... really appreciate that my brother! And yeah, hanging it from the straps definitely helps distribute the load of a full pack much better... and ya don't risk tearing out the lil' grab handle. ATB... -John

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Used this yesterday and it’s great. I sure wish you still made videos.

[@inspireAson]

Sure beats picking the pack off of the ground when it’s time to get moving again. Great tip buddy :) - Chris

[@fredb.3618]

Outstanding tip. Love the simplicity of it. Thank you.

[@GreybeardtheSurvivor]

WAY better setup than how I was doing it! Thanks John. 👍👍

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome my friend! Sure hope it comes in handy for you :)

[@snaponjohn100]

That’s a great tip John. Be blessed my friend. John

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much my Brother. All the best... -John

[@stevekrewson9502]

Pretty cool. I clip onto my top loop. I always worry it will tear. I never once thought about using a stick to put under both shoulder straps! Just goes to show how people think so differently and how we can learn from each other. Thanks for the tip John. Take care.

[@stevenscott5212]

Wow man that’s awesome!! You should think about publishing a book on your great tips and idea. Take care brother

[@donsherman4403]

Great idea. I will definitely share this idea with the Boy Scout Troop that I work with. Thanks.

[@bryanr.3241]

I have that same pack , it's an awesome pack for the money. Thanks for another great tip 👍

[@bobbyf7151]

Hey, glad to see ya again. I climb trees, and the first knot we use is the running bowline, and the second hitch you used is pretty close to what we use to send a drink up to the climber. Instead of grabbing only one strand of rope, grap both, and you'll be able to send an open cup of coffee, water, soda...up to the climber. Give it a try

[@VicChak]

Thank you. I love you videos and the quick tricks is my favorites.

[@IntenseAngler]

You're welcome Victor. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoy them my friend.

[@rickmorley9948]

Nice trick, John. Have seen a similar one by The Prepared Wanderer that uses a toggle and the grab handle, but I like the marlinspike hitch and stick on the straps. Keep hem coming!

[@andy_in_nh9243]

I normally girth hitch a loop of cordage with a small carabiner around the tree and hang the pack from that, but I really like the addition of the stick. I'll give it a try!

[@IntenseAngler]

Right on. Hope that addition helps my friend!

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

Great advice.. also, when you hang your pack , do you see *that white / yellow spot on the tree bark? That is PITCH.* On a warm day you will cuss yourself if you get that sticky pitch on your shoulder straps. The good news is pitch is the best fire starter in the world. When you scrape it off, just stay shallow since it is covering a wound on the tree. It also works great as a bandage when it is warmed up. Cheers!

[@Flashahol]

Best pack hanging trick and video I've seen so far! I will definitely use it this winter, thank you so much! P.S.: I can tell it is extremely easy to adjust the height. It's almost like magic!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment my friend... means alot! Happy Trails....

[@sandringall]

Great idea! I like to hang my pack off trees if there is a small nub of a broken branch, but can't always find one. If you have a heavy pack, may I suggest using webbing instead of rope. Save the trees ya know? I use that Marlin Spike Hitch to tie my hammock up. Great knot.

[@ponderinghiker]

AWESOME TRICK!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Will no doubt be using this during my upcoming PCT thru hike....

[@IntenseAngler]

Right on! Can't tell you how awesome it is to hear that this will come in handy for you on the PCT! Hope you have an epic time out there my friend!

[@BackpackBushcraft]

Cool trick. Never seen it done that way. Gonna try that out. Thanks for the tip.

[@WesFosterHere]

Love your tips and tricks. You're one cool guy.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Wes :)

[@gregr501]

Great tip John! Glad to see you making videos again. I’ve used many of your tips, keep’m coming...

[@wm819]

Great tip! Never thought about using the straps

[@RideAlongside]

Love the toggle style tips brother!

[@keghinian]

Appreciate the effort of the people to take the time to create educational videos.

[@EthanDavis.w]

What I do is cut a limb to look like a hook then notch out a place for me to secure it to a tree with some rope. This looks a lot less time consuming. Thanks for another great tip man!

[@Myn6211]

Thanks for showing how to do this in such a clear, precise manner. Much appreciated.

[@ironbilly53]

John great having you back! can't wait to try this

[@WhatsUpWithSheila]

Tried this in my last vid.. absolutely did work!!!👍

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

That is a cool little trick, Thanks for sharing

[@uptrail7169]

Great idea! Thanks John

[@IntenseAngler]

Appreciate that my brother!

[@LarryVickery]

I thought, "That's a dumb YT subject...but then I watched it. Great tip!

[@FaunusOnYT]

Cool quick tip! Thanx a lot Daniel

[@007Narsil007]

That's a great idea and I'm really glad to see you back making videos again!

[@mrdonelsonglhs]

Great tip! Thanks John!!!

[@WasatchWill]

Love this tip and how it doesn't require hardware. I've rigged up something very similar in the past with paracord but also used a carabiner. Thanks for sharing!

[@louisehiker9246]

I really like these short and sweet tip videos. Thanks John!

[@Love2Wander]

Hood info brother and it's good to see you back. You been missed

[@ThePyleDriver]

I do a similar hang but usually use a horizontal branch so the pack doesn't touch the tree - out here (Tahoe) the pines have a lot of pitch and it gets all over the pack when it rests against the trunk. Thanks for the video!

[@zrig1]

Check the tree for pitch where you plan to hang your pack ... Will never come out and for some unknown force of nature stays sticky all season ... :). Great tip.

[@peterhuggins9267]

Great video, as always. I'm gonna use this on my next trip, as it seems like a much better way to hang my pack.

[@edgit69]

Happy to see you putting out some videos.. Thanks

[@phebefriddle9133]

Great tip John! Thanks 🤔😊

[@ISashaI]

I'm forever looking for nails on trees at campsites, sometimes with no avail, and I'm not about to put one in. This trick will come in handy one day for sure.... just gotta practice that hitch knot a bit

[@MstrRo]

Nice idea. Try a hammock tree strap for less tree abrasion.

[@WestCoastRoller]

Great tip! Thanks! 👍✌

[@jgbsweeper7325]

Thanks for sharing.

[@agnosjr]

Awesome thank you for sharing it. Best regards.

[@Cr0cket20]

Great tip John.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Crocket. Anything that helps cut down on the post-trip gear cleaning is a winner in my book. By the way, I'll be heading down to your neck of the woods come early Spring. If you're interested (or have the time) in getting out for a day or two let me know. Be cool to finally get to meet... and hang around a campfire of course ;)

[@Cr0cket20]

IntenseAngler sounds good. Just let me know dates when you get them.

[@IntenseAngler]

Right on man. Will do.

[@7LIG]

Thank you John.

[@FloridaAdventurers]

Hey! Backpack twins! We are eager to see some trail logs! Glad you’re back -Adrian

[@magicjones2431]

Sweet... Great idea John.. tks for info...

[@XombieLiz27]

Thank you for the tip. Nice to see a new video. Take care.

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@mattg2935]

Very nice idea.

[@billh4121]

Thanks. Super cool hack!

[@michaelbradley3096]

I picked this trick up several years ago but have medium size caribiner on the handle loop between the shoulder pads. I have to tie the role to the free a bit higher but can then keep my straps under most of the rain cover. In case of major rain i then can hang pack with caribiner on my hammock under the tarp. But hanging on the free makes unpacking a breeze.

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

nice tip.. thanks for sharing!
