THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I have some coming in the mail any day now. This will really help with my upcoming camping trip.

I can't believe I have been using this the wrong way forever! Good video my man.

[@wondermonkeyoutdoors]

Thanks, I appreciate the video. Now that I watch the two ways you use this, I get how it works and can come up with other ways to put them to work for me.

[@jackrenner9494]

Great instructional video. Super helpful for many things on film sets. Thanks

[@stephenmcvay5368]

To make a stopper-knot for the end of the cord a loose figure-8 tightened up into a ball works very well. Good video.

[@elimiller5841]

Thanks Guy! Stoked to use these on my new rainfly for my hammock setup!

[@everythingexceptnothing-bl4806]

Thanks for watching!

[@kivaswander5537]

I’m glad I know this on top of the standard method, which I think you may have actually done incorrectly. However the first method you showed is great for extra security.

[@alltheseflavors]

Thank you I couldnt find much on how to use these 👍

[@stefalf5199]

Hi Black ! thank's a lot for your help ! hello from South France !

[@FAILSAFE89]

Awesome video!! Looking forward to giving mine a try now

[@Oregun]

Nice tutorial, thanks!

[@jefff4188]

I've seen them sold by the name "Loop Alien". Good instructional video! :)

[@everythingexceptnothing-bl4806]

I have also seen them under the same name. They seem to work well but I'm not sure if I will get much actual use out of them...

[@jefff4188]

@@everythingexceptnothing-bl4806 i prefer the figure 9 tensioners over these - easier for anyone to use.

So simple yet so complicated

[@WilliamParmley]

That was great! I have a set coming tomorrow and was hoping I could figure out how to use them. :-) Also, glad to have the link to the steel version, I may order some of those too.

[@steveosuch720]

I found the twist made the tensioner want to spin back and harder to work with on smaller cord because that spin was counter to the locking force and reduced the baseline locking force. I like your idea of locking it better in place so I tried twisting the loop itself before you pull it over the device and tight to the medium eyelet and it was solidly locked in place but instead of twisting the cord it crisscrosses the eyelet like a midshipman's knot does on the cordage without using a tensioner. It locks it somewhere in between your method and doing nothing at all.Thanks for the video.

[@everythingexceptnothing-bl4806]

Thanks for watching. I mostly camp our of my camper nowadays but still like playing with all my old gear!

[@sandersjones1577]

That’s a first for me and I like it.

[@kivaswander5537]

This is cool, not the standard method, but more secure.

[@ronson-natsarim]

You should try the Nite Ize Figure 9. I think it’s even simpler and more intuitive.

[@upstatecre8]

Well taught!

[@ImMora1]

Good advice, but just knowing prusik and truckers hitch will do the same (maybe bowline too depending on the wanted use)

[@honortruth3600]

Some advantages to using hardware tensioners are: 1. they can reduce some stress and wear on your cordage 2. they're typically easier to use with gloved or very cold hands 3. they're easier to do one-handed if you've sustained an injury to the other hand/arm That said, everyone should definitely learn and memorize the basic method you've mentioned to do it without hardware, since it's important to not be fully dependent on losable/breakable doodads

[@ImMora1]

@@honortruth3600 those are fair points. I myself do use one at the end of my ridgeline to create a fixed loop instead of bowline as it is faster in a pinch, other than that I prefer prusik loops with toggles from branches for tensioning the tarp and the truckers hitch for tensioning the ridgeline.

[@lynnpreston4293]

hmmmmm 6y ago ? i like your Type1 application. i tie a "block & tackle" for TIGHT Lines but your video got me thinking about using these to reduce line-wear camp much ? ever set up a tent ? or a tarp ? (not a pretend tarp) with loose lines ? its an interesting doo-dad but for TENT LINES & TARPS this Eagle Scout says: Use a TAUNT LINE HITCH (2 on the inside & 1 on the outside, all in the same direction) for camp craft tensioners these are pretty much junque > no advantage > theres better knots NOW FOR KITE FLYERS that want to add a flag, windsock, dangle a key or a bell, pendants "line laundry" "sky trash" on their kite lines these FIGURE-8+ 's (is what i call them) ARE THE SCHNITZ ! THEY'RE WONDERFUL! they will accommodate 4mm paracord & 6mm kite string no problem easy to add an anchor point or top stabilizing line wherever you need it for kite string LARGER than 6mm use a standard Figure-8 descender GO FLY A KITE !

[@mrjcbuc]

It sounds like this would work well to stake a volleyball net that needs to be very tight.

Sweet

Tautline hitch...Booyah

[@philliplabbe4409]

Not at all a tautline hitch. A tautline hitch is a sliding friction knot

[@curtisyastic4130]

I was like 'but that is a tree'

[@chas333]

Thanks. Hopefully these hold up at Burning Man.

[@jr5389]

Nice to meet a paranoid person just like myself.............👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤪

[@CroPrepper]

or just learn how to tie a taut line hitch

[@justaguy427]

or a truckers hitch

[@FlippyHambone]

or an adjustable grip hitch or a siberian hitch...

[@rinsecycle]

not sure what the problem is, but my cord will not easily slip and I am unable to tighten the line.

[@justaguy427]

That's a pricey truckers hitch.. lol

Here's the best way to use them - faster and allows you to tighten it much more and easier to release: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4TPepyEgcxsgpY

Truckers hitch

[@atsstockburn]

Messy video. Hard to follow.

[@outdoorsman357]

U can use a carabiner and larks-head and do the same thing in was less time,that little piece of junk is a wast of money 💰

[@mindfulicious]

Confusing

[@twotone3426]

Waaaay too complicated. Just get the significantly better tensioner made by Nite Ize, the Figure 9 carabiner.

[@jeffharper410]

Ez pz.

[@Kaiesis]

Can't see anything. Need to focus the camera on what you're talking about. This just screams amateur.

[@everythingexceptnothing-bl4806]

And so it is. Thanks for the constructive criticism.

[@travelingtiv]

Ridiculous

[@philliplabbe4409]

You can forget all this fidgety trouble and just use a trucker’s hitch. So much easier, and all you need is cord
