Corporals Corner I love this quick loop and toggle system.

[@colewebb4643]

Corporals Corner thank you Corporal Kelly I allway's injoy you'r video's 👍👍👍only finally got to watch I'm all for simplicity allway's hated big oh shits and how to many people turn something simple in to a big oh shit every one around me panicking and I'm going yah right what ever you think I'm also for being perpared ahead of time all ready got done and the people around me are trying to untangle there mess 😃😃😃😆 Corporal Kelly is C😎😎L and I salute you back you and you'r family have a great 🎆🎆🎆4th or July 🎆🎆🎆 C😎😎L

[@scottbeil126]

Would be interested in learning more about hygiene. Only seen a few vids related; bushcraft related.

[@HaggardOutdoors]

Corporals Corner Are you from Ohio as well J town?

[@recall5811]

I am from the West Coast but teach in Ohio. Thanks for watching

[@brentaddison1973]

I was just laughing about how you do your ridgeline exactly the same way I do mine, then I realized I saw this video a few months ago and this is where I got the idea from. Thanks Corporal!

[@Gabe1520]

I use to go camping all the time when I was younger. Watching your videos has got me excited to get back into it! Thanks so much and keep it up!

[@PMurray2694]

Only a few months? God damn you're smoking that good stuff

[@maxmac4789]

The best thing about this channel is that he demonstrates EVERYTHING. You see him do exactly what he says, and it works.

[@jasonkinter9700]

Not true. He did not demonstrate the trucker's hitch for the other end of the ridge line. That was what I wanted to see. Otherwise, yes, his video is pretty good.

[@chasingthetrail9375]

Jason Kinter he does show it in most of his other videos lol

[@knifeaddict1014]

Yea I know a few others don’t they be doing something different or talking in some way that I have no clue how to follow

[@RattledEditor]

yeah, I just gotta pause the video to go learn how to make a fisherman's knot, first 🤔🤔 then figure out about how long each of those 3 bank lines oughta be. lol. Love to learn but being soo new makes ALL of this new stuff

[@lukec1651]

​@@RattledEditorfingertip to elbow for the small loops and fingertip to armpit for the large loop.

[@fakename7753]

Ive modified this a little bit. I have a lot of bugs where I am at so I have two UCO candle lanterns with citronella candles. I added two more big loops for a total of 3 big loops. This gives me the two small loops for securing my tarp, then two for the UCO lanterns at either end of the tarp (if its a standard A frame or similar) and one for other hanging stuff in the center. I have found this works really well.

[@Jmlittle844]

I have to put my money where my mouth is and thank your for teaching me this lesson. The quick deploy ridgeline is a life changer. I figure KZbin likes money, so the more I give to you and the more they scalp from you, the more they are willing to promote your channel... hopefully. I'm going to give more on one of your land nav videos because those are my favorite. I know they're not that popular with the masses, but the masses are full of fools who get lost in the woods.

[@SniperTrader7733]

This video is a timesaver in the field. I decided to hike 3 miles to a remote area today with all my raw materials; tarp, cordage, stakes, and had nothing unpackaged from when I purchased them. It took me over an hour being a novice to setup the emergency tarp for the first time in my life. In the process of setting up the ridge line and tarp for the first time out of the package, I constructed Corporal’s rapid deploy ridge line, now it only takes me a few minutes to set up. I will practice the two minute drill. I would rate this as one of the most underrated videos. This video is #1 on my list.

[@Big-Government-Is-The-Problem]

oof thats a good thing you were not in a real emergency. i tested out my warbonnnet blackbird XL hammock and tarp setup at my house and it was the first time i ever tried using a hammock or tarp and i didnt know any knots except for whatever that basic knot is that you learn as a child, needless to say, it took like 2 hours and it was setup very sub-optimally. im sure you know this by now, but for anyone else reading, test out your gear at home before trying it in the wild. if it was dropping freezing rain i would have been screwed! this is especially true for tarps and tents. so many people buy cheap or even some very expensive tents and they take them into the wild and it turns out the product leaks even if setup properly.

[@sadiqaliabdullah129]

THIS IS A GREAT CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS TO LEARN THE MOST BASIC FOR OF CAMPING

[@grimmliberty7447]

I watch this about once every three months, because the beauty of it still impresses me. It's like visiting an art gallery, same exhibit, different experience.

[@khomol]

Hands down best video on KZbin about this topic

[@thomaslester8702]

I like your videos because you keep the plain, simple, and to the point. No elaborate setups or unnecessary B.S. That's the way it should be. Good job. I use a larger tarp so I have a few more drop lines and anchor points but the pre-made ridge line works great especially when you need to make a shelter in a hurry, lime when it is about to or is raining. Also practice setting up your shelter when you don't need it and in different places even those that you normally wouldn't, that way you will be prepared if or when you need to do it in a hurry or a survival situation. You don't always have a lot of time to get it done in and it's always best to be prepared for any situation...

[@damonthomas8955]

Simple, direct, fast and useful, who could ask for more?

[@phreload1]

I can attest this is so simple and easy to set up. Just made one following along and it is in my hiking pack. 2 minute rain shelter that packs back up just as fast!

[@stefanbertasz4690]

Out of every video explaining this method, yours is the best. You're a great teacher. TY!

[@hetheringtonfamily8798]

I love this. As a single mum who was never taught these things I am very grateful for your easy to follow instructions

[@nseight]

Corporal Corner*You are by far the best teacher* Thank you so much for your knowledge*

[@tobiaspiering]

I incorporated this into my SAR pack for my shelter requirement. What a great system. Thanks for educating us!

[@ParrotHead1809]

Just a quick note to tell you that I prepared your ridgeline system as you detail here over a year ago when I first saw this video, and tucked it in my bag. Well, this weekend we were camping and needed to quickly deploy a tarp. I pulled this out of my kit and had it up in no time. Great one. I passed your video onto my camping buddies. Thanks again!

[@mrbr549]

Finally, someone who makes knot tying easy to fathom! Never thought about making a ridge line setup BEFORE it was needed either. What a useful video, thanks!

[@DirtyDirtbath]

I wanted to come back and say I made a few of these quick deploy Ridgelines of different lengths and weights and I finally got to use them on a camping trip I just went on. From hanging a silnylon tarp over my hammock to hanging a heavy duty 20' over camp, the ease of this ready to go ridgeline is top notch and blew the minds of those I was camping with, not only with how efficient and fast it went up .. but how much faster it came down. Pull this, pull that, remove toggle and its down. Literally can't get any easier than that! 10/10 corporals corner is the best channel on KZbin

[@slowfaller]

Just got home from boundary waters and my friends called me the knot master because I know a bowline, marline spike hitch, clove hitch, a fisherman's knot to attach two cords, prusik knot, and a truckers hitch haha. Have you to thank!

[@JuhaAaltonen]

Simple and functional, KISS principle well implemented.

[@hikerbro3870]

That's about how I set mine up, but I use a prusik as the loop for my truckers hitch so I don't have to re-tie it if it's in the wrong position. Nicely done, as always!

[@Tunzbig]

Thanks for making all this content, I like spending the day watching your videos and trying to memorize all of these cool knots, Thanks for taking the time on making all of this!

[@scoon2740]

I have used this technique a number of times and have yet to find a method to beat it. I've even shown it to some friends who are impressed with how quickly I can get a shelter up with just a tarp. Absolutely love this video and this channel!

[@connorobridge]

No disrespect, but im having a tough time understanding how this is better than just having a tarp with holes in the corners, tying parachord to each corner with ANY knot, and then tying them tight onto whatever is around

[@JFearlessJourneys2112]

Watched this like 5 times and have made 6 of them from 60 feet down to 10 feet for various tasks. Can NEVER figure out why these Living Room Bush-Crafters make negative comments and go thumbs down as you are one of the best instructors out there!! Thanks man!

[@jeffreymchoul]

...the simplicity of this system is matched only by the functionality. Outstanding, and a definite method that every outdoors person, not just Boy Scouts can use to their advantage. Thanks for another winner. Great video, great presentation, great application. One I am definitely going to share...

[@recall5811]

Thank you and thanks for watching

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Cpl Kelly your videos and web store are by far the best in the biz. That’s not to say others’ vids and stores aren’t good or even very good because many are. But yours are top shelf excellent. Thank you for taking the time prepare, shoot and edit these videos Corporal. I really appreciate it. And, it’s time to rebuild my kits, your store makes it easy.

[@elliecarrillo8181]

Thank you Corporal for another great video. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I’m a city girl and was too scared to go camping in years past because I simply didn’t know how to be prepared. I now go camping and actually enjoy it thanks to you. The skills I’ve learned on your channel gave me the courage to take a technical rope rescue course and a swift water rescue course. I loved it. Thank you, and blessings to you. 🏕🧗🏽‍♀️🌧☀️

[@davecorbett0507]

I had watched this video a while back then today during a Wilderness First Aid course we were rigging up tarps to protect from the weather. Of course I knew of this but didn't know it. So I've just sat and watched, paused and tied, and now I have a rapid ridgeline for tomorrow's stormy weather! Thanks for the great, informative, and useful content. Please keep it up!

[@williammaurer9450]

I'm a big believer in 'keep it simple stupid'. You nailed it. Thx.

[@tomasskeppstrom4440]

Simple and great, works every time. Made my outdooring much easier. Thanks

[@honey6eeman]

Since I discovered your channel my get home bag has gotten more focused, lighter, more reliable and easier to deploy. My confidence has risen while my bag has gotten leaner and meaner. Thank you.

[@Freeyourself206]

Egbert Nifflefurtz what’s in your bag? I just made one and it’s huge. I’m trying g to lighten it up.

[@markjordan3555]

Oh wow 😮 this was a wonderful video.. I think we need more of these life lessons and preparations.. not only was the tying of the knots amazing.. the idea of having it compact and already prepared, brought it to a new level of genius.. ❤❤❤

[@IACUnited13]

This method of quick deploy ridge line has found a spot on my hike bag. This was a very utilitarian addition!

[@jamesconnor2278]

Best Knotwork Techniques and Deployment Strategies on KZbin! Thanks Cpl for your experience, attention to detail, and clarity in your videos!

[@davidvaughn7752]

Resubmitting a comment: I don't know if you're going to read this or not but, I just wanted to let you know that this has been one of the most useful videos I've watched... I exclusively hike and camp here in the PNW where it rains a lot and I go pretty deep in. This prepped Ridgeline has made my life so much easier and I use it exclusively for my pitch and it works for several geometries. Thanks again!

[@kanetrain9415]

Appreciate the service and knowledge been watching you now for a few years now and really enjoy your campfire cooking 👍

[@jodyseaman1885]

Thank you so much for demonstrating the knots you use. Also for showing the products, such as #36 bank line etc. Very detailed and I appreciate it so much. You definitely know your stuff!

[@aaronwilcox5673]

Another one you hit out of the park. You really should be one of the largest outdoor channels on the YT. Precise and to the point without fluff and buff and click bait. Keep the vids coming and remember, "I be watching you, next time".

[@recall5811]

share my videos and lets make that happen. Thanks for watching

[@redactedcanceledcensored6890]

I just made a ridgeline like this. If anyone is wondering, I used 550 paracord for the ridgeline and 425 paracord for the loops and it worked. I wrapped the prusik loops into themselves once more for good measure though.

[@walle2995]

Thanks for all your videos. Your channel is great. All your stuff works, just facts and no BS around it. Perfect!

[@jacobbordelon2607]

From one Corporal Marine to another, I appreciate the hell out of your content. I’m definitely using this system on my next camping hike.

[@nicholasquintero1080]

Dude I love your channel. You're like my Grandpa RIP. No disrespect. He was a WWII vet, a deputy sheriff, and had a bunch of old school fighting knowledge that he passed on to me. If he had your survival skills he could have had his own school. There's something about the military way of conveying knowledge that makes learning easy. It's not that it's especially entertaining but its easy to retain. U really need to get some investors and open an immersive university in the middle of nowhere.

[@ahorseman4ever1]

Another great video! I'm retired from the fire service and we used the prussik a lot in raising and lowering systems. Another very quick and easy way to deploy it is to lay the double fisherman's knot on the ridge line and roll it around the ridge line 3 times through the loop then dress the knot off of center. I thought I would share since deployment speed was important. Keep making videos, this old fireman keeps drilling and practicing. I love to learn new things.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

I think that’s called a ‘Klemheist’ knot, I prefer it for use specifically with tarps etc because it seems to hold more reliably than the prusik when using less than ideal cordage like if I ever had to make shelter from whatever cordage I could salvage in my environment like slippery braided nylon etc

[@russstentiford2252]

Thanks Corporals Corner. Finally got some bank line over here in the UK. Made the ridge line quite long to use with all my tarps. Works brilliantly. Keep up the videos. 👏👏👏

[@djbishop30189]

I’ve been wrapping my Paracord in a similar method, but always got knots when it was deployed. This X wrapping method works perfectly. Thanks man! I’m gonna wear this out!

[@Carhug2012]

Just made two of these in my kitchen. I'm slowly copying all the things you're doing to build out my get home bag. Also made one for my GF's Get home bag. We'll go camping with them so we're familiar with all the equipment. Your channel is like gold! I appreciate all the free content you share! Let me know if you want to know anything for a skills trade I can throw on my channel. I'm good with Finances, turning money into more money, real estate, and Lean Methods! Now I gotta go find some kinda reflective tarp and wobbie!

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Excellent video as always! Thank you for making this simple tutorial, and not tying your knots fast where I have to rewind a dozen times! This is why your in my top 5 channels simply because you talk common sense about the reality of survival and training as opposed to fantasy situations like troops dropping out of helicopters and herding people into FEMA camps

[@jimmclean4876]

I have absolutely enjoyed and learned from everyone of these videos because of the simplicity on how to do these projects.

[@bigviper64]

I really LEARNED something!...Love the figure 8 way to wrap my paracord up. I already knew of the Truckie Hitch, Prusik Knots etc. great tip!

[@tommysmith8801]

I like this system and the idea of having a shelter quickly. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@tommydenton5600]

I use this system for the rope that I hang my backpack in the tree with, and many other applications. Hanking up a rope like that is an essential skill in my opinion.

[@sergeantcrow]

Excellent... And now for the rest of my life this is how I will coil my cordage ! Up to now it has always been around the palm... Thank you Corporal..

[@NewHampshireJack]

Once again, a superior video. This system will be of great benefit to my mini-people in their get-home bags. We have built 72-hour bags to keep our brood comfortable in the event they must hunker down at school or worst case, find their own way home. Literally, once the ridgeline is made up, even a child could do this when under stress. Earthquakes (we live in the Philippines) are likely the biggest risk in our area so we included shelter in the event school buildings were not safe to be inside. The bags are stored in their school lockers. We have a list of items with expiration dates so we may rotate older stock out.

[@ladyofthemasque]

That is awesome! You are fantastic, thoughtful parents!

[@NewHampshireJack]

ladyofthemasque, Thank you for the compliment but we are only doing our job the best we are able. The truth is, I have a whole new set of challenges here in the tropics. Back home you could get triple E (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) from a mosquito bite but that is rare. We have some really nasty things to contend with like dengue fever in some areas of the Phils. We make the learning fun and "the gang" look forward to each test of their skills and gear. We think of this as quality family time.

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

Add a hammock and a full coverage rainfly...(nobody wants to sleep in the floor of the jungle unless there is no other choice!) Great thought on the 72 hour bags.

[@scottbouve8078]

It’s soo kool to see, not only the way bushcrafting has changed but the way your teachings and skills have changed.The way we carry and pack our gear. And most of all the new advances in gear seems every week something new hits the scene

[@DHFHades]

fantastic, got my ridge line done, toggles made, got my cheap tent pegs. just waiting on my poncho, then I will make my first emergency shelter. thanks for the great videos.

[@lewistaylor6529]

Best show I've learned a lot thank you Corporal Kelly every one should know what to do in the wilderness some people who don't watch your show want know what to do in the wilderness for (example they want know how to make a windscreen or what it is used for ) . But bye watching your show they would know what it is for everyone should watch your show and learn as much as they can because I'm . Again I thank you for doing everything step so we all can learn . Keep doing what you're doing . LT . Signing off

[@thewalker9662]

I've always been a fan of toggles.... As usual you set the standard as applied to simplicity, usefulness, and economy. Thanks Cpl!!

[@janlipski5215]

A great way to keep a tarp rigid and quick to deploy and strike camp. I have that setup in my pack now Shawn. Outstanding.

[@kidbach]

the best Teufel Hunden NCO channel on KZbin. Semper Fi.

[@TheAlbyzoe]

I'm learning a lot with your videos and I really appreciate your "no bullshit" approach to teaching. Outsanding.

[@gavinpeters6402]

Love that you have that middle loop on your ridge line. Some great info mate.

[@lpark8]

Excellent video. Thank you. Simple and effective system. I jotted down the steps as a note to myself. Here it is in case useful: CC Quick Deploy Ridgeline System - Take 25-50’ paracord for ridge line; bowline at one end - Tie 3 small loops of no. 36 bank line, 2 smaller one big - Tie loops to ridge line w Prussic knot (lark’s head knot plus two more times through) - small loops on outside large on inside; slide down to end against bowline - Hank cord as quick deploy and wrap it, tie it off w a clove hitch - Deploy: Attach to pole or tree w quick release marlin spike on bowline end, trucker’s hitch other end

[@jimferguson9528]

Well done. That's fast when fast is really needed. Most of the work can be done while warm and dry. A couple of loops could also be attached to the ground corners of the tarp as well. Add two stakes and you have an instant shelter kit.

[@daven953]

I saw this vid a year or so ago. Thought it was a great Idea. I always used a ridge line for my hammock tarp. But climbed out of the ghetto with the bowlin knot and toggle. Truckie knot was a standard, I've been using for decades. Mine stays on my tarp permanently with 2 prusik knots. Thanks CC As always outstanding instructional vids.

[@thefucrew9865]

This was an awesome video, Brother !!! I always just dealt with all of the knots and twists of a hank that was created by using your hand and elbow....which creates a super large "hank". Thank you for the idea !!! As a former 0311, Semper Fi, Brother ! Keep up the great work.

[@tr2661]

I have been out of the Navy since 1994 and had completely forgotten how to tie a bowline. I worked along with you and was able to tie my quick deploy ridgeline. Thank you.

[@johnlord8337]

Just finished Lar's 2 sets of John-cord (and earned myself each time - 2 blisters - making the cord is painful). Working on your 2 sets next, and sending with 5 (?) John-knots. Only toggle thereafter. Never go back to any other knot systems.

[@dwaynerobertson383]

Man, your proverbial fingerprints are all over my bushcraft/camping gear! I'm serious. I have learned so much from Corporal's Corner, and I know many others have as well. Thank you so much for all of the practical advice and hands-on, real time examples. Seriously. INVALUABLE. My ridge line is now set-up proper and good to go - in the dark, in the rain, in the snow; doesn't matter. Two-minutes or less, and I am going to field test this (and time myself a few times), tomorrow morning on Crown Land. You are an incredible influence on so many of us outdoor enthusiasts, Shawn, and your motivational inspiration gets me off my ass and outdoors to actually use what gear and skills I do possess! Many great informative channels here on youtube on the subjects of bushcraft, survival and camping. Some are more exceptional than others. You deliver the goods, Brother. EVERY SINGLE TIME. You never fail to impress me, and what you teach/share is not going to fail either. From map and compass navigation skills to building a shelter, to building a camp...to wrapping everything in bacon!! Sincere respect and many, many thanks.

[@VendettaPtown]

People don’t realize how knots like this are a MAJOR part of being able to survive in the woods if you needed to. Very informative Corporal😎👌🏻

[@martinhafner2201]

Great demonstration and explanation of a quick deployment ridge line. You made an excellent case on why to build one ahead of time, so I'm I'm using polyester kite line in 500 pound strength for the main line and 300 pound strength for the prusik pieces. The kite line is a lot smaller than nylon paracord at the same strength, won't stretch when wet like nylon, is slightly cheaper and is hollow braid so you can do some nice tricks like easy hollow braid eye splices and brummel splices. It has a similar soft laid feel to it, so knots set and hold well. Polyester (a.k.a. Dacron) is also a little less slippery than nylon and more UV resistant. I live in Arizona, which is a little light on treess, so I'm adding a couple tie down lines for my hiking poles to be the "trees" to tie the ridge line to. I'm doing them with adjustable loops (via friction hitch) on the ends so you can pop a midway clove hitch over the top of the pole and then bring the lines down to a couple stakes at 45 degrees from center and pop them over the stakes and cinch up. I don't use the tautline for a friction hitch. It is an abomination. All the nautical manuals show a midshipman's hitch, which is essentially a tautline with the first turn rolled down over the second turn and has about twice the grip. Tying it in tautline form was only for tying it to a spar, not a rope, and was a whipping level offense on the old ships. Anyway, I've taken to using the Adjustable Grip Hitch ( www.animatedknots.com/adjustable-grip-hitch-knot ) for camping. It ties fast, holds well and can be easily slipped for quick breakdown. I built the toggles into the prusik loops using pieces of small oak dowels since I can't dependably find suitable twigs on the ground. Cactus is not the camper's friend.

[@xlSevro409lx]

This channel never disappoints. Thanks again Corporal Kelly! Only problem is... Now I've got to update my ridgeline. :P

[@centexpatriot2709]

Love your channel buddy - always learn something no doubt. I shortened my shelter setup time to just under a minute by adding 3 carabiners - one to each Prussia loop and one to the bowline loop. 1. Around the tree with the bowline, clip on to the mainline, done. 2. Around the second tree, quick truckers hitch, done. 3. Prussicks clipped to the two tarp corners and pulled tight, done. 4. Two stakes on the tarp ground side, done. 57 seconds. No one was more surprised than me, believe me. With your experience, you could probably do even better. My tarp has paracord loops on all 4 corners (as you have shown in the past) with larkshead knots that always remain on the tarp, and that made the carabiner connection quicker than fussing with the grommets. I used small lightweight climbing carabiners so I could use them for a different purpose if I needed to, and so I could still use toggles on the tarp setup if that were the case. The #36 bankline is of course perfect for the two prussick loops. I have made this modification to all my ridgeline setups, even on my main tarp shelter. Thanks again, and keep it coming!

[@brr8888]

Your channel is really growing! You and Canterbury are the best on KZbin imo.

[@SavageVoyageur]

This will be a huge time saver for me. I would be in camp struggling to remember what knots to tie and how to tie it, or why to tie a certain knot. This way it is already set up mostly and self explanatory. It also is a very lightweight setup. Thanks Corporal.

[@OscarLopez-gi2sm]

I'm in. This is going in my pack real quick. Thank you Sir.

[@71cromag]

Yes! I love it. Thank You my friend. That is the fastest deployable Ridgeline. I have been vacillating between several methods of deploying my tarp in the past and have always seemed to get... hung up.. (He who would pun would pic a pocket). Thanks to you I have found the "Corporal method" and using sticks as toggles reduces weight and gear. I can't wait for your next tutorial. Now I'm just waiting for cooler weather to get out there.

[@GrumpyGrunt]

Putting together a new bag and this was one of the first things I did. I never thought about others might not have already figured out the good dope. Nice job. S/F

[@rahkshifan99]

Thanks for making this. I modified mine with a bull end on each end. I use a bull end for one tree and the 3rd prussic knot for the 2nd tree. Works beautifully and quickly. I am really satisfied with knowing how to tie and use this system.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

As always useful and instructive. I’m catching up on older posts. Def gonna save this one to watch again and make up this for my ER go bag or even for hammock camping or backpacking

[@samday6621]

Thank you! Succinct and well presented. I see so many camps where the day is spent whittling poles and furniture! Nice use of the prusik knot. Before I camp I write a list of essentials to take. Do you have a mantra/system that prioritises items, by weight, space, multipurpose, efficiency, comfort, moral etc?

[@1968Greybill]

Corporal, I use this in my tarp set up when I Bikepack along the C&O Canal. Thanks for the tip, knots and know-how. The very best, Bill

[@brucemorton13]

Very well done. This is a most helpful tip. May I presume that, because of the figure-8 coil, the cordage deploys smoothly without any tangles?

[@jerold8908]

yes, just pull on the Bowline and extend.

[@zenofthemoment]

Total n00b here, but it has deployed flawlessly every single time I've done it. Learned from the Corporal. 👍

[@dayne9567]

Is there a link to how he has cooked this rope I keep trying but just will not uncoil with out getting tangled

[@tiffanynico]

I just made one and tested it out. It deployed flawlessly. Being a girl with small hands didn't seem to matter. The thumb and pinky trick to wrap it up still worked great

[@jerrycollins4893]

Great video!...I like that you leave the fisherman’s knots offset when you tie the Prussic loops so there is a knot-free loop to pass through the grommet in the tarp...

[@gus1911]

Hell yes! Going in my tarp kit tonight.

[@cpd833]

This one gear/skill is probably one of the most important you have taught. Where I live we can expect rain of some sort 9 months of the year, and being able to get out of it in a hurry is a must. Many thanks.

[@Marlonsmie74]

Outstanding as always. Very informative easy to follow def helps me tighten up by skills. 👍

[@planecrazyish]

What a HUGE time saver. Far smarter to do this 100% right, in your own sweet time, in total comfort, as opposed to try knock it up in adverse conditions, where every second counts. This is proper preparedness. I'm learning some fantastic skills from you. Really enjoy and appreciate your videos. 10 thumbs up.

[@hokudadog7637]

Thank you, this is awesome. I like how slowly you demonstrate the knots, and your camera angles are very helpful. Brilliant job.
