What I appreciate about this channel is that it's just content. No whining and complaining about KZbin algorithm, no shaming of the subscribers for not doing more. Just good solid content which can be put to use in the field. Thank you, Dave, for this approach.

[@DavidCanterbury]

I appreciate that!

[@DavidCanterbury]

I know that my FB page was hacked and I know that FB is working on it. I’m just not the kind of guy who whines about everything that happens to me. It will be fixed in time and there is nothing more o can do that be patient. Thanks for supporting me I do appreciate it.

[@nathanvalentine8136]

I met Matt at this years Pathfinder gathering and have to say he is an excellent instructor with a whole lot of patience.

[@richstone2627]

Thanks to both of you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.

[@jamescrowe7892]

Glad to see Matt is still around. It has been a while since he has put out a video.

[@papaschuette]

I already have my RDRL all set up with toggles and prusik loops. So this is getting put in the mental tool box. It's not like I use my ridgeline all that often. So the wear is minimal. I appreciate all of you at the Pathfinder company. I had a set of micarta handles come loose on my PKS Survival knife that I bought on January 1st 2020. Mind you, I use it constantly. It's on my belt every day. And some of it is tough work. I didn't get it to baby it. But you guys said send it in and you'll fix it. Not only did the handle get fixed, the edge was touched up, and the spine was back to a crisp 90 degrees. You have a customer for life for sure. I already have 37 orders since September 6th 2015. And I'm far from done. Thank you for all you do.

[@jojaxn75]

Glad to see Matt back on my screen! Can we look forward to some new content from Black Hat Bushcraft soon???

[@ronaldfeagle8231]

I wait to meet these two gentlemen. Thank you for all yall do and have done.

[@damonfinken]

Interesting experiment. I love it. Of course I see know reason to use both prusik, or bowline. But I do like the replacement of the truckers hitch. Will try.

[@benterwellen]

Dave an Matt two great guys, ty for so many years of great videos…

[@jeffvanburen1167]

Dave to each there own, I’m staying with the original rapid ridge line, K.I.S.S. I don’t mind using knots in fact enjoy it. I do thank you for always trying to raise the bar

[@carrdoug99]

Amen👍

[@kevinlewis8642]

Same

[@davidwright5580]

Awesome video Dave and Matt and it good to see you again Matt

[@Flashahol]

Basic knots and advanced knowledge at the same time... great trick for someone who wears down ridgelines all the time, though!

[@asmith7876]

Matt’s a great guy, I’ve been watching his channel as well for some time. Instructors come and go, you lost some good ones but still have two of the best, Matt and Andrew. I hope everyone is doing well!

[@danalexson1281]

This is how I just setup my rapid deploy Ridgeline. Thanks for the video.

[@jimmiecrowe520]

I have met and talked to Matt a few times and have no doubt about his integrity and loyalty. You two make a great pair!!!!!!

[@martingreen2018]

Mr Canterbury, you are a master of ropes and cordage!

[@Quickdraw812]

This is a good way. But I still like the way you guys shown me in 2020. When I came to the Pathfinder basic survival class. like to be able to move the bank line up and down the ridgeline. I have that option of moving my shelter if need be. By the way Matt and Dave hope life is treating you guys great. Hope your families are well. Maybe I'll see you again.

[@joshmoses5607]

Thanks for the content Dave, always great to see something new. Good to see Matt, tell him he’s missed. God Bless!

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Pure genius guys. Yep, the more you know, the less you carry. And, it can be done in the dark. Thank you.

[@xiaobiz]

Excellent video, and excellent knot tips. Simple setup with just cordage and the toggles and knowledge.

[@davem4193]

Good to see Matt in the video.

[@Uhmjazz]

Hey Matt glad to see you back! How's the vacation? 😊 nice vid Dave looking forward trying that😮

[@davehumpleby3440]

I love the fact that you guys never stop thinking about new ways to do things. I love this and will be trying it out on my next camping trip. Thank you.

[@jasongarling20]

I'm subed to all 3 plus lol! Great video. It's great to have all these options depending on the circumstances! Dave,Matt, the rest, thank you with all my heart for sharing this wonderful knowledge!

[@freddiehorn7902]

I like the new concept and will give it a fair shake. But, I'll probably stick with the old system.... probably! The way I have the tarp set up I can pull it and be under it in less than 60 sec. We'll see. Good job as always.

[@ronlongwellphoto]

You’re a genius, Dave! This kinda stuff is so valuable for those of us who spend time in the outdoors. Thanks for all you do!

[@richarddiss1643]

AWESOME! But now I just wonder if I'll have time to learn this new one, before the next one? 🤣 Thx very much 👍🙏

[@fordtractorfanatic4836]

Nice to see Matt again.

[@alanrice39]

Thanks Dave and Matt

[@roundtracker]

I haven't seen Matt in a while.. I miss his cooking videos.

[@michaelmerrick5472]

More to learn yet slick and simple. 👍 Love how you all are always thinking and improving. Thanks for sharing!

[@shadomane]

Simply ingenious!!! What an awesome method of setting up a ridgeline. Great method and skills instruction video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and skills experience with us Dave and Matt.

[@user-kx9mt1kb5k]

You fellows would come in handy on land or sea; you can tie knots like sailors and do loads of bushcraft on land. I admire your skills and appreciate that you like passing on the knowledge and techniques onto others.

[@carlosrobles7716]

Heyyyy, is nice to see Matt again!! God bless you Matt.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Thank you so much my friend! God bless you and yours as well!

[@traditionalbushcraft]

So refreshing to watch you, nothing repetitive always fresh great video sir!

[@MiClLC]

Yooo Black Hat good to see you doing well buddy!

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Very cool system but I'm going to keep with the rapid deployment ridge line That I already use. It's already set up and I have practiced to for hour and deployed it in less then a minute. It's already fast and not broke. 8) great video tho

[@williammcginley3448]

Meeting BOTH of you is on my bucket list! You guys are two of the people that got me interested in Bushcraft....along with Dan Wowac.

[@philipwrightscartoonscaric5858]

Made so easy with brilliantly clear instruction by both yourself and your instructor...!

[@wendellhagg3511]

Thank You for sharing this awesome concept!! H.

[@nonickels8975]

This is honestly really cool. Way to incorporate the sheepshank!

[@will76888]

Great video! To the point. Easy to follow. Cool ridgeline set-up! Thanks, and keep 'em coming!

[@james_lessick892]

What a great😮idea, you Guys are great at what you do.

[@thomasdemaio53]

Awesome new system. I really like setting up ridgelines chest high and a bunch of marline spike toggles to hole camo netting. Pushpins are a very under-rated bushcraft tool too

[@suzibikerbabe8073]

Thanks for the info and demo! I wish there was a knot instructor near me (lol, just knots) but this is great to have since I don't.

[@bski1611]

This is awesome. Brilliant!

[@raktoda707]

Thank you ! You've been looking at my 50 years of tying square knots haven't you.I'll get it right yet !

[@JoeMac1983]

I'll stick with the premade ridgeline where you put a toggle in the larks head on one end and a trucker's hitch on the other. Way less complicated lol.

[@chronicon5616]

Brilliant!

[@badger31738]

Great video dudes

[@billleiker5314]

Well done gentleman!

[@ShorebillySanctuary]

I’m digging that setup a bunch

[@ebony5766]

You guys are amazing!

[@MTPZorro]

Nice work. This is easy to perform and remember.

[@namethem00]

Love this system, gonna use it next time I'm in the bush

[@jimhale3879]

VERY cool!!! Thank you!!!

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Interesting. I will have to give this a try.

[@RobMongey]

Nice. As simple as I've seen.

[@TheFLOMAN76]

Damn good stuff 👍

[@davidlee8551]

Thank you All for developing innovative solutions to common problems. Thank you for sharing!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks guys

[@JEBOOUTDOORS]

Thanks for top tips guys!

[@BigJimSlade67]

Brilliant! Thx guys this is awesome!

[@mrwes100]

Master Matt 🙌

[@trynsurviven2440]

Handy information to know. Thank you for sharing this.

[@mlsknnr]

Outstanding, simply outstanding!

[@randybeeson3424]

Great alternative guys.

[@datSilencer]

Really useful techniques. Thanks!!

[@scottykinder1255]

You can’t beat Matt Mercer.

[@blackhatbushcraft]

I truly appreciate that coming from you brother! I have always thought the world of you. I remember you being a helper at my basic before you became a full instructor and how much time you took to share. Those are things you don’t forget.

[@omgThink4uRself]

Clever!

[@benterwellen]

It’s great to have a real Pal…..

[@joshzoccoli3512]

Nice job fellas

[@robertbrannan9375]

Little bit of shade towards shawn there..

[@TheStevenRocha]

Just some real pals making a video together.

[@seanrh4294]

That tarp looks like a giant target 😂

[@bobmcelroy7289]

Love it!

[@campcrafter4613]

Nice

[@stevestumpy6873]

Please tell Matt, I said it needs more bacon.

[@branch_preparedness]

Great idea. Question though, how come you got away from using bungee cords for quick setup?

[@garrysekelli6776]

It's like the texan who doesn't tie his horse when entering the saloon. Just whips the rope around the post and it wraps itself around.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Another great video! Also brother, did your Facebook get hacked? Some weird stuff going on there!

[@mrfixit011]

👍👍

[@lens7859]

Very easy

[@slcparis2]

Clean and neat i like it

[@oscargomez8096]

Thank you for all the knowledge. Love to watch all your videos. Ps: I think your Facebook page was hacked. Lots of post about random stuff for the past few days. Hope you get if fixed.

[@woodstrekker6345]

Thanks

[@wolfman2702]

Another good idea. On another note is all that gorilla tape on your tarp a repair or an improvement?

[@brendatune4365]

I will be hiking at Mount Mitchell and I was told I need a bear smell proof bag to carry any snacks and sandwich in. I'm just going to do the 2 easy trails but don't want a bear after me. Can you tell me where and brand of bear smell proof bag I could buy. Love your channel

[@conraddubois2047]

nice nowt

[@Citizen-pg8eu]

How was the toggle attaching the tarp set up (I guess not tied), then quickly released? Thanks!

[@freepilot7732]

Can you show it better on how to attach the tarp?

[@dannyleonidas4328]

Did the marlin way too fast to see how he did it

[@ibmoosed]

Damn! That’s alot

[@billg7101]

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tpep2328]

This is good information, but these are knots.

[@DavidCanterbury]

A hitch and a bend is NOT a knot

[@OnRappel]

Matt "knows the meaning of the word pals." What does that mean? I'm lost.

[@AJKPenguin]

Question: what would be ideal toggles to use? I presume something smooth, so to not snag the line, correct? Thank you for your time and consideration.

[@mikejeffsteel]

I don't know why people are afraid of knots... just learn a knot and use it.

[@drewray681]

It’s all about Jesus
