Rollercam Roperollers | Setup your tarp faster?

[@dangudgeon3833]

I see a few applications Paul. It is not always about not knowing how to tie a knot, but as you mentioned, manual dexterity for some whether from physical disability(loss of digits or arthritis) or just hypothermia. I have always stayed away from the "gadget" machines when a knot or two can do the same thing, but as I get older, I am seeing things differently. Thanks for the video! Keep them coming.

[@adaptablesurvival]

Thank you Dan! This was one of the underlining lessons of the video. Hope you're doing well!

[@bushcraftoz2]

Great perspective friend - agree if it helps you or a friend or a newbie or kids to get out and enjoy the wilderness it's worth a look.

[@vvogt4252]

Great Device for everyone. I like them. Thanks Brother for this Video.

[@adaptablesurvival]

Thanks brother! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@MrLandphill]

that looks awesome, thanks

[@MichaelR58]

Good option Paul , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@adaptablesurvival]

Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@clintanthony9081]

Thanks for introducing those. I can use that for my batting cage net.

[@adaptablesurvival]

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! Look at whatever product I'm talking about and finding a way to use it in your life even outside of a camping/ outdoor setting. 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@brianmaxey3263]

Thanks Paul! Gonna check into these.m

🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@greywindLOSP]

Excellent product thank you sharing, just ordered a 6 pack of them.....ATB

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

I use the Bowline and the modified or locking trucker's hitch. Glad I learned the locking trucker's hitch do to the fact that I have been dealing with a little arthritis and couldn't squeeze the loop together to do the other k ot that holds the trucker's hitch together. I like the ideal of those. Awesome video my friend

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'm a huge supporter of finding what works for you and running with it.

[@kenseeley3761]

Those look extremely useful. Thatnks for sharing Brother! 🤘😎

[@adaptablesurvival]

Anytime my man! 🤘🏼

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Interesting design, another tool for the toolbox!

[@adaptablesurvival]

Just tying to show different methods to accomplish things.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

Cool piece of hardware. I prefer knots, but I like options. Thanks Paul.

[@adaptablesurvival]

It's just fun to look at other options. Some can't do knots for medical reasons, so I always want to give them a method to getting it done.

[@kippdog536]

Good catch on the dexterity. Over the years I've lost quite a bit in my fingers and wrists.. Sometimes those truckers and various taunt line hitches don't exactly just fall into place like they should. These are a great option that don't seem like they will take much space. I have tried other toggle methods. Most still require my fingers to manipulate cords on days they don't want to cooperate . Thanks for the video.

[@mikesanders9036]

Great video! It never hurts to have options. Until you get older or are dealing with folks that have different life experiences, you will certainly see that there is hardly ever a time when the same solution works for everyone. Also, what information can you provide on that tarp? I like the compact size and the color. Thanks again!

[@adaptablesurvival]

Thank you! It's an Etowah Gear 5x7 tarp.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Options, or as I like to call them, Time tickets 😁

[@scottmb99]

Thanks for this Paul, I'd like to know more about that tarp! I didn't see it on your Amazon page . . .

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'm not sure if they are sold on Amaozn. But if you Google Etowah Gear 5x7 tarp, you'll find it.

[@scottmb99]

@@adaptablesurvival Thanks for the info!

[@kristenvincent3622]

After a long, hard, cold, wet hike… the last thing I want to do is fuss with a lot of knots in really bad weather. I use multiple tarps in my day to day, everyday, for livestock and feed shelters, so it’s not that I’m not proficient or fast at quick release hitches and knots, all winter I’ve been dealing with tarps in storms, dropping them in 60mph winds with driving rain and sleet in the dark so they don’t tear up or fly away with anything… The way I see it, anything that makes this easier or makes the outdoors more accessible (why do I have arthritis in my hands at 40?) is a great thing.

[@adaptablesurvival]

These are the exact reasons why I want to highlight such products. It's not that you can't use knots and hitches, but some people struggle with these due to strength, medical, or other reasons. It never hurts to explore the subject beyond what you may be capable of doing.

[@larrywilliams153]

Corporals corner sent me to ya , good luck brother.

[@kidbach]

They look like mini block and tackle. Whatever equipment or knowledge that helps you achieve a task you set out to complete, is a success in my book. I know you said Type 3 Nylon Cord won't fit, but what about Type 1 Nylon Cord? Thanks for sharing.-Scout

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'm not sure to be honest. But I'll track some down and include that in my long term use video.

[@krishoogstraat6866]

I have playing with the Jungle Knot Ropes. I am not proficient with any system as I try to make a different one every time I go out it seems. Also a lot of my camps are in cleared out areas. No trees for ridge lines. Use one tree maybe or tripods. Use walking poles and make tent style shelters from the tarps. I like the look of these rollers.

[@adaptablesurvival]

It never hurts to explore as many options as you can.

[@vince4316]

Good option to keep in the kit👍👍 Didn't see it on your Amazon page??

[@adaptablesurvival]

I don't believe they are sold on Amazon. If you Google Rollercam you'll find their site.

[@mtwoodsmen4563]

Het Paul they look pretty cool do they work with 550 paracord or only the smaller cord you had in video if your wanting to use smaller ridge line check out Dutch wear hammocks he makes several titanium ridge line hooks and gadgets he calls fly's and wasps and other names for smaller ridgelines all made out of titanium so supper lite weight and work great

[@adaptablesurvival]

I've seen those, just haven't bought any yet. This one won't work with paracord according to their specs stating 3 or 4mm cordage. But I plan to message around with it and see what it can and can't do.

[@robslagle]

I use the continuous ridgeline system found in the book, The Ultimate Hang by Derek Hansen..... 2 carabiners and a prussic knot.

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

[@jeffhowell3310]

You could do the same thing with some carabiner and purasic knots, as well, but those are pretty nice. The one question I have about the cam rollers is, can you use para cord with them or dies it have to be round rope?

[@adaptablesurvival]

Based on the specs from the site, it has to be round cordage. But I will try running some paracord through them and add that to my long term use video of these.

[@gregorytaylor8031]

I use Dutchware gear for my ridgeline. The wasp and tarp fleas are super fast and lightweight titanium.

[@wildsau1965]

i use the nite ize but i do like this. i can't seem to find them though . where are these available?

[@bluedogguy]

I like it. Tell them to sell on Amazon.

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'll send that along!

[@timdaff]

Why not just a bowline to the tarp loops then around the tree and a taut line hitch to tighten?

[@chipallen7792]

I get exploring your options but it's just another thing that can go wrong in my opinion

[@mikeletteri6385]

Will this work for 550?

[@mudsslinger]

Figure 9 Carabiner

[@adaptablesurvival]

I have a few of these to test out. Thanks for the reccomenation!

[@volkertc]

Save your money. Use Corporal's Corner rapid deployment Ridgeline with Prussick knot loops. Fast, easy, light weight, cheap.

[@adaptablesurvival]

You do realize I'm good friends with Shawn and worked at the Pathfinder School. I'm well aware of the Rapid Ridgeline. This explores the idea of setting up tarps and ridgelines to gain a full understanding of the subject to determine which is best for your given situation.

[@volkertc]

@@adaptablesurvival understood. I just think simpler is better.

[@adaptablesurvival]

One of the things I mentioned in the video was that I saw a lot of students who struggle with dexterity in their hands or don't have the strength to do the rapid ridgeline. It's just another way to do things for people who can't tie knots.

[@tywilliams6530]

Yeah rapid ridge line is the way to go

[@kan-zee]

Is this the video your referring too ?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5rShqd8fZKFo5Y

[@MalcolmLangille]

Just tie the string to the tarp and go around the tree and clip then tighten. Seems like this method is more complex than it needed to be

[@adav6882]

ok but are they good or is it (s*it) maybe useful? do you like them? the point of your vid is?

[@adaptablesurvival]

The point of the video is to look at another way of setting up a ridgeline and tarp. As I stated, this was the first time using them, so I wanted to bring everyone along with their use. I will be doing a follow-up with a video after I've done some long-term use.

[@kan-zee]

Check out the TIME STAMP 0:44 & 7:15 for your answer.

[@adav6882]

@@kan-zee still no answer what u on about?

[@aidangonnelly]

for the weight of the roperoller and the cost its hard to justify. yes its a handy gadget but you still at the most basic level need to be able to tie the ridge line running knot, that with appreciation of the price are questionable, ideally you would need 6 if not 8 minimum, and can they support a hammock at 250kg. seriously at €42/ $38 plus P&P for 6 and paracord that's neither here nor there as its always carried as an essential item , you can save yourself the excess weight by learning the correct knots. if your lose a roperoller you still need to know the correct to compensate and that's my argument. its a gadget that's not necessary and probably going more in the direction from survival camping to glamping. personally I'm constantly looking for solutions to minimize my gear and lighten the load. yet saying that i will probable by 2 sets of 6, as 6 wouldn't be enough. but considering there made in china for about $20 they are a complete rip off. however I can appreciate their value for those who maybe challenged physically. But i just cannot agree with the outrageous price tag. a piece of metal with 2 hole drilled in it will achieve the same result might not be as pretty but equally as functional and cost a small fraction of the rope roller and most people DIY capable can make themselves. saying that thank you for the video very practical and informative i've seen many vids of folk using these and they are useful as will suit some peoples needs.
