If I was just travelling from point A to point B and attempting to avoid contact. If it rained during movement a couple of heat tabs and a poncho. I can get dry. Cold food is a motivator to keep moving. It would have to be am extreme emergency for me to build a fire while moving through unsecured terrain. Excellent Knot tying explanations. I built my 10C kit with an Arcturus tarp. Several years ago I setup the Ridgeline system. It works great. When I was in the Army we trained with a British Infantry Sergeant. He showed us his kit. He carried a pair of Pruning Shears. He used them to lightly clear bushes and vegetation from fields of fire. Some trees and bushes grow very close to the ground I can crawl up under a juniper tree and use the shears to create a concealed space.

I love this ridge line setup. Been using it for a couple years to hang my superfly tarp. I recently bought some Amsteel to make a lighter/less stretchy one. Previously I had my prusiks made of the same 550 cord and triple wrapped it with no issues. This time I made some amsteel soft shackle loops instead and did the same triple wrap prusik. I won’t lie, they don’t grab as well as I’d like but it works. The no. 36 bankline is very sticky though so if you’re worried about it and don’t mind toggles or carabiners it’s probably the prusik gold standard. Josh, I appreciate your visual and narrative teaching and it has been really helpful to me!

Same for me on the dyneema/Amsteel stuff. I love it but did NOT anticipate the slippage!

GBGB, I really enjoy your videos and your explanations are always clear and informative. That being said, I think this video could have benefited from some extra up-close, POV footage of the knots being tied. If I wasn’t already familiar with these knots I don’t think it would have been easy to follow at certain points.

25 feet seemed like it would be PLENTY no matter what for a ridge line. Then I found a spot with really big trees and it ate up that 25 feet quickly! So I made a 30 foot one. Always stellar videos, funny and informative. (Edit) I’ll mention that the type of cordage matters. I was experimenting with some dyneema string, super light weight, ultra strong but guess what? Slick slippery plastic feel to it, had a hard time getting the prusic to bite! Then I found there are different types of paracord, one that has 11 inner strands. Works great as a ridge line, you can crank down your truckers hitch without worry.

@NatureBetsLast 2 жыл бұрын

Paracord packs small, I always keep like 60 feet for my Ridgeline. It is overkill but also it's redundancy. I forgot my dogs leash one time, boom extra cord and I wasn't losing out on my ridge line.

Depending on what is happening when and what types of threats . Weather etc. That all determines what gear I take . Also if it’s a full blown SHTF/ WROL , I may have a few places that I’m going to stay at for shelter like the building you have. As far as cache goes I don’t have much money to bury much as supplies. Most of my gear is all I have, no duplicate gear. So I don’t want to Bury it . I will say this though things keep going the way they are . I am going to bury some spare ammo , ferro rod , freeze dried foods and a few MREs . I’m deciding now on what type of shelter I want . I like those light weight tarp tents that come with a stove jack . Total weight is 6 pounds . Plus light weight wood stove.

Been doing some trails this summer and have a tarp set-up ready to go in the pack. My ridge line is already strung through the tarp and I daisy chain either end. This works really well, never tangles and rapidly unravels. Only problem is if somebody doesn't understand how to undo a daisy chain its a painfully slow process. The tarp is folded and rolled so that the ridge line is on top. BTW I've never seen such a complicated way of making a Bowlin. And I use prusicks made of paracord on my paracord. I rap it around 3 times.

@GrayBeardedGreenBeret 2 жыл бұрын

It’s not complicated when you understand the progression. Most people think I’m just teaching the bowline. I’m actually setting them up to learn 5-7 other knots with the same terminology and processes. If all I cared about was teaching a “bowline” I could dumb it down easily but that’s not what I’m doing.

Hey josh, sorry if this come's off corney or weird. I have a question heh. Where do you find your button up long sleeve shirts? I been trying to find them around here OKC area and seems no one carries them any more just the super thick ones with the liner inside. I really appreciate your videos and sharing your skills and knowledge it means everything. I really think that sharing like this will be the most valued comity in the coming months. If its not bartering it will be to teach skills. Again thank you so much i have learned a lot.

The size of the tarp comes into play with that many people, that’s going to be one big tarp but it isn’t 30 feet long. My friend has a 16 foot square tarp we set up and my normal size ridge line is fine. As always, practice first before you’re trying to do this in a storm!

riots, revolution, invasion, natural disasters (extreme huricane, flooding, volcanos, forestfires...) have been reason for ppl to drop whatever they had to R U N fir their lives. just watch the news, refugees from Ukraine where in this kind of situation few months ago, or the huge fires destroying whole towns (greenville 2021)... they had hours to get their belongings and get to safety.

Never heard of armed roaming gangs look for easy pickings? If your NOT ready to leave, you will see them. You can only defend your home so long. Better to be prepared than a sitting duck. I hope everything stays safe, but look at what's happening in some big cities. It'll get worse before it gets better. Better to be READY.

If your main goal is to travel as quickly as posible from A to B than why not use an off-road motorcycle for the most part or for the whole journey? I think only a very small proportion of people live in such rough terrain that they couldn't use a motorcycle for the main part of the route. If you live in a city, a car would probably end up in a traffic jam.
