I'm going to buy his book just to pay him for all of the excellent videos he's put out that I've watched. World class instruction of thoroughly proven high speed survival techniques and strategies and also reliable gear recommendations. The best sources are those who've been there and done that.

I've used this system quite a number of times this year. Helped me go from a 7 lb tent to a 1.5 lb shelter- 6x8 silnylon tarp, small tyvek groundsheet, rapid ridgeline and 6 stakes. Having less weight helps, the speed of setting and striking camp is great, but being outside under the tarp is a whole different experience. Rapid ridgeline is a gamechanger and by the way, the book belongs on everyone's shelf.

Excellent instruction. I built a rapid ridgeline for my tarp after watching Corporal's Corner. I have seen the rolling hitch on the modified truckers hitch before but never thought about it for this application. Going to have to try that out. I use a small hardware grade snaplink attached to the bowline. Wrap the line around the anchor point and snap. No fumbling in the dark or rain for toggles.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't what you had in mind when you made this video but after assessing my immediate surroundings and survival needs, I determined that the most pressing threat to my life was my angry wife. Using this system of knots, I was able to complete several jobs in the garden and look like a pro while doing it. I set up a ridge line and a clear tarp over some plants to protect them during heavy weather. Set up two more to tie off blackberries and raspberries. I also set up two others so I can espalier some fruit trees and save space in the garden. If she's still not happy after that then I guess I will be reviewing some of your bug out bag videos for the survival gear I will need. Thanks, you may have saved my marriage. 🤣🤣

Tip... tie a ranger knot onto the locking bar end of the Prusik. The ranger knot can slide up to the fingers so the prusik can't unwrap when no tension is added. This means you no longer have to remove it from your rapid ridge line, creating a rapid rapid ridgeline in 60 seconds. Yes... I know... I'm a genius... Or a geek who put too much time in this.

@impermanenthuman8427 Жыл бұрын

The ‘rolling hitch’ is actually a very different knot that may cause confusion in some people if they go looking for this knot that your calling a rolling hitch in knot books, the ‘rolling hitch’ is actually a very close relative of the clove hitch, and is used to tie cordage onto a vertical pole or rope which you can then hang something off like with your Marlin Spike Hitch toggle for hanging a rucksack on a tree. What your doing is perhaps better identified as a ‘locking round turn or even a ‘capsized round turn’🤔 I only point this out because I had a hell of a time learning knots, I would see a badly filmed and explained vid on KZfaq or in a survival book and had no clue what was being shown so had to get a proper knot book or app (on phone) to find the names of the knots and they were often completely different knots…but I will say the effort was well worth it, but still takes drilling through my list to keep them fresh and usable

Great video, Josh. Two questions though: 1. How do you decide how long to make your ridge line? Sufficiently longer than your tarp where it will work with it, I'm assuming? 2. How do you secure the attached loops to your tarp through the grommets in the tarp? With more toggles? Or is there another method you prefer?

@synrick4840 2 жыл бұрын

I use this type of Ridgeline for my backpacking shelter, maybe I can help 1 after a full year of using a 25' Ridgeline I noticed I was very limited to where I could set up, I made a 50' line and it worked much better 2 you toggle the prussik loops to a stick or tent peg, after slipping it through the grommet, like you would with the bowline, then pull it tight along the Ridgeline to keep it in place Hope that helps!

@martinhafner2201 2 жыл бұрын

The length depends on your tree spacing. If the ridge line is too short, you can tie an extension line on. For that, use a good bend, such as a double turn sheet bend, carrick bend or similar class. So if your tarp is running square (not diagonal) and is 10 feet long, then you probably want about 5 feet space to each tree. You'll lose about 5 feet to loop around the trees, so your minimum length would be 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 25 feet. That's with a 20 foot tree spacing. But the best trees on the best direction might be 30 or 40 feet apart. I would just go with a 50 foot ridgeline to cover bad-ish cases of 45 foot tree spacings before having to add an extension. A longer ridge line will be floppier in heavy winds and a short one will be stiffer. But with a longer line, you could put up a second small tarp to protect gear or firewood. Try to find polyester or dacron line for your ridge line since nylon stretches when wet, making everything droop, usually at 3am. You can buy polyester paracord (e.g. Rothco has some on Amazon) or buy rolls of heavy kite line (e.g. Emma Kites) in 300 lb or 500 lb strengths.
