Thanks for sharing. Better teachable often translates to easier to learn and keep. With hitches and knots there are many ways to skin the cat. It often comes down to preferences of people or services. Having mastered one method beats knowing several options and struggling with each. I tend to use parachord for my prussiks. It´s only a tarp. I want the hitch to slide before the tarp tears.

Great idea. I did the same thing utilizing the inline soft shackle knot that was demonstrated on first class amateurs channel. With having the two tails you could tie a permanent look in one end rather than making the larks head every time. Effectively making a soft shackle button that just pops in and out.

What everyone seems to be referring to as "Bank Line"; I've always known as "Seine Twine"... It's what we use, for building and mending commercial fishing nets. Nylon/ "a Dip"... It also comes plain white nylon, which will degrade quicker in direct sunlight and also unravels much more readily, which is NOT a good thing, for most purposes.

No knots needed as your know, but this system in the video is smaller footprint. Plus really neat to see and learn all the other options. Thanks again for all of your videos, may have to try that locking brummel via 36 bankline next, for a super small footprint.

I loved the idea of this, but I was having trouble forming the larks head on such a small piece of line. I just found it cumbersome. Instead I collapsed a marlon spike hitch into a running knot and fed my stopped knot (double overhand) through and cinched it down. Seems to work great and I can loosen it back up and pop it out of the line just by pulling on it. 19 inches of #36 bank line with double overhands in each end (15 inches with the double overhands tied and trimmed with the ends melted into the knots to seize them). If anyone else has a more convenient way or knows a reason why I shouldn't use this knot instead of a stopped larks head, shoot me a comment!
@supernoobsmith5718

Honestly, what works for me is just using knots the whole way through. Double half hitch or GE knot on one tree. Dave's quick release trucker hitch on the other end, where you can tighten the line without untying the knot. Carry a few short pieces of cord for on-the-fly prusiks to tie to tarp ends. And taught line hitch for any off the ground stakes, or tarp fly to a tree. It's easier to remember those knots than to have a complicated setup.

I made my ridge line in a similar fashion, but I made my Prusics from #36 bank line. Once the Prusic was in place I made a soft shackle by tying two overhand knots a few inches apart near the ridge line and a stop knot at the bottom. Slip the stop knot through your tarp loop or gromet and tuck it between the two overhand knots to soft shackle it in place. I made a similar soft shackle setup on one end of the ridge line, super fast and easy to set up. I have 5 Prusics on my ridge line. The first one secures the far end of the ridge line, there are two for the tarp and two spares. To secure the far end of the ridge line you run the ridge line around your anchor point (tree) and wrap it twice around the soft shackle near the stop knot. Now just tuck the stop knot through between the overhand knots and snug it up.

Hi Dave, what if you use a long prusic (6 or 7 inches ), tie an overhand knot half way down and another at the end. Put the end knot through your grommet/ tarp loop fold back over the middle knot like a shackle, or twist the middle knot 2 times and put the end knot between the middle knot and the first twist.like a twisted shackle.

I’ve said this before, when you are cold, wet and tired and it’s dark and weather is coming in the last thing you want to be doing is fumbling around with little strands of line. The toggles are quick, easy and give you something to hold onto. I guessing that a lot of KZitemrs don’t bushcraft in the cold or adverse weather. Every buddy for some reason is concerned about taking an extra 10 seconds to derig. Why?

In the desert it’s really not so simple to just set up a shelter. Finding a decent location is one thing but a ridge line is a luxury. Finding a toggle that won’t snap if you can set one up is another problem. However I don’t let that stop me from keeping up with alternative methods when I do find myself in the woods.

Strangely enough I used to do exactly that after I had a grommet rip out of a corner of a cheap tarp in a high wind about 25 years ago. Tried many different ways of skinning the cat over the years.

I think the cow hitch is the most undervalued knot out there … and it's not even a knot. You can use one to tie a fixed loop (as long as it's under tension). You can use it to create a sliding loop. You can use it to pack stuff. You can use it to tie two crossbeams. You can use it in a trucker's hitch as well. You can use it to create soft shackles.

I attach four prusic hitches to my ridgeline. Then I tie the ridgeline to the first tree with a modified siberian hitch. Then I bring the other end of the ridgeline and just one of the prusic hitches around the other tree. Then I attach the prusic hitch that went around the tree to the prusic hitch that didn't come around the tree with a kite knot. Then I slide the prusic hitch to tighten up the ridgline. And a kite knot is a larkshead knot attached to a stopper knot. Then I attach soft shackles to the guyline loops on the tarp. And to make the soft shackles I use a bowline on a bight, but tied to be a double looped slipknot. Then I attach the soft shackles to the two remaining prusic hitches with kite knots.
