Rusty- I love that you guys actually COMPARE and TEST products and explain your thinking. This was really well done (except shots were a little blurry at points). Black Thomas did a video about the figure 9 as well, but your comparison/test was more thorough. Picked up a 4-pack of the Figure 9s. -J

Many thanks, J. Yea... I'm trying to push these videos out when possible, just using an iPhone. Will try to start doing higher production quality again.

Good to see the channel going strong.

Great job. All the info I needed to decide, and then some (weight test)

Glad the video was helpful for you. We try to answer the questions that we have ourselves have about the product ( e.g., how strong is it actually?). Thanks for watching! -Rusty

With the mini carabineer, you can wrap the line around it twice which will create a Blackwall hitch. Then you can tension it and keep the tension after releasing it. You will still have the problem of the paracord sliding over itself and possibly getting damaged by the friction though.

Good input, CEB! It was the user's experience though that it wasn't difficult to keep the tension on when wrapping. Thanks for watching and sounding off! -Rusty

Nicely done

Could you guys do camping stoves? Like not the small ones but the full size camp stoves (like Coleman’s) some of them are really cheap. I think everyone should have a camp stove and stock up on those small propane cans. Not even for a camp situation but for general preparation. And maybe even discuss some excellent non-freeze dried meals to keep. As well as vitamins, iodine, etc. People get so obsessed with freeze dried, which is great, but in reality that food can get old quickly. I think it’s important for everyone to maintain a rolling stock of 2 weeks of actual good food for emergencies.

Thanks for watching and commenting, Roger! Haven't done the large camp stoves yet but we did do a fairly comprehensive comparison between "emergency type foods (including freeze-dried and dehydrated). Also, we recommend three months of rotating food for normal meals your family eat + one year of long-term storage. We also recommend 3-7 days worth of backpacking style freeze-dried meals ready to go (in case you actually have to leave). -Rusty

@@Equip2Endure you guys do great content. Unfortunately I think the algorithm is working against you since the channel was dead for so long. I bet you would get more views starting from scratch. New channels get a big algorithm push. Thanks!

They also have a non carabiner one that I like

I'm just a fan of the multipurpose ability of the biner version. Thanks for watching! -Rusty

@@Equip2Endure oh most definitely, I like having the carabiner hooked onto my bag, I like having the non biner one for my roof rack for tie downs since its outside a lot more in rain and stuff. I also found out that you can use the biner one like the non biner one, like you don't have to have a loop on the rope to clip on the end you can actually wrap the cord around a few times then use the #1 sides top and slide the cord back through the twists and it holds it in place from tension, no need to actually use the clip

Do you even include a Ridgeline in your kit?

I prefer a tent, but love having a ridgeline to hang a secondary tarp (like a fly or canopy). Can also use the same ridgeline for a bear bag line, steep decent, and just emergency backup.

Hello. How is such a loop knitted at the beginning of the video? If possible in detail. Thank you in advance.

I believe you're referring to "slippery half hitch loop." Very easy. A quick google search will pull up a clear illustration for you. - Rusty
