About fastener clips, they are used in sealing on the open sea and when the storm damaged the sails so they jury-rig with those compression fastener clips. They can withstand over and about a category 4 storm on the sea.

I use loops for prusik knots. I make tieouts with a penny and just the loop with a larkshead knot. Works great. Great video thanks.

Nice demonstration! I've been experimenting with this too. My solution was to use a canadian jam knot (also called an arbor knot) on the other end instead of the noose. I find these easier to undo.

This and the tarp buddy and you will be ready for anything.👍

Wow...very good information, and excellent demonstration! I was in the Navy, so I can tie many knots, that I amaze, and amuse knot neophytes with at parties and family gatherings, but I never really took any time to tie a noose. Some of my favorites are the jury rig masthead knot, the sheep shank, the Tom Foolery knot, and of course the bowline, and its exciting cousin the tug boat bowline that is tied in a dramatic whipping or rotating like manner. I also like the animated knots website, and will probably educate myself at that site by learning some new knots. Happy 4th of July!

I really liked this button knot set and will be making some. I like the bankline use too. I've watch almost all of your posted videos and have learned a lot. I'm familiar with the long burn fire method of FarNorth Bushcraft. I like that method and yours as well. It's good to know two methods in the event of differing circumstances. I look forward to future videos.

Thank you very much for the kind words! I appreciate it. .. When Winter comes again, I'm going to do a short series on long burn fire lays. That Scandinavian long log fire that Far North Bushcraft and Survival does is awesome. I have done a variation of that a few times and as long as you have a spot protected from the wind, that will keep you warm for hours. .. Another channel to check out for winter survival stuff is Survival Russia. He has a lot of big log fire videos and some of them are ingenious.

Very cool 😎 I’ve used scrunched up news paper and cable ties then looped the cord through the tie lol

Alright 2nd video watched, 2nd perfect presentation. Since you have no obnoxious intros & outros I can play your videos as I'm snoozing as well, and maybe get more of it into the noggin!

I liked your idea of having some small transition ropes. I used something similar in my box of ropes for tying down loads. Might I suggest a little addition to you set up. If you add an "Irish Button" to the tail of the "hangman's noose", now you have a self-contained unit so you don't have to look for or make a button. I can't take credit for the idea, I saw it in book on knots. We have to share the knowledge. Thanks

Pull some of the tarp through your fist making a tail long enough to fold over and slip it through the loop and put the button through the fold. Since it up and it should enough tention since too much tention will tear your tarp.

That end of this knot set is useful for a lot of things and happens to be the strongest cinching knot one can tie. It's unfortunate that history makes it controversial and therefore requires caution on the users part about where and when to deploy it.

A tight line hitch or a grip hitch works just as well and is much easier to tie. Otherwise I like your idea very much.

Why not a taut line hitch for this?

@JohnGreen_US

6 жыл бұрын

You can use any adjustable and fixed loop knots you want and feel comfortable tying. It's the concept that's important ... pre-made tools ready to deploy quickly. An adjustable loop on one side to cinch down onto whatever knob you create, and a fixed loop on the other side ready to place a stake thru or ready to attach a longer line to, if needed. For example, you can use a Canadian Jam knot/loop on the cinching side, and a Zeppelin Loop on the other. For my lightweight emergency hiking kit, I include an SOL Heat Sheet (which has no pre-made attachment points), about 6 pennies which are immediately ready to form small knobs, and bankline cut to full guyline lengths with Canadian Jam knots/loops pre-tied to one end on each. I can then tie a Taut-line friction hitch, or any other rope-grab friction hitch, onto the other ends to adjust the guyline lengths.

Nice to have something ready rigged that you use all the time, that said I would just tie off the button with a marlinespike hitch to whatever line I'm using. The marlinspike hitch can be tied in seconds and in the bight of a line so you have a second tie off point in case rigging for high winds. I can see making buttons by cutting cross sections of tree branch. Thanks for the video.

A quick suggestion. Use a stone to wrap the tarp around and secure with the guy rope.

Hi, why not a Noose knot-Figure 8 knot combo (which I prefer), or a Noose knot-Double half hitch combo; the Noose knot-bowline might not be as sturdy, lol... btw I do have those clips you mentioned but I use them to hold up the Tarps as drapes for privacy when I use my pop-up Canopy. Great prep work! I plan on making a set of 6!

@betweenfiveandseven

There's no reason a figure 8 won't work, but the double half hitch could get loose on its own in your gear. A couple of half hitches will stay put with some tension, but just rolled up in your gear, they won't remain tied. .. Thanks for watching!

@dadaUnts

6 жыл бұрын

I continue to learn from other people. When I did mention the double half hitch; I meant that to be done on site while the figure 8 knot is already pre-made and on the tarp. So I guess I'm saying that I would have the figure 8 on the tarp, and then the dbl hh on the working end of the cord.

Good idea.

Hi. Just subscribed! I've been wanting to make a porch for my Quechua 2 man tent and really don't want to use the grommets or add grommets to my new tarp. Am thinking of using buttons using small round pebbles or these commercial ones. BUT! If i leave them permanently attached, how much stress, if any do they apply on the tarp? Will the tarp last better? Thanks in advance.

@betweenfiveandseven

7 жыл бұрын

As with all things, the wear at a stress point will depend on how much stress. If you experience a lot of wind and bad weather, a button tie out spot might get quite a lot of wear. If the weather is good and you don't tie off incredibly tightly every time, such a spot on a tarp might not get much wear at all. I think if it were me, I'd keep what I need to make buttons with the guy lines and pegs and just make new buttons every time I pitch the tarp, but you might do just fine leaving them in the exact same place for several outings.

Thanks for that. I hear so many stories of tarps grommets being ripped out etc, I'm trying to find the least damaging way to secure fastening points at various, "needed points" as situations change. When I find a situation that works for a set up, I can leave alone for the next outing. Suck it and see might be my approach, lol. The tarp i'm using is exactly the same as in your vid.

And had done a lot of window shopping although really hard for me to justify spend near or over 100 dollars on a bag .I have to say the LORD always provides . It happens all the time . I will have a need or a thought of something and the next thing I now there it is free or cheap . I needed and or wanted a large steel cabinet as I live in a 1 bedroom apt and can't get to tools easy . Literally one night out of the blue . While driving home after going to the store for something or other . I got the impulse to turn down a couple streets before getting home on trash night . In my head I was thinking maybe Ill find a Cabinet . I was 3 blocks from my house and had turned down the second street . When t out of the blue the perfect cabinet for tools . It is an older industrial cabinet . So heavy and large I couldn't fit it into the Jeep cherokee or on top the jeeps roof rack . Thank God it was 2 blocks from my apt . I drove home grabbed a dolly and hand trucked it home . Taking rest stops as needed . .The cabinet measures 38 in high 27 inches wide 29.5 inches deep . . It sets a little higher now that I welded a 4 wheel dolly so as it would roll . There are 3 huge draws that can hold hundreds of LBS each . And even with a lot of weight they open with ease and shut with the same ease . Each Draw imeasure 9 in high 24.5 wide and 26.5 deep or front to back . When I first went to get thing or put things in it . I STILL CAN'T GET USED TO DRAWS THAT SEEM TO GO ON AND ON WHEN OPENING THEM . Any way this thing has made my life way more efficient . Making it possible to find things and access things quicker . I used to put off project because I didn't feel like going though the stress of finding the tools . I give God the Praise and glory .

Duh, what is bank line?

@betweenfiveandseven

7 жыл бұрын

Tarred Nylon Twine. It's sold by the pound usually. #36 bank line is about 350lb test (depending on manufacturer... some of it has an even higher tensile strength) and a 1lb roll comes out pretty close to 475 feet of twine. #6 bank line is a little over 3000 feet per pound and it's usually about 50lb test. Those are the two most popular gauges but it comes in many others. I hope that helps!

Maybe just use a slipknot instead of that long to tie noose.

@betweenfiveandseven

6 жыл бұрын

A slipknot won't stay tied loose in your gear. The point to this is to have something pre-tied, ready to go without having to exert any effort or require any dexterity to deploy immediately.

There is a link in the description doe #36 bank line on amazon. I think that one is Sgt Knots. Catahoula is good stuff, too but a little more expensive. Also, slefrelianceoutfitters sells good tarred twine in several sizes. I hope that helps!

Good concept, but why not a slip knot with a stopper knot, like a figure 8 or a basic overhand knot to keep the tag end from pulling through, rather than a noose? A much easier and faster knot to tie, takes less practice to master, and uses less cordage to tie. If it’s easier to do, a person is more likely to do it. Such is human nature unfortunately. I’m not trying to troll, just genuinely curious if there is an advantage over a basic slip knot.

@betweenfiveandseven

6 жыл бұрын

Yes. The advantage is in keeping a couple tied ahead of time. Neither a noose nor a bowline will come undone or get tangled with other stuff in your gear. Both are permanent until you deliberately untie them.

@TheTinkerinMan

Essential Gear & Useful Skills Good point on the noose being more permanent. You could do the same and pre-tie a slip knot, but I can see where there could be a chance that it could snag and pull out while pulling it out of your emergency shelter kit when time can be critical. Good on you for replying to a comment on a year and a half old video. I’m off work till Jan. 2nd. I’ll have to check out some of your other vids. Subbed.
