  • great vid

    kids and I will be using this new knowledge next weekend at a boy scouts jamboree.

    Will be nice to use these knots instead of all the half hitches and such I used to use

  • Hey, thanks for your comment!

    Yeah these knots are really awesome and you can use these in various other situations too. Until I met these knots, I used to use the chinese transport knots for tensioning tents and/or tarps, but they're not quick release.

    Cheers :-)

  • Thanks for your word sc00ny :-)

    Knowing that others like yourself are interested has motivated myself to keep editing and uploading. All the best!

  • In Boy Scouts we tie up a hammock with a clove hitch on one end and a taught line hitch on the other to adjust it. we finish it with a slippery half hitch to make it quick release.

  • All I can say is a humble thank you.

  • RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • A very clear video of Mears' preferred '3-Knot System' for basic camp setup.

    I've used these knots personally and can attest they will hold significant weight in the intended purpose. Further, the incorporation of a slip-knot system really simplifies break-down.

    Nicely picked, Ritchie!
