Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I’m really glad you found the directions helpful.

@@nazifaydemir38 thanks for your kind words. It means a lot, I’ll make more content in future. Thanks for the support! Have a great day 💐⛺️😊

Thank you for your comment! The sagging at the top of your tarp could be due to insufficient tension in the poles. Here’s what you can try to fix it: 1. Make sure your guylines are securely attached to the poles and staked at a wide angle (further from the base of the poles). 2. I'm assume you're using guyline tensioner? Try adding a second guyline to each pole for stronger support. Attach them at different angles to keep the poles more stable. (If you're not using tensioner, please use Trucker Hitch Knot for stronger support) 3. Ensure the tarp’s edges are evenly tensioned, as this will also help reduce sagging at the top. Let me know if this works for you! 😊

@@ethanhorizon Thank you very much, if I use tensioners in each wind, I will try the tips, I will add a second wind to the posts, thank you very much for answering, when I try it I will answer you if it worked for me

@@14bqdonk There’s really no right or wrong way to do it. 😉 Tarp material and wind conditions vary for everyone, so if you find that using 4 poles works better, go ahead and use 4!

@@TheEmberKeeper thanks for your kind words. Glad that helps 😊🙌🏻

Hey! This one’s actually a DIY tensioner using a beer can tab, not a Tautline Hitch! 😅 But if you’re looking for real knots, I just posted a video with classics like the Tautline and more-check it out here! ua-cam.com/video/F0o2haXWG4c/v-deo.htmlsi=T-N9d38kHNBte1ur

Glad it was helpful! 💪

I don't see why not! Fishing line might have more resistance with these hitches though! Practice with rope, and then try with the fishing line

Generally, yes! I’m not into fishing, but if I’m not mistaken, fishing line tends to stretch. If you’re using a Taut Line Hitch, it may not hold as well due to this stretch, which can defeat the purpose of a ‘taut’ line. The Trucker Hitch might work better for tension, but keep in mind that fishing line is quite thin, which can be tricky if you have larger fingers. And, since fishing line is also slippery, it’s a good idea to test your setup a few times, especially if you’re hanging anything delicate. Have you considered using a Prusik loop? You can make a loop, tie a Prusik knot with a toggle on the main line, and hang your light object on the toggle. This gives you easy adjustment along the line while keeping everything secure.

@@garthatkinson4635 Agree! I’d definitely recommend testing it a few times just to make sure it stays secure. Thanks for adding that!

@@Hilliorm85 Glad to hear that! Thanks for stopping by 😄

Yes. It's Suzuki Dmax. Thanks for dropping by :)

I totally get it! Not everyone wants to learn knots, so as long as there’s demand, there’ll be creative solutions like this. Manufacturers keep coming up with different tensioners just to meet that need. In my next video (coming in a few days), I’ll cover adjusting guylines with reliable knots like the Trucker Hitch, Tautline Hitch, and Farrimond Friction Hitch-no tensioners needed! Stay tuned!

@@ethanhorizonlearn knots? Like those same people will pull this out and remember the convoluted way to use it?

Haha, sounds like she’s onto you! Just tell her you’re switching to kombucha cans now-same pull tab, way less suspicious! 😆

Tautline? Teach real hitch, not this crap! 🤮

@@kewlheadkewlhead4038That whistling sound you heard was the point of this video sailing right over your head. This is an option for a lost tensioner not a knot. Post your own video of as taut line hitch.

@@PopCornSheffield-ow4vm got ur point 😂 glad u brought ur beers along 😂 no need to post a tautline hitch, amusing to find a guy who loves camping and needs tensioners for a tent 🤣✌️

I agree, it does looks like Siberian Hitch. But they're slightly different. Both featured a quick release, looks very similar. Try make 2 knots side by side, you'll see the knot is different.

​@@ethanhorizon I gave both a go, and you're right. But it looks good. I normally just use taut line hitches to attach guylines, but I like your hitch and will give it a go for tying off my ridgeline when I'm out this weekend. Many thanks, from Scotland. And great content, I'll definitely keep watching.

Agree! But there are people not really into learning new knot, they just prefer using a tool for convenience. In my next video, I’ll show how to adjust guylines using reliable knots like the Trucker Hitch, Tautline Hitch, and Farrimond Friction Hitch, no tensioner needed! Stay tuned!

Absolutely agree. This tool looks quite complicated.

Thanks for your feedback! I totally agree, it can be tricky if you’re not familiar with it. In my next video, I’ll show how to adjust guylines using reliable knots like the Trucker Hitch, Tautline Hitch, and Farrimond Friction Hitch, no tensioner needed! Stay tuned!

You mean water bowline? I guess it looks a like because of the 2 loops?

That's an interesting technique! Are you in the military? Run the paracord through tarp eyes with small knots....i don't quite follow here. I wish you can show me the photo.

@@ethanhorizon nah m8 was in some outdoors clubs. im not sure if youtube allows that.

@@KeiCampPH thanks for your kind words, hope that’s helpful 😊

@@jansteyn7477 did you mean slightly tilt the pole tip outward? Pool noodle around the guyline, that’s a great idea! Perfect for family camping 👍🏻👍🏻

@@PAKLeow yes, I used to do that too, especially when I had to leave in a hurry, until I learned this trick 😉

Thanks so much! 😄 Glad the video helped you out! An hour for a tarp setup? Been there! Now you’re a pro-keep crushing those camp setups! 🔥 Btw, I like your asmr style family camping video, your kids are so cute :)

You're most 🤗

@@KeyserTheRedBeard Thanks so much! I’m glad you found the breakdown helpful. Practicing knots in real-life scenarios definitely builds muscle memory, making the process faster and more intuitive. The more you practice, the quicker and more reliable you’ll become at tying knots, especially under pressure.

Most welcome 😊

Yes, it’s already in our plan 😏 stay tuned 💪

@@alanclarkson1921 hi Alan, Thanks so much for the kind words! Really glad to hear the video was helpful. Take care and happy camping!

@@broman23 it might seem tricky at first, but with a bit of practice, it becomes much easier. Give it another try, and feel free to ask if you need any tips!

You're welcome

Thank you ☺️
