    I no longer have my puff jacket and my wife's puff jacket out of control when we go out, especially when we're in the car or out at a restaurant. This is definitely a city survival skill. Thanks so much, sir.

    Use this a lot after seeing it on Felix Immler's channel a few months back. Switched from a bowline though due to the propensity to come apart when not under constant tension. Now using an End Bound Single Bowline; was developed in 2009 to replace the figure-8 loop in climbing due to the tendency of the figure-8 to seize when under load.

    This is awesome. I’ve been doing a combo bowline with a pull through around a blanket, tarp, etc, and then pulled across the length of the roll into another trip around, ending in a truckers hitch. It works but a little funky to accomplish.
    THIS little gem just fixed that! Love it! Thanks dude

    So, in essence it's a modified Trucker's Hitch that doesn't slip because of the toggle and you don't have to tie that little not at the binding point. That is ever so cool and I most definitely will be using that. Thanks for another tool for the toolbox. Very simple very easy! Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!

    Hah.. I just had to figure out how these work again less than an hour before finding this video. I usually need to look at it for a second before undoing it if it's been awhile. Winter camping ain't very feasible for me at this point in life so I'm happy to get back to it.

    I have them set up for guy lines on my tarp if I want to fly it. My stakes already have a good size loop on them, so taking the bowline to the tarp and using the loop on the stake does the same thing! Very versatile! I'm playing around with how many, I have four right now, thinking 5-6 for having 2 extra around camp.

    You can make a locking trucker’s hitch without the toggle stick by running the tail through the loop twice. If I was actually tying cargo down, I’d still add a lock knot, but it acts the same fashion as this. Maybe use your toggle as a handle to get a good pull?

    Awesome. It's like a truckers hitch with less steps. You could also tie a quick half hitch with the pulling end around the strand next to it to make it extra secure.
