I've been wondering how to use the guy line tensioner for the longest or even know the proper name for it. Also, these knot techniques have helped me immensely. Thank you for this vid. 🙏
I couldn't figure it out trying to use common sense because I don't realize the knot at the end of the line needed to remain captive at the plastic tensioner, thinking it was pulled away as a length adjustment. Didn't realize the line was to be doubled up from the stake that way, would have been so much quicker and tidier this way😅
Wow .. good video... Think I finally got that whole bowline figured out!🎉🎉 Been trying to figure out the whole Ridgeline thing!😂 I think this covers the simple method!🎉🎉
I’ve always wanted to learn how to tie knots, but was intimidated. This instruction video is very clear and I am looking forward to trying the bowline, truckers knot & slippery half hitch on the bird feeder pole in my front yard to keep it straight this winter. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your thorough and patient teaching style! I know this is a simple skill, but one I have had trouble with. The few times people have tried to show me how to tie knots, they always went through it too quickly. This was perfect!
I've watched a bunch of knot videos and this one is by far the best, in terms of explanation and demonstration... and even the audio only vibe at the end as I write this. Well done sir!
Thanks for a great tutorial! I was able to guy out my tent for the first time without any issues, just before a fierce hailstorm came through, because I studied your video before my trip. Thanks for helping me keep my tent on the ground!
This is such a great video! It was recorded very well, edited very well, you show the process very well, all with no confusing filler in your speaking. It's all concise and perfectly educational. You're like the father we've never had! Thank you!
I've watched more than a handful of these tutorials in the last couple of weeks, and yours is by far the most useful for me. I am a new Scout Mom and first time tent owner. Setting it up in the parking lot of my local Elks Lodge, I could not for the life of me figure out how to stake and guyline it on concrete! This was the only video I found that helped illuminate that conundrum; resolved with a tensioner knotted after going through the tent loop, and secured to cinderblocks (that were attached with ratcheting tie downs to the floor) with the trucker's hitch you've just taught me! Maybe not ideal, but it allowed me to learn how to set up, and check that the tent itself was able to withstand the little Texas thunderstorm that passed by this weekend. Thank you immeasurably, and happy holidays! PS the chimes are beautiful. Sound very similar to the ones in the kitchen of my RV! Peace and blessings!
Erin, I am thrilled that this video was able to help! A bowline knot and trucker's hitch are two of my most frequently used knots in our camp setups. Keep those two in your pocket and they'll aid in almost any wilderness rigging riddle. Way to go using what was available to you in your setup, that's really neat! I love my little wind chime and hope to get a bigger set of chimes sometime this summer. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, Erin. Good luck to you and yours in the scouts!
@@robertsbushcraft I'll admit I had to watch it a few times, and keep my phone on me while setting up so I could reference. But I'm sure that the Scouts will provide plenty of practice and some day it will come as easy to me as it does to you! I did have to chuckle at your reply though, solely for the fact that my husband has been known to call me "Erin Macgyver" after my "junkyard approach" to problem solving. Lol! Bamboo chimes are my favorite. In larger stalked ones, some of the tones are so rich and gorgeous - they are mesmerizing! And easy to craft yourself - if you have the right stuff lying around 😆😉🤣 Not sure if this will work, but here's a link to a picture of the one I have hanging in our RV flic.kr/p/2i94CSX
My wife often says that "if noone else can fix it, you can." I'm a tinkerer and student of the junkyard approach, what else can I say? Those bamboo chimes are really neat! I may try and make a set or two this year.
I never knew about trucker's hitch before. Even though it's super simple I never bothered to learn how to tie down a tent ⛺ Very informative, thanks for posting!!
@@robertsbushcraft I have always been confused on how to do a truckers hitch when I didn't have ratcheting tie downs. You made it completely simple. I'm taking my 5 yo daughter camping for the first time and looking for resources. Thanks!
Happy I found this. I misused that piece today, I knew it wasn't right, I didn't put it around the stake i just tied a knot in the line instead of using it to create the loop. Will fix it tomorrow, thanks!
Thank you sir ! A nice clear video for novices like me. I've never bought a nice tarp before so I picked up a beautiful AquaQuest 10 x 13 camo Defender through Amazon. Not cheap but you get what you pay for most of the time and the tarp is beautifully made. With your help now I can half way know what I'm doing ! LOL Thank you !
Very good explanation of the basics. I use a bowline and truckers hitch often so I was not looking to learn but I did. A lot of beginners try tying a bowline and end up with a cowboy bowline because they make the initial lop the wrong way round. The idea of making a lower case 'd' is easy to remember and ensures the bowline is formed correctly. I liked that.
TYSM for sharing this in - depth tutorial about how to use the guy - line tensioner. Thank you also for showing us how to tie the two knots you used. I do appreciate your taking time to slowly explain all you did for us. 👍😉👍
OH MY GOSH - THANK YOU‼ My first tent & had no clue. UA-cam is a great avenue to learn & yours was the first video. No need to look further. Your a great teacher!
Thank you thank you thank you. I’m a beginner and last camping trip could not understand how to use these guy lines or how to secure them. Lol. Bless you.
I learned this knot working on the drilling rigs. It was the knot used on the cathead line to pick things up. It can hold alot of weight and is still easy to untie when you need to change knots. I remember it cause the rabbit comes out the whole around the tree and back down the whole 😂
Thanks for the video, especially the guy line tensioner piece. Not so much the bowline; As a right handed person, it is much much easier for me to go through loop from left to right and create a "b" instead of a "d" as that allows my left hand to hold the rope steady while dominant hand completes the through hole, wrap, back up through hole and tightening down.
Very helpful, I have referenced this video both times I have pitched our tents. I know, if only I would remember I wouldn't need to search knots on you tube every time I see cordage. In my opinion Bolin knott will be my choice when I need to call a knot by name.
Very useful video. Wrapping the guyline around the tent stake, feeding the working end back thru the bowline, then tensioning & tying off with a slippery half hitch ... I've seen that method referred to as a McCarthy Hitch.
Thank you so much this is one if not the best howto vid I have seen learning these knots they might seem simple to you but even for a former vet I never learned them We had bungee cord. And i used ugly Knots.. kind regards all the best from the Netherlands
Great video! That tip to make a “d” for the Bowline made everything clear for me. And I’m happy to know I have been using guyline tensioners correctly.
Thank you so much! About to go on a beach camping trip and no one ever taught me or my husband how to tie them down. I know we need sand stakes which we’ve already got coming in so these techniques will help with the constant sea wind. Again much thanks 💕
@@robertsbushcraft Thank you we recently got some and am hoping that the ground will be thin enough for them we aren't sure but we do have our basic anchors too just in case. Thank you for all your information!
This was a very thoughtful, clear and educational video- thank you for your patience and awareness for us on the other side. You took your time with the knots and ensured the camera angle was so we could clearly see. Thank you!
Kalmyk (instead of bowline) and rolling hitch loop (midshipmans loop, instead of tensioning tabs) makes it possible to make a rope only way to set guy lines in a nice way. Kalmyk has a quick release, so you release the kalmyk and then slide back the rolling hitch out of the end where the kalmyk was and the rope is completely undone.
Very handy for noob like me! Been practising various knots lately😎. Cheers from the Netherlands Missing the taut hitch. Used that to set up my tarp as I had not the wee plastic tensioner thingies
My hammock is easy setup, kind of obvious, but still included directions. The rainfly says setup is easy, but it requires knots I didn't know and directions were NOT included. I figured out how to attach it to trees using the taut line hitch, 2 tension adjusters, and 2 toggles, but I still needed help with guy lines. 👍
Thank-you. I've used guy lines loads as a kid. But I am dyspraxic so my brain goes to mush with stuff like this when I'm Out Out. Gonna practice now at home repeatedly until its second nature and hopefully I won't flap when Out and neither will my tent 😅
Get awesome military surplus gear here alnk.to/fHlelyN
Oh this guy is a superstar. Great communicator, clear instructions and demonstrations. Legend.
Most tent instructions don't tell you how to use these things so I'm really thankful for this.
You are very welcome, righteousrat!
Very nice, easily undestood, slow demonstration and easy to remember. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome, 4dzone!

The repetitive tying along with the soothing wind chimes and explanation is awesome.
Great tutorial for the ol bowline.
Thank you, S!
The Perfect Tutorial! As a complete noob, I learnt exactly what i needed to know as a foundation point! 10/10. Thank you sir.

make sure if you use a mechanical line fastener that your Knott is big enough that it won't be pulled through
Great video man... Just got a new tent that had these included... Thank you!
