Corporals Corner I love this quick loop and toggle system.
Corporals Corner thank you Corporal Kelly I allway's injoy you'r video's 👍👍👍only finally got to watch I'm all for simplicity allway's hated big oh shits and how to many people turn something simple in to a big oh shit every one around me panicking and I'm going yah right what ever you think I'm also for being perpared ahead of time all ready got done and the people around me are trying to untangle there mess 😃😃😃😆 Corporal Kelly is C😎😎L and I salute you back you and you'r family have a great 🎆🎆🎆4th or July 🎆🎆🎆 C😎😎L
Would be interested in learning more about hygiene. Only seen a few vids related; bushcraft related.
Corporals Corner Are you from Ohio as well J town?
I am from the West Coast but teach in Ohio. Thanks for watching
I was just laughing about how you do your ridgeline exactly the same way I do mine, then I realized I saw this video a few months ago and this is where I got the idea from. Thanks Corporal!
I use to go camping all the time when I was younger. Watching your videos has got me excited to get back into it! Thanks so much and keep it up!
Only a few months? God damn you're smoking that good stuff
The best thing about this channel is that he demonstrates EVERYTHING. You see him do exactly what he says, and it works.
Not true. He did not demonstrate the trucker's hitch for the other end of the ridge line. That was what I wanted to see. Otherwise, yes, his video is pretty good.
Jason Kinter he does show it in most of his other videos lol
Yea I know a few others don’t they be doing something different or talking in some way that I have no clue how to follow
yeah, I just gotta pause the video to go learn how to make a fisherman's knot, first 🤔🤔 then figure out about how long each of those 3 bank lines oughta be. lol. Love to learn but being soo new makes ALL of this new stuff
@@RattledEditorfingertip to elbow for the small loops and fingertip to armpit for the large loop.
This video is a timesaver in the field. I decided to hike 3 miles to a remote area today with all my raw materials; tarp, cordage, stakes, and had nothing unpackaged from when I purchased them. It took me over an hour being a novice to setup the emergency tarp for the first time in my life. In the process of setting up the ridge line and tarp for the first time out of the package, I constructed Corporal’s rapid deploy ridge line, now it only takes me a few minutes to set up. I will practice the two minute drill. I would rate this as one of the most underrated videos. This video is #1 on my list.
oof thats a good thing you were not in a real emergency. i tested out my warbonnnet blackbird XL hammock and tarp setup at my house and it was the first time i ever tried using a hammock or tarp and i didnt know any knots except for whatever that basic knot is that you learn as a child, needless to say, it took like 2 hours and it was setup very sub-optimally. im sure you know this by now, but for anyone else reading, test out your gear at home before trying it in the wild.
if it was dropping freezing rain i would have been screwed!
this is especially true for tarps and tents. so many people buy cheap or even some very expensive tents and they take them into the wild and it turns out the product leaks even if setup properly.
Just got home from boundary waters and my friends called me the knot master because I know a bowline, marline spike hitch, clove hitch, a fisherman's knot to attach two cords, prusik knot, and a truckers hitch haha. Have you to thank!
I watch this about once every three months, because the beauty of it still impresses me. It's like visiting an art gallery, same exhibit, different experience.
Finally, someone who makes knot tying easy to fathom! Never thought about making a ridge line setup BEFORE it was needed either. What a useful video, thanks!
I have been out of the Navy since 1994 and had completely forgotten how to tie a bowline. I worked along with you and was able to tie my quick deploy ridgeline. Thank you.
THIS IS A GREAT CHANNEL FOR BEGINNERS TO LEARN THE MOST BASIC FOR OF CAMPING
I love this. As a single mum who was never taught these things I am very grateful for your easy to follow instructions
Since I discovered your channel my get home bag has gotten more focused, lighter, more reliable and easier to deploy. My confidence has risen while my bag has gotten leaner and meaner.
Thank you.
Egbert Nifflefurtz what’s in your bag? I just made one and it’s huge. I’m trying g to lighten it up.
Another one you hit out of the park. You really should be one of the largest outdoor channels on the YT. Precise and to the point without fluff and buff and click bait. Keep the vids coming and remember, "I be watching you, next time".
share my videos and lets make that happen. Thanks for watching
It’s soo kool to see, not only the way bushcrafting has changed but the way your teachings and skills have changed.The way we carry and pack our gear. And most of all the new advances in gear seems every week something new hits the scene
I'm a big believer in 'keep it simple stupid'. You nailed it. Thx.
People don’t realize how knots like this are a MAJOR part of being able to survive in the woods if you needed to. Very informative Corporal😎👌🏻
Best Knotwork Techniques and Deployment Strategies on UA-cam! Thanks Cpl for your experience, attention to detail, and clarity in your videos!
I’m re-watching this so I can put up a shade shelter to camp in repressive Texas heat quickly. The less effort, the better. It’s gonna be HOT.
Corporal Corner*You are by far the best teacher* Thank you so much for your knowledge*
This method of quick deploy ridge line has found a spot on my hike bag. This was a very utilitarian addition!
I’ve watched this video 10x time. Refreshers and remembering
Almost 500 comments you probably won't even see this but thank you for that great idea I recently started using tarps that's a great idea with the Ridgeline
I just made a ridgeline like this. If anyone is wondering, I used 550 paracord for the ridgeline and 425 paracord for the loops and it worked. I wrapped the prusik loops into themselves once more for good measure though.
Love that you have that middle loop on your ridge line.
Some great info mate.
Simple, direct, fast and useful, who could ask for more?
Hands down best video on UA-cam about this topic
Thank you Corporal for another great video. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I’m a city girl and was too scared to go camping in years past because I simply didn’t know how to be prepared. I now go camping and actually enjoy it thanks to you. The skills I’ve learned on your channel gave me the courage to take a technical rope rescue course and a swift water rescue course. I loved it. Thank you, and blessings to you. 🏕🧗🏽♀️🌧☀️
I incorporated this into my SAR pack for my shelter requirement. What a great system. Thanks for educating us!
I'm learning a lot with your videos and I really appreciate your "no bullshit" approach to teaching. Outsanding.
I have absolutely enjoyed and learned from everyone of these videos because of the simplicity on how to do these projects.
fantastic, got my ridge line done, toggles made, got my cheap tent pegs. just waiting on my poncho, then I will make my first emergency shelter. thanks for the great videos.
I like your videos because you keep the plain, simple, and to the point. No elaborate setups or unnecessary B.S. That's the way it should be. Good job. I use a larger tarp so I have a few more drop lines and anchor points but the pre-made ridge line works great especially when you need to make a shelter in a hurry, lime when it is about to or is raining. Also practice setting up your shelter when you don't need it and in different places even those that you normally wouldn't, that way you will be prepared if or when you need to do it in a hurry or a survival situation. You don't always have a lot of time to get it done in and it's always best to be prepared for any situation...
OK, that first step with the bowline I thought you were gonna thread the whole line through... GENIUS move. Just awesome
Out of every video explaining this method, yours is the best. You're a great teacher. TY!
I can attest this is so simple and easy to set up. Just made one following along and it is in my hiking pack. 2 minute rain shelter that packs back up just as fast!
I use this system for the rope that I hang my backpack in the tree with, and many other applications. Hanking up a rope like that is an essential skill in my opinion.
This is by far my favorite system! Thanks for sharing, and keep up the awesome videos! Semper Fi
Thanks for making your systems quick, simple and easy to follow. I appreciate your style!
Thank you so much for demonstrating the knots you use. Also for showing the products, such as #36 bank line etc. Very detailed and I appreciate it so much. You definitely know your stuff!
Well done. That's fast when fast is really needed. Most of the work can be done while warm and dry. A couple of loops could also be attached to the ground corners of the tarp as well. Add two stakes and you have an instant shelter kit.
This will be a huge time saver for me. I would be in camp struggling to remember what knots to tie and how to tie it, or why to tie a certain knot. This way it is already set up mostly and self explanatory. It also is a very lightweight setup. Thanks Corporal.
Cpl Kelly your videos and web store are by far the best in the biz. That’s not to say others’ vids and stores aren’t good or even very good because many are. But yours are top shelf excellent. Thank you for taking the time prepare, shoot and edit these videos Corporal. I really appreciate it. And, it’s time to rebuild my kits, your store makes it easy.
I’ve been wrapping my Paracord in a similar method, but always got knots when it was deployed. This X wrapping method works perfectly. Thanks man! I’m gonna wear this out!
Simple and great, works every time. Made my outdooring much easier. Thanks
I like this system and the idea of having a shelter quickly. Thank you for the knowledge.
Hell yes! Going in my tarp kit tonight.
...the simplicity of this system is matched only by the functionality. Outstanding, and a definite method that every outdoors person, not just Boy Scouts can use to their advantage. Thanks for another winner. Great video, great presentation, great application. One I am definitely going to share...
Thank you and thanks for watching
Well done. The fast deploy wrap is a game changer
Dude I love your channel. You're like my Grandpa RIP. No disrespect. He was a WWII vet, a deputy sheriff, and had a bunch of old school fighting knowledge that he passed on to me. If he had your survival skills he could have had his own school. There's something about the military way of conveying knowledge that makes learning easy. It's not that it's especially entertaining but its easy to retain. U really need to get some investors and open an immersive university in the middle of nowhere.
I've always been a fan of toggles.... As usual you set the standard as applied to simplicity, usefulness, and economy. Thanks Cpl!!
I'm in. This is going in my pack real quick. Thank you Sir.
I had watched this video a while back then today during a Wilderness First Aid course we were rigging up tarps to protect from the weather. Of course I knew of this but didn't know it. So I've just sat and watched, paused and tied, and now I have a rapid ridgeline for tomorrow's stormy weather! Thanks for the great, informative, and useful content. Please keep it up!
Thanks for all your videos. Your channel is great. All your stuff works, just facts and no BS around it. Perfect!
I really LEARNED something!...Love the figure 8 way to wrap my paracord up. I already knew of the Truckie Hitch, Prusik Knots etc. great tip!
Resubmitting a comment: I don't know if you're going to read this or not but, I just wanted to let you know that this has been one of the most useful videos I've watched... I exclusively hike and camp here in the PNW where it rains a lot and I go pretty deep in. This prepped Ridgeline has made my life so much easier and I use it exclusively for my pitch and it works for several geometries. Thanks again!
Quick deploy ridgeline is definately the way to go! Great video.
Appreciate the service and knowledge been watching you now for a few years now and really enjoy your campfire cooking 👍
Outstanding as always. Very informative easy to follow def helps me tighten up by skills. 👍
From one Corporal Marine to another, I appreciate the hell out of your content. I’m definitely using this system on my next camping hike.
You are my second favorite bushcrafter Great video a usual.
As always concise and at the perfect learning pace.
Great channel!
I have used this technique a number of times and have yet to find a method to beat it. I've even shown it to some friends who are impressed with how quickly I can get a shelter up with just a tarp. Absolutely love this video and this channel!
No disrespect, but im having a tough time understanding how this is better than just having a tarp with holes in the corners, tying parachord to each corner with ANY knot, and then tying them tight onto whatever is around
This channel never disappoints. Thanks again Corporal Kelly! Only problem is... Now I've got to update my ridgeline. :P
another good one-- thank you, Cpl!
Thanks for the update. I'm going to refresh my gear this week.
Putting together a new bag and this was one of the first things I did. I never thought about others might not have already figured out the good dope. Nice job. S/F
Another great video! I'm retired from the fire service and we used the prussik a lot in raising and lowering systems. Another very quick and easy way to deploy it is to lay the double fisherman's knot on the ridge line and roll it around the ridge line 3 times through the loop then dress the knot off of center. I thought I would share since deployment speed was important. Keep making videos, this old fireman keeps drilling and practicing. I love to learn new things.
I think that’s called a ‘Klemheist’ knot, I prefer it for use specifically with tarps etc because it seems to hold more reliably than the prusik when using less than ideal cordage like if I ever had to make shelter from whatever cordage I could salvage in my environment like slippery braided nylon etc
you are a good teacher. thank you!
Thank you for this!!! Love how clean and easy this is! Such a great improvement over how I was setting up ridgelines for our kayaks or even clotheslines. I was always using a large roll and re-tying each knot every time.
I took my family to the river today and taught my wife and oldest son how to do it this way and when we came home my wife and I set up ready to go ridgelines for each of us.
This was an awesome video, Brother !!!
I always just dealt with all of the knots and twists of a hank that was created by using your hand and elbow....which creates a super large "hank".
Thank you for the idea !!!
As a former 0311, Semper Fi, Brother !
Keep up the great work.
Once again, a superior video. This system will be of great benefit to my mini-people in their get-home bags. We have built 72-hour bags to keep our brood comfortable in the event they must hunker down at school or worst case, find their own way home. Literally, once the ridgeline is made up, even a child could do this when under stress. Earthquakes (we live in the Philippines) are likely the biggest risk in our area so we included shelter in the event school buildings were not safe to be inside. The bags are stored in their school lockers. We have a list of items with expiration dates so we may rotate older stock out.
That is awesome! You are fantastic, thoughtful parents!
ladyofthemasque, Thank you for the compliment but we are only doing our job the best we are able. The truth is, I have a whole new set of challenges here in the tropics. Back home you could get triple E (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) from a mosquito bite but that is rare. We have some really nasty things to contend with like dengue fever in some areas of the Phils. We make the learning fun and "the gang" look forward to each test of their skills and gear. We think of this as quality family time.
Add a hammock and a full coverage rainfly...(nobody wants to sleep in the floor of the jungle unless there is no other choice!) Great thought on the 72 hour bags.
Great idea , thanks for sharing !
I wanted to come back and say I made a few of these quick deploy Ridgelines of different lengths and weights and I finally got to use them on a camping trip I just went on. From hanging a silnylon tarp over my hammock to hanging a heavy duty 20' over camp, the ease of this ready to go ridgeline is top notch and blew the minds of those I was camping with, not only with how efficient and fast it went up .. but how much faster it came down. Pull this, pull that, remove toggle and its down. Literally can't get any easier than that! 10/10 corporals corner is the best channel on UA-cam
Excellent video as always! Thank you for making this simple tutorial, and not tying your knots fast where I have to rewind a dozen times! This is why your in my top 5 channels simply because you talk common sense about the reality of survival and training as opposed to fantasy situations like troops dropping out of helicopters and herding people into FEMA camps
Outstanding idea! Making one for my wife so she can create instant shade when she takes her pony for rides.
Now that WAS, outstanding.
Loved the large loop in the center for a light. Very helpful. Thanks
Your channel is really growing! You and Canterbury are the best on UA-cam imo.
the best Teufel Hunden NCO channel on UA-cam. Semper Fi.
Great demonstration and explanation of a quick deployment ridge line. You made an excellent case on why to build one ahead of time, so I'm
I'm using polyester kite line in 500 pound strength for the main line and 300 pound strength for the prusik pieces.
The kite line is a lot smaller than nylon paracord at the same strength, won't stretch when wet like nylon, is slightly cheaper and is hollow braid so you can do some nice tricks like easy hollow braid eye splices and brummel splices. It has a similar soft laid feel to it, so knots set and hold well. Polyester (a.k.a. Dacron) is also a little less slippery than nylon and more UV resistant.
I live in Arizona, which is a little light on treess, so I'm adding a couple tie down lines for my hiking poles to be the "trees" to tie the ridge line to. I'm doing them with adjustable loops (via friction hitch) on the ends so you can pop a midway clove hitch over the top of the pole and then bring the lines down to a couple stakes at 45 degrees from center and pop them over the stakes and cinch up.
I don't use the tautline for a friction hitch. It is an abomination. All the nautical manuals show a midshipman's hitch, which is essentially a tautline with the first turn rolled down over the second turn and has about twice the grip. Tying it in tautline form was only for tying it to a spar, not a rope, and was a whipping level offense on the old ships.
Anyway, I've taken to using the Adjustable Grip Hitch ( www.animatedknots.com/adjustable-grip-hitch-knot ) for camping. It ties fast, holds well and can be easily slipped for quick breakdown.
I built the toggles into the prusik loops using pieces of small oak dowels since I can't dependably find suitable twigs on the ground. Cactus is not the camper's friend.
Love it. I have made some ridge line but will add the loops. Perfect
Just finished Lar's 2 sets of John-cord (and earned myself each time - 2 blisters - making the cord is painful). Working on your 2 sets next, and sending with 5 (?) John-knots. Only toggle thereafter. Never go back to any other knot systems.
Thank you! Succinct and well presented. I see so many camps where the day is spent whittling poles and furniture! Nice use of the prusik knot.
Before I camp I write a list of essentials to take. Do you have a mantra/system that prioritises items, by weight, space, multipurpose, efficiency, comfort, moral etc?
Just want to say Thank you, for all your demonstrations of knots that I've totally forgotten how to do. It is a whole lot easier to watch someone doing it, than to read steps off a card/page and attempt to replicate
Thanks for making all this content, I like spending the day watching your videos and trying to memorize all of these cool knots, Thanks for taking the time on making all of this!
5:27 - live long and shelter.
Thank you, this is awesome. I like how slowly you demonstrate the knots, and your camera angles are very helpful. Brilliant job.
You are a very good knot instructor thanks
As always, thank you!
I like using bank line on my ridge lines as well stuff locks right into place and holds tight. Nice setup brother
Once again an awesome vid.
Brilliant! I use each of these knots in a regular basis but I love your application of them, especially in a way where it's mostly pre-tied.
Fantastic idea, simplicity is great 👍👍, great time saver.
It looks like you’ve trimmed down slightly. You look younger ! That’s outstanding.. lol
#richpiana
Very well done. This is a most helpful tip. May I presume that, because of the figure-8 coil, the cordage deploys smoothly without any tangles?
yes, just pull on the Bowline and extend.
Total n00b here, but it has deployed flawlessly every single time I've done it. Learned from the Corporal. 👍
Is there a link to how he has cooked this rope I keep trying but just will not uncoil with out getting tangled
I just made one and tested it out. It deployed flawlessly. Being a girl with small hands didn't seem to matter. The thumb and pinky trick to wrap it up still worked great
Wow, that's EXACTLY how I have my ridgeline system, so I can definitely attest to it's speed and simplicity. Great suggestion 👍
Beautifully executed. Make a few of those and you're ready for most anything.
Always thinking.
Simple and functional, KISS principle well implemented.
Every time I decide to look through your older videos I always find something that is highly useful. This is going to make my camping trips so much less frustrating so I can spend more time doing what I came out to the woods to do. Thank you.
I can’t wait to use this. When the snow clears of course!
Now, that's what I call being prepared!
Ive modified this a little bit. I have a lot of bugs where I am at so I have two UCO candle lanterns with citronella candles. I added two more big loops for a total of 3 big loops. This gives me the two small loops for securing my tarp, then two for the UCO lanterns at either end of the tarp (if its a standard A frame or similar) and one for other hanging stuff in the center. I have found this works really well.
