I made my own using military comms cord (1.5mm diameter). It’s perfectly strong enough for my purposes although I haven’t tried it in a howling gale. It also has the advantage of being a tad more tangle proof than other cords, plus being very compact.😁
A great idea, thank you. Bungees and cord are cumbersome to untie but this system gets rid of the bungees and I have more than enough Paracord to make my own. Cheers
I use a line on jungle knots under my tarp to store gear, either hanging torches, keys etc also means items do not slide about, or putting items through the loops like sweat rags or socks to be held under tension but easy to find. I make mine either out of the new non stretch green string or light wight reflective cord for my civi use.
Great idea Tom and just the right timing. I took poorly whilst shooting and had to bug out from a hide. No walk round check and left a pouch of bungees! I'm out again today and no bungees so I'll make some knots. Basic green string for today though. Thanks.
Handy little things, I used cheap nylon cord on mine that I have attached to the tie straps with a short bit of bungee cord so it can flex a bit in gusty winds, with one of my wife's hair bands to hold them together when not in use. Not as gucci as those little bags but does the job 😉 Take care Roo
Cracking idea. My car was off the road for 6 weeks recently because a bloody mouse ate part of the electrics. (We live very rurally). It cost 800 euros to sort. Now we park on a tarp which we lift up around the car and tie to the various bits of the body to keep a barrier that the mice can`t climb up. It`s a pest tying knots but your system would work fine and be much quicker to do. I`m a cheapskate so will make my own from cord bought from deco. Thanks for the idea.
Great vid Tom👍 Have purchased several sets of TRC Outdoors Jungle knots in both the paracord and bankline, along with TRC Outdoors pegs and other quality items that Ben has to offer. I Highly recommend TRC Outdoors👍
Great video and love the jungle knots started using them a bit ago and wish I knew about them years ago instead of messing with bungee cord or other knots.
Great idea as you said easy to setup yourself with para cord but I like the idea of the small pouches might invest in them thanks for the video atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Always used three bungees....I liked the variable tension they give but granted they are not as versatile as cordage.....of all the various ways you can put up a basha, we used exactly one!lol...pegged the back, raised the centre to an overhead branch and tied off the front two loops to trees no more than knee high...as we spent a lot of our time in various Sitka spruce forestry blocks, the system worked fine. I never got to Belize, but appreciate operating there would be a whole different ball game....
I have only recently switched away from bungees to cordage. All throughout my career bungees were the thing to use. Now getting back to the 'proper' way. I would be interested to know how well they stand up to trees swaying in the wind. Thanks for the info. Saw your spread on SSD yesterday. Awesome...in the big leagues over here now. Well done.
Thanks for the information and the time you put into your videos! Great information! How far apart are the knots lol I couldn't help my self for wondering that throughout your video? Thanks again for more great information.
@@PreparedPathfinder in your video, you have a camoflage tarp. It lools like a really nice one, I was referring that as a veil, as some sniper veils are like that. Just wondering if it is a commonly available type on the market. Great for bow hunting here in North America.
i brought two of those and some bank line and its awesome. trc outdoors is a damn fine man who spoke highly of you. thanks tom
Thanks Gean, appreciate it!
cheers tom as the norm great content be trying some of those
I saw, i bought, i used and i conquered. Great bit of kit.

Another great tip. Like the previous bungee cord you showed in previous video. Use all the time for tarp, not the lightest but so easy and quick.

Got a set of them on my tarp. Been using for the last 3 months. Cracking bit of kit 👍🏻

Yeah they make some good kit hey?
Wow, thanks mate!
Absolutely Brilliant! That Tarp Is Quite Smart As Well!
I was hoping you would do a video on this! Cheers
Cheers mate, yeah it was requested a while ago.
Great video and love the jungle knots started using them a bit ago and wish I knew about them years ago instead of messing with bungee cord or other knots.
Mr. Tom excellent video on the use of jungle knot’s sir . I have not seen These before interested in trying them. 👍👍🤙
Thanks for this, glad to have a good explanation of the system . Love these tricks of the trade to add to the tool box. Keep them coming.
Great idea as you said easy to setup yourself with para cord but I like the idea of the small pouches might invest in them thanks for the video atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
They're a really neat idea👍
Nice just ordered a set of six - looking forward to a little tarpology next week!!

Just made some myself out of bank like to try. Look a good idea
Great info. Thx from the US!
Used a version of this with a carabiner. Clip around the knot and stow the slack. Bit slower and more crap to break for sure.
I run a 30 foot section of jungle loop ridge line in one of my set ups. Super fast.
Bought your basha Kit have not had a chance to use it yet but looks pretty good set up. Greetings from South Louisiana.

Very nice Tom. They look really handy and quick to use. How long is each cord?
Nate
Hi mate, they're about 2m long
Great vid, been waiting for this one 👍
Just bought a set of these to replace my paracord diy ones. You should be on commission mate ! 😂
An interesting way. This is the first I've heard of him. With a strong wind, the rope does not fall off?
No, the tension keeps it in place.
@@PreparedPathfinder Thanks for the reply. I will definitely check it in practice. May I ask what troops you served in?
thanks
Hit Like first, watch later.
Dumb assed question, but how are TRC jungle knots attached to the tarp securing the pouch?
Just threaded through the loop on the tarp.
How long are they. Went on the shop but didn't say.
Very cool 👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks Dave 👍
Tom am I seeing it right you were conspicuously missing a right front tooth in 1997? Big night out in Aldershot?
Yeah something like that! 😂
👍
Fukin genius
Odd... Bankline in the States is three strand braided (often tarred). Yours seems untarred braided.
What veil is that?
Not sure what you mean?

@@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY roger, it’s a Warbonnet Outdoors Minifly.
Imagine paying for overpriced knots in some cord
…in mesh pouches to tidy them away, pre made.
