I love the fact that you're not only pre-planning for simplicity, but also thinking ahead in case of injury or weakness. So simple! Thanks Dave!
Between yourself & Blackie Thomas, all bases are covered. Hats off too both
Hi Mr Canterbury - I made this when you first put the video out, dropped it in my pack and forgot about it. Yesterday I was out and needed a tarp up…I found the line used it and was so thankful for its ease of use and complete simplicity! It won’t be forgotten again!
Best wishes from Norfolk, England.
Absolutely brilliant Dave. When I saw you loop around that second toggle and pull tight it was a truly WOW moment! Thanks so much for constantly seeking improvements and sharing with us.
I felt the exact way
thank you very much sir...we all learn from each other..i think with this refinement you have dialed in the quick deploy ridgeline...
Freakin' genius Dave. Men have made lots of money from lesser innovations. You sir, are a great asset to the bushcraft/survival community. Thanks for all you do/have done!
Shout out to Blackie. His channel is fantastic.
This is a version of the Rapid Ridgeline that I would feel comfortable giving to someone I cared about who didn’t have the interest to learn all the knots 👍🏻
That’s what separates you from the rest, you’re always looking for better ways to make things better. Thanks Dave!
I've been watching knot videos for a while and this is the first I've seen anyone using a prussik instead of making a slip knot for the trucker's hitch. Well done.
I use carabineers instead of sticks/toggles.They are great as spares for other tasks when the ridge isn't up. That's a great setup for pure simplicity 🙏
Blackie is great. Nice callout
While practicing with my son in our yard, we realized the benefit of packing multiple copies of this ridgeline;
Our trees are over 50 feet from each other, so we tied another bowline knot in the end of first ridgeline, ran the toggle of a second ridgeline through, and kept on as before.
If hiking in an area of sparse trees, or pasture land, one never knows how long the ridgeline might have to be, but there's no need to have an excess bundle of line when we transition to heavy woods.
Modularity, pre-planning, and building upon each other's ideas ....
Thanks, Dave!
One additional suggestion at time 7:43 add one more toggle to use as a hand to pull. You can use a figure 8 loop around the toggle to proved added leverage so an older person has a handle to pull instead of the bitter end of the line, giving them additonal hand strenght
Great improvement in the rapid deployment ridge line. Both toggles are incredibly useful. One thing I don't like about the normally taught version was the stick used as a toggle could theoretically fall out under the right conditions. With a hole in the stick and the ridgeline right through it, that end will never fall by itself (it is also basically a free hook if you wanted to hang something there). What is nice about this new version is really the only wear could be on the prussik loop bank line ratcheting against, so basically a "side" piece of cordage might wear out instead of the main ridgeline (if that happened just replace the prussik loop with other cordage and it is all working again). The wear can even be controlled by every now and then (take off the prussik rotate the loop 90 degrees and retie the prussik) so it is not always ratcheting against the same small spot on the line.
Legendary thinking Dave, and mentioning Blackie is pure class ..this is why you are successful, appreciated and the G.O.A.T.!
I'm a little man and I really appreciate all that you do Mr. Canterbury.
I will say “don’t let it be the last one”! Following through the years it has always been looking for the best proposition of “smoothing it”! Looking forward to the next epiphany. Thanks for your perseverance to this!
Continuous improvement. 👍
Absolutely love this concept. Like how you put thought into the people who don’t have the average adult strength and can deploy with one arm.
Wow Dave!! Awesome additions to the rapid ridge line. Definitely adding to my kit. Thanks for another awesome video
Elegance, simplicity, and robustness in engineering is what I admire. This is one..
Dave that is PURE GENIUS! ! ! It is amazing that no one had thought of it before. Thank you for posting this and making it available to the rest of us. It will be my go to ridgeline from now on.
I like this plan. I'm glad to be a part of it! Let"s do it!!!
Dave's rapid deployment ridgeline keeps getting better & better, and he is honest enough to give credit where credit is due. Incredible from a very decent guy. Tks!
So I’m at a cabin on the Mohican river for a few days with the family, and wasnt planning on putting up a tarp….. then came the rain! This vid came across my feed during my youngest sons nap time. Went out to my car kit, grabbed the “ingredients” and put up a tarp next to the fire pit so we have a dry place to sit while we made S’mores! Toasty and dry! Love it!!!! Thanks for the perfect timing!
You've single - handedly shifted the ridgeline paradigm.
Wow! A great improvement, Dave…Your evolution of your techniques and equipment is well aligned with the spirit of Kephart and others of that era who were improving over Nessmuck and previous generations. Keep it up!
No music..GREAT...I can listen when I go to bed. This is a terrific accumulation of know-how and my first project for today. Thank you, David Canterbury.
I'm going to the basic class in November. REALLY appreciate everyone's R&D on this. While practicing I learned it's important to use bank line for the Prusis loop.
I saw this video 2 days ago and yesterday I made 4 of these straight away! My wife and I both carry packs in our vehicles so these went in as soon as I was done. I tested them and this is the simplest ridge line I have ever used! Genius idea Dave! I built 2 for the kids that live next door as they are starting to be old enough for back yard camping,, and yes, I am instructing them in bushcraft basics. Can't say enough about how simple this is to use.
I've been using that third prussik at the end for tightening the line against the "far" tree, but that toggle idea from Blackie is positively brilliant! I'll be retrofitting my ridgeline kits for that over the next few days, after making myself some toggles!!
That is so simple, it’s cool!
So simple and yet so ingenious. I think even I can put up a ridgeline with this method.
This system is very nice! Thank you so much for sharing!
Absolute gem Dave!! So much thanks for these vids. Ive never used integrated toggles, and its so simple, I needed you to tell me about it!!! Best wishes to you and your crew.
So glad I found this, simple and effective, it's the way I'm teaching my Scouts now, thank you so much
I like this concept. Thanks Dave.
Woah this has got to be the best rapid deploy ridgeline I've seen. Will definetly start using this, thank!
That is an awesome idea Dave. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us.
JUST Made it!!!! LOVE IT! THANK YOU
That is brilliant. Totally making one and trying it this weekend!
Ole Blackie Thomas is pretty sharp. Excellent QD Ridge line, and I will be using it. Hope to see it in the upcoming ATV camping series, If there is One ?
So, made this tonight and I must say I am impressed!! Thank you for tinkering with this and putting it out there for the rest of us to use and implement - much appreciated!!
Finally getting around to watching this video. This is so much better than the knot video I shared a couple of weeks ago. Can’t wait to be at the school again soon for WFA and Advanced
The most simple and quickest of all the ridge line methods. Brilliant! Makes it that much quicker to set up a tarp. Thank you.
Wow, nice! Now to re-do my other ridgelines like this; outstanding!
Wow it just gets better and better , brilliant
Thank you
So exciting! I cannot wait to implement this in my pack! Thanks David!
😮 Amazingly simple.
I've been playing around with numerous Ridgeline setups, and I believe this is the one. Thanks, Dave.
Nice job Dave, I like the simplicity and pre-planning of this to make this process easy. Thank you.
Thanks Dave, this is one of the best and easiest ridge line systems I've ever used. 👍
That is the best ridge line set up I've seen. 👍👍
Fantastic system
Thanks Dave, I just made one of these and it works great. Can't believe how fast I was able to put up a ridge line!
My bowline side toggle is a 0.5x6" ferro rod tied to the ridge line with an 8" long prusik, so it can be removed easily. I'm a fan of having backups and multi-use.
Oh, now this is awesome! I've been using rated carabiners on my ridge lines for the girth hitch, but using that prusik knot for the truckers hitch, now that you've put it in front of my face, just makes a stupid amount of sense. It's gonna be so much easier to teach my kid how to set up a ridge line with this setup, for sure. Thanks for the video, Dave!
Brilliant. Best efficiency quick system ever. Thanks again 😊
Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure into the woods
Man, that's clean. Thank you very much!
That is just so clever Dave! I'm sitting here looking at my emergency shelter right now. I was already using your quick deploy Ridgeline on it. All I have to do is that another prusik is the to toggles. And then I'll do the one in my hiking pack. Thanks much.
I'm going to get the guys together and get these in all of our kits. Thank you as always David.
This is so simple! Even I can deploy it! I can't remember a ton of knots, like the trackers hitch, but I can easily remember the prussic knot! Thanks Dave!
I really like the toggle and loop connections Dave, especially the one connecting the line to the tree. Thanks!
I just want to thank you and Blackie for your teaching on this. I’ve been searching for a long time to find this system. I just made my Rapid Ridge Line Deployment to go into my get home bag, and my other packs. Preplanning and assembling this and keeping it together will be a game changer.
So simple & yet so functional. Cheers DC from Australia.
Love it. Making one for my kit.
Excelentes recomendaciones..muchas gracias
Keep up the Good Fight!!! I've watched and learned from you for years now
Thank you! So simple. You got my attention. I'm going to get going on this today.
Really enjoy seeing this system evolve, the more folk can do it, the more folk can get out in the woods. 👍
I'm liking it! Thank you so much for thinking about folks that may be injured or have a disability. You're the best!
Thank you for another outstanding update on the SDRL!!!!
Glad I found your channel I always used to watch you on dual survival very informative and am sure this 1 is awesome to continue to teach us
I have been using the prussik loop on my ridge lines for about 3 years now but the toggle idea is awesome! I do use small Carabiner Clips to attach tarps and other items to the ridge line so I don't have to tie any knots for anything and really now will only use toggles as covered in this video!
This is easily the best version I have seen anywhere. Ingenious
Thanks Dave! Been watching tons of videos and tinkering myself. So far this is the easiest and most practical for me.
Excellent tutorial and your explanation and reasoning is sound. I will definitely be giving this setup a few tests in my backyard camp area. Cheers!
I like this idea so much that i modified my ridgeline today to be the same thanks Dave
Brilliant.
You're a genius, seeing you on dual survival kind of got me wanting to learn more knots and rope work for general purpose and climbing if need be
Quick, simple, effective, totally logical and practical. Brilliant stuff...! More please...!
Wow! what could be simpler than this. Thank you for sharing . Nepal
This is the RDR I will be using from now on!! Simple, quick to put up, quick to get down, and could be done if injured. Great job Dave! Thank you for sharing this!!
Thank you for this video - very simple, easy and clever. You have a lot of bushcraft gear. T👍👍👍
Wow. I made one of these this morning. It didn't take just a few minutes and it works awesome. This is a great addition to my survival pack. This is literally the best setup I have ever used. I would say 2 minutes and it is setup and ready for the tarp. Thanks
I thought the other way you did that was pretty simple but this way is way way simpler and a whole lot quicker. I can see where a person with one hand can do this. For as easy as it is I believe I'm going to set mine up like that too cuz it looks really easy, I'm just going to have to practice it a couple of times but I'll get it no problem. Thanks Dave you're always coming up with something quicker and simpler plus it won't be that hard to drill a hole in the toggle out in the field.
Dave! I've only just started using your last ridgeline improvement.
Now you bring out another! 😂
To be fair though, this is a genius amalgamation of various well-established knots, cinches etc.
I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Brilliant! You have always been an innovator rather than an imitator.
I keep learning more things from Dave all the time
Love the touch of using the Prussik to hold the second toggle. You "lose" a bit of the useful length of the ridgeline, but really no more than a tautline/truckers hitch. It's clever, and certainly a great way for younger scouts to get a good tight line going. Kudos.
Wonderfully simple, effective field expedient ridge line deployment system. Thanks Dave
Love to see the best in the business can still pick up new tricks, and then improve our simplify them. And great to hear Blackie's name come up
Keep knocking it out of the park, Dave
I am loving this Dave - great idea! I'm already using jungle toggles as so much simpler than knots but this is next level rather than using a truckers hitch as I have been up until now 👍
Bravo!! 🎉 I love the fact that I can upgrade all the strings I’ve tied together and stashed in vehicle as and go bags
Thanks, Dave, for the video. I am a complete beginner and gave this ago today. Thanks for your sharing your skills knowledge.
Great thinking Dave. Your the man! Now I have to put locking toggles on my Ridgelines. Already had 3 prussics.
I made today this system and i'm going to do It forever.
Man! That's genius!
Great video, man. Appreciate the knowledge you shared here.
