Nice looking work there. Mine is two short lines, tied with sheet bends to opposite diagonal corners of a loosely rolled bandana. Not as nice looking as yours. But easier and carries the load. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I'm so happy to see this. Than you! I've tried to make a few tumplines and end up finger weaving the whole thing because I don't like the way it looks. I'll give this weaving style a try on the next one.
Good stuff. He doesn't show it in this video but you can use your bedroll to carry additional items as well. Extra mocs, shirt even food bags etc. etc.
I've woven bed-roll straps on an inkle loom with split tails: they come out about 13-feet with about 5-6 feet of split tails on each end. Not long enough to do what he did with it at the end, 90% of the time I just my blanket up with my gear inside, wrap the tails around at each end, then secure tails with a slipped square knot. I've never had an issue with my bed-roll slipping or coming apart. If I end up carrying a lot of gear, I use a ladder-back pack frame to tie everything to.
Wish my inkle loom had enough size to do longer straps. Mine maxes out at about 9', I need to build a bigger one I guess. Most the time I don't need all the length of my tumpline but when I do it sure is nice to have. The length comes in handy for stringing a clothes line to dry gear if it rains, it always seems to rain on me when I camp haha. That and when I carry into a winter camp with my tarp, two blankets, cold weather clothes and misc accoutrements all in my bedroll (it's really more of a burden bag at that point lol) I find it very comfortable, even on a long hike. I guess what works for you might not work for everybody so when you find what works for you run with it. Keep your powder dry.

It's definitely a test in patience lol good luck and hope it turns out well!
Eric Beachy CM is pretty well the man at weaving straps.
Outstanding! I'll have to give this a try, weaving is a new skill for me. Still learning finger weaving at the moment!
Nick Spittler finger weaving is still our favorite
Thanks for all the great information, found it really useful! Thanks for sharing =)
WildCraftAdventures your welcome, CM is pretty good weaver
Very cool. I shall give it a try

What material is he using to make the tumpline and what material or cordage / size of line would be good?
Robert Luke he is using polished hemp large size.

And he is using the same for weaving the shoulder band?
I believe so

Charlie Altvater We use them a lot to rig tarps for shelters.
@@RamshackleHomesteadKeithandJen - I use mine for hunting, just a basic overnight kit and some food.
