I really like this never ending process of improvement and experimentation. Excellent video. This was amazing. Rest assured, I will be practicing this!
This is great if you have the clips to use at the time you need it. But it’s like with most technology, when you need it you may not have it. You still need to know how to do a ridge line with just the line itself. Don’t let the newest technology replace the basic way of doing something.
I just finished building mine using your system. I went with 770 Parachute cord instead of 550. This thing is awesome and as you said, super fast! Thanks Dave!
I love that Dave is constantly trying to improve his systems and adapt to modern devices. Will be ordering those right now. FYI Home Depot has them if you can’t wait 2 days to get them.
K.I.S.S. System!!! Love this concept and I use these Night Eyes sbiners in other uses daily!! Now I will use them in my ridge lines!!! Great video Dave!!!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. Definitely like that better than having the wooden toggles prestaged on the ridgeline. Seems like that will pack better.
This is very fast I must say. It has to be the fastest way I've seen to date and extremely simple to use. I thought I had about the fastest method until I watched your video. I will definitely get some S binders and try it out. Thanks for the great innovations that you have come up with over the years. Great job Dave.
I'm a big fan of your previous system with the toggles and prusik loops, however I've got a few of these S biners laying around and I'm definitely going to have to give it a shot. Never hurts to have options.
I came back to look for what size s-biner to get and saw you provided a link... thank you. A six-pak for $11 shipped, brother that ain't bad! If you went around the s-biner twice on the tensioning end before you tie your slippery half hitch, I think it'd lock when you pull on it making it even more secure. JMHO
Found a package of two #1, 5 lb Nite Izes at a local Home Depot for $ 4.50. Toggle Hint: Look at General (brand name) dowel pins, also available at Home Depot. These fluted hardwood dowel pins come in many sizes, diameters of 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8". Lengths vary with diameter, 1/4" is 1" long, 3/8" is 1 1_2" long, 1/2" is 2" long, etc. A package of dowel pins runs around $ 3. The number of pins in a package varies with diameter, for example, 32 count for the 3/8" pins. These hardwood dowel pins are excellent premade toggle pins, consistent in size, and the fluting makes them easy to hold and manipulate when wet.
Awesome ^_^ Even thought I rather like an only rope ridge line, I got this new one for emergencies, looks effective. As usual, Thank You very much Sir ^_^ Greetings from France guys ^_^💗👍🏾🙏🏾
I must admit that I will always use basic & simple gear rather than relying on items such as carabiners, or the like where possible. More gear to buy or lose.
You always have the most innovative field craft videos. I would love to hear your take on urban survival i.e., urban 10 Cs, etc. Anyway, always well done!
Good idea as long as you maintain the skills needed to make a ridgeline on the spot with bare cordage. One set of skills I use the most is knot tying and rope management without relying on mechanical tensioners or devices.
I've used a similar setup for a couple years but Mine I used the end Nitize just snapped through and the second one in a half hitch like where you pull the line through a truckers hitch but the Nitize slides smoothly. This is a really nice, better version that I'm going to be switching to immediately. Thanks Dave.
Rigging my ridge line is easy. My problem is finding two, handy trees with good spacing, and nice ground in between them. Often, there is only one anchor point furnished by Nature, or the campground. The other end has to be secured with guy lines and either a kayak paddle or a pole. That procedure uses up a whole bundle of these 25 second packets. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
I liked the design enough to try it and realized something. Understandably, the video is centered on the clips and technique so prusick loops weren't integrated. I found the prusick loops need to be placed between the starting loop/snap-link and the snap-link you slide down to replace the tucker's hitch. This allows you to slide the loops down and leave them behind towards where you want to position the tarp. Also, I long ago ditched the bowline. It tends to shake loose too often as it rattles around between applications. For my ridge-line and the three 6' hanks I carry in my pocket daily, I use either a Scott's Locking Bowline or a Double Dragon loop. Either comes untied when you want to untie them, even after loading the pressure on them but won't shake loose from movement like a standard Bowline. Every Bowline loop I tied in a hank would untie in my pocket over time, even if I loaded up the pressure on it.
Personal preference is hitches, but being a trucker it's second nature to work this way and just as fast. For the average person this is a good tool to have.
I freaking love this ridgeline! Blackie Thomas has an excellent similar video on using a Ridgeline with the Nite Eyes rope tensioner tool. 6-1 half a dozen to the other.
thats the coolest thing I’ve seen and who know maybe u can get with that company and make some exclusives in titanium sell em in your site for a lil more strength
those are going to shear in half. i've done that with new alunimin msr tent stakes wrapped like that and a lightly windy day. the tension or vibrating tugs will cut the carabineer in half at the wrap. i've cut through several of those in 1 season. you need a different material for the s hook. just be prepared, when they sheer they like to impact the tarp and puncture.
Hey Dave have you ever tried what’s commonly known as the continuous ridgeline? I have used it for years, it’s basically the same thing you just showed except it uses two normal carabiners and one prusik know. The great thing about it is that it’s easy to adjust and you just clip the corners of your tarp to the carabiners. You also have the option to run the ridgeline under or over your stretched out tarp .
I use all your systems and this one will be no different I think I will add some pursik loops for my tarp set up and maybe slightly bigger s hooks but I love the idea and will definitely try it out thanks
was carrying the sister carabiner to these s-biners in my front pocket of my pants. note i said WAS. they carabiner was destoryed in my front pocket while carrying it. the side clipped prongs where removed from the main body. i'm guessing it was side to side stress. these may work when you only have front too back stress, BUT apply side stress they will fail. go with the other ridgeline ideas.
I keep the 2nd biner up front with the other one until it's time to deploy it. Because the 2 prusiks stay on the line I take the 2nd clip off, go to the other anchor point and reattach it where it needs to be and tension the line like normal
Nice. Pretty smooth and straight forward. I think jungle cord would be faster. That would be neat to see a comparison with this and jungle cord😁. Thanks for sharing Dave👍💯
I like the idea of using load rated screw gate carabiners if i am packing a system i want it to be more versitile and having dedicated clips that are only good for your ridgeline or other light duty is a missed opportunity if you need somethin heavy duty some time out there in the field love the ridge like the way you hank the line back up but i would only change the clips
Dave Canterbury deploys a ridgeline as fast as possible and I watch his new videos as fast as possible.
Man! Just when I have gotten the hang of a quick deploy ridgeline set up, Dave invents another one! Great job, thanks!
What I like the most is how you never have a ceiling for anything and keep bringing new stuff in.
Any content from you, I appreciate it. Thank you for all the knowledge you have passed down in your channel.
Always innovating and refining.
How can you not respect and admire the man.
Awesome development on your skillset - sharing it is humbling.
I like that. Makes setting up a shelter with cold hands even easier...
Love your rapid ridge line episodes. Living and camping in SE Texas, getting a tarp up quickly is a necessity for sudden storms.
As soon as I get Dave's last one, he updates!
Picked up a couple of these mini S-Biner thingies because of this video. Thanks Dave. 👍
Great work.hats off to Dave Canterbury R&D.
That's awesome, Dave! Thank you! 👍
I really like this never ending process of improvement and experimentation. Excellent video. This was amazing. Rest assured, I will be practicing this!
Amazing to see an improvement on a timeless design, bravo!
I've used those CamJams from Nite Ize to deploy a Ridgeline and they work very very well if you want to be lazy and do it fast.
I just bought these clips the other day, didn't exactly knew what to do with them other than to carry my keys!
Thank you so much.
🔆
Dave is obsessed with ridge lines. Before he dies, I suspect we will see a hands free 3 second set up.
Absolutely great find wtg Dave
Also your basic course bind craft and knots changed my outdoor game forever!
Awesome idea!🤗🤗🤗 That proves that the human mind gives tools their true value.😎
Let us keep our minds sharp!😊
I'm shocked, I really expected them to bend. That's so cool!
Dang Dave! You are one innovative sucka.. Reminds me of when Cody was eating bugs, and you were eating alligator. Thanks Davis!
That is very cool, Dave. Thanks for showing it to us.
Dang. I have a bunch of those just chillin in my desk. Sweet!!
This is great if you have the clips to use at the time you need it. But it’s like with most technology, when you need it you may not have it. You still need to know how to do a ridge line with just the line itself. Don’t let the newest technology replace the basic way of doing something.

!Splendid! I would call that a most effective and innovative use of the Munter Hitch principle. Thanks!
K.I.S.S. System!!! Love this concept and I use these Night Eyes sbiners in other uses daily!! Now I will use them in my ridge lines!!! Great video Dave!!!
Thanks for sharing your ideas. Definitely like that better than having the wooden toggles prestaged on the ridgeline. Seems like that will pack better.
You are no doubt the man . Thank you brother.

Damn that is smooth and simple
Pretty cool. Love how fast and simple that is.
Depending on your tarp you can use the spare beeners on your pressics for quick attach/detach to the tarp as well.
Great to see your still improving it.
I guess it wont be the last iteration of your quick deploy ridgeline 😁
Love watching Dave in his element. There's nothing better on UA-cam.
Good one sir. Thank you very much
I can see your excitement Dave and its awesome!!!
it is a new idea sir ! thanks for posting

Awesome evolution of the rapid deploy ridge line! Appreciate the content.
That's fantastic!
Great work. Never quit learning!
Great little system for a quick deployment.
Dave does it again ! ! !
brilliant that is talk about fast well done dave you pulled out the hat yet again i cant see anyone beating that for speed
I must admit that I will always use basic & simple gear rather than relying on items such as carabiners, or the like where possible. More gear to buy or lose.
Fan of the NiteEyes carabiners already, great to have yet another use for them!
Great video Dave! Keep bringing it.
Thank you for this! Amazing!
✅️ Another great innovation... Thanks Dave 👍👍👍👍👍
great video, if you put an extra loop on the pulling side it holds, good for us old guys, still releases easy
Excellent!!
You always have the most innovative field craft videos. I would love to hear your take on urban survival i.e., urban 10 Cs, etc. Anyway, always well done!
Oh darn. Now I have to go to Bass Pro shops during their Labor Day sale to get a few of these. Gee, thanks Dave!😂
Good idea as long as you maintain the skills needed to make a ridgeline on the spot with bare cordage. One set of skills I use the most is knot tying and rope management without relying on mechanical tensioners or devices.
Now what I’m to do with those Delrin rods I purchased! 😂. Slick stuff Big Dawg.

WOW!! New improved. I like tying knots but this us great, thanks.
Cool. Another ridge line to build, I’m getting quit a collection of them. 😊
Brilliant. Great system and thanks for sharing
Nice iteration!
Thanks Dave, that is pretty slick.
Great video!
I love that you keep improving and inventing things!
Thank you =)
thats the coolest thing I’ve seen and who know maybe u can get with that company and make some exclusives in titanium sell em in your site for a lil more strength
Outstanding!
#KeepLeading and #Learning
Looks like a good option for trying out. Thank you.

Thanks Dave, really cool!
those look like a size #2. Great idea.
Proving once again why Dave is best Bushcraft teacher out there period. Very nice Canterbury.
That is pretty slick!
That’s cool! Gonna try that!
I keep the 2nd biner up front with the other one until it's time to deploy it. Because the 2 prusiks stay on the line I take the 2nd clip off, go to the other anchor point and reattach it where it needs to be and tension the line like normal
Well done
That 'toggle' version in a video from about a year ago is quite comparable to this 'S-Biner' version - just reflecting on them.
Awesome informational video.
Nice. Pretty smooth and straight forward. I think jungle cord would be faster. That would be neat to see a comparison with this and jungle cord😁. Thanks for sharing Dave👍💯
Cool, I’ve got two of those biners and I’m going to use this!
As always excellent tip,will try this one
I like the idea of using load rated screw gate carabiners if i am packing a system i want it to be more versitile and having dedicated clips that are only good for your ridgeline or other light duty is a missed opportunity if you need somethin heavy duty some time out there in the field love the ridge like the way you hank the line back up but i would only change the clips
Very awesome tip! 👍 Sure appreciate it, brother.
