Another outstanding video Corporal, Thanks. I never thought of things along these lines and learning to produce/re-produce. I can see the necessity of having these skill sets. I truly appreciate you teaching this ole guy here new skill sets on a regular basis. Carry on good man.
I saw a vid from some German dude that made a toggle for strapping down gear. Pruned a bunch of Crepe Myrtle which will be perfect for making toggles. Going to add this guy tightener to the mix. Thanks for putting out great videos!
Wow, Brother, ten minutes ago, I’d have sworn I’ve seen every video you’ve made. But lo and behold, here is another great one I hadn’t seen. Definitely going to put this skill into action sometime soon.
Like listening to the rain on my tarp, and love making use of that time to turn wood into useful items. These just got added to the list. Thanks and Semper.
Good video, I use to do this on tent set ups. I hadn't thought of it in awhile thanks for the reminder. I have to teach knots to my scouts so I always go to the tautline hitch for this as it is a requirement for them.
Good concise instruction. I made my runners using a pice of flat hardwood with 3 holes for that extra grip. The knot was positioned on the reverse to yours. Both methods work equally well. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this useful video. I can attest to the usefulness of these easy to make "toggles." I even used one made from a yard clipping for a simple, indoor clothes line. Making sure one's knife/multi tool has an awl ensures these can be made easily just about anywhere.
CORPORAL KELLY I'M ALSO A FORMER 1971 MARINE ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE. SEMPER FI AND OO-RAH LOL ANY WAY I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR DEDICATION TO HELPING OTHERS OUT THERE TO SURVIVE IN THE REAL WORLD. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU ON EVERY VIDEO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I CAN TELL THAT YOU ARE A VERY SERIOUS PERSON.
Aww man! I was waiting for "welcome back. that was outstanding." lol. I've never seen these sliders or slips, so I'll say it: that was outstanding!! thanks for sharing!
Same here , I took many items from the Scouts wirh me into the Army and applied them in the field. Having also being raised on a country farm in a family of doers who had most all the basic skill sets and then a life in construction .........Hell , I'm still not Ready ! Making ready never ends , stay on your toes because the time is coming that these basics are going to be in full swing. " Stay alert and stay alive "
The diameter of his thumb is approx the diameter of your forearm in case you’re wondering. I’ve got a tipi I put up recently and the guys are supposed to be tied to the tent both ends, different levels to form a triangle to the ground. They’ve supplied a toggle thing on the rope. Only way I can get it to tension is to take two loops from the slip and slide thing
I was just trying to explain to two of my Buddy's how easy it is to take a decent bonewood as I call a peace of wood that size to make a tent tensioner out of and both where confused I even took two washers to try to show them that way and one said that doesn't look normal then I said it's okay because I'm normal👀 So I found your video and put that up on my TV so they would understand if they could just see it with their own eyes and comprehend the basics part of life the old ways in the old days before electricity when the Cowboys roam the land and there was gold in them hills. PS thanks for help there eyes of Education to my good friends one is an engineer the other a dentist so when I called them both dense I made them understand just because you can read and write does not make you smart lol. So why I was jabbering with them after your video I knew part of the meaning of dense but I had this feeling there was more to the detail aka definition so I had to read it to both of them, the definition is priceless⤵️. The definition of dense is people or things which are crowded together, something that is difficult to get through or someone who is slow to understand. ... An example of dense is someone who doesn't understand what "turn left" means. Believe it or not there's many more that goes to that word even the level of water in the body life is always interesting.
You always have the coolest and efficient vids, thanks man. Who are some of your favorite outdoor channels on TH-cam? I'm always looking for more, cheers.
Dave Canterbury is a good one. i believe CC is or was one of the instructors at Daves survival training school. they are both cool dudes that put out great content.
Corp this topic is worth revisiting, since I don't see you us these much anymore. It would be good to discuss why you don't use them or show some new applications of these devices. Cheers.
+1 Thanks for all that great videos! Unfortunately wild camping is a no go here in Germany [:-( I would use a figure-eight knot at the end of the line instead of the overhand knot - a bit easier to untie [:-)
I like your videos and you do a great job teaching. I like to link them for my scouts but the “AF” in the newer videos keeps me from sharing those with them.
I agree with Bacon. Maybe it should replace AF. Naw, keep both of them. I seeing your older videos just shows how long you have been focusing on skills. Thank again.
I like the idea of slicing the toggle in half - keeps things simple, clean and doubles the resources.
Coming back to this stuff is refreshing and necessary. Drilling the basics has a lot of merit. Cheers

As a trucker, i use truckers hitches every day, but ive never used them for guy lines ! What an excellent use of a great knot.

Man I really like that tension adjuster. Late to this video but the idea never ages. Thanks.

Good timing seeing this today as I was re-guying on of my shelters in prep for a trip next weekend. Thanks fella 😎👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I watched so many of your video. I don’t know what to comment anymore. I’ll only say bacon.
Good stuff. No matter how much you know, you always learn something new
Hell, we made these when we were kids, dad showed us, he uses to keep his pup-ten ropes tight during WWII.
Love your channel, always something new to learn. Semper Fi
I like your approach. So far your emphasis has been on SKILLS and not gear. Good video. Thanks.
l like this it's helped me alot thank you
How did I miss this, however it did come up on my you tube list. Nice one Shawn.
Thank you for this useful video. I can attest to the usefulness of these easy to make "toggles." I even used one made from a yard clipping for a simple, indoor clothes line. Making sure one's knife/multi tool has an awl ensures these can be made easily just about anywhere.
If you go through both holes from the same side it creates a twist in the stick and gives better tension making it more secure in high winds
Love your channel, keep up the great no BS content!
Once again I'm always learning good things from you thank you so much
Love your videos. Also, I like the runners best as they are easiest for older fingers to grip and see! Thanks
Hello from Orange County, CA. That was good to go.

Thanks for sharing again,

as always u have awesome informative vids which are very practical. thank you so much!
it's nice to review, from time to time, the classics with just pure bare knowledge 😁👍
Thanks for another informative video. I'm a "knothead" so like this stuff.
Wow that awl is much handier than I thought! Didn’t know it could drill holes through wood too
Another useful video cpl, Semper fi brother!
Aww man! I was waiting for "welcome back. that was outstanding." lol. I've never seen these sliders or slips, so I'll say it: that was outstanding!! thanks for sharing!
Great thing. Learn zu help. Thanks Colonel. KS
Thats great , I just noticed the last time i used my tent that the plastic slides where not working very well. I will incorporate this into my gear .
Very easy to understand and well explained I will be using that technique all the time good stuff brotha 🤙🏽🇺🇸
We did this in (Boy) Scouting c.60s - good to see this skill being taught and used. You cannot rely on things you forgot to bring👏👍
Same here , I took many items from the Scouts wirh me into the Army and applied them in the field. Having also being raised on a country farm in a family of doers who had most all the basic skill sets and then a life in construction .........Hell , I'm still not Ready ! Making ready never ends , stay on your toes because the time is coming that these basics are going to be in full swing. " Stay alert and stay alive "
i use those all time time. love them.
Going to try this. Outstanding A.F video my friend
Once again, very helpful video. Thanks!!
🇧🇷
Eu amo aprender com você.
Explica super bem, fica fácil de entender.
Obrigada. 🙏🇧🇷🙏
Deus abençoe sua vida 🙏🥰🙏
Brilliant......That's the way we used to do it. All the gear today has complicated things and left behind traditional knot and rope craft.
Awesome video! Keep em coming
Another great video, on to the next one. Thanks.
very good... was exploring this type of device... awesome!
Hi.from Russia! Thank you for the lesson.
hello and thanks for watching

Отличная идея! (Good idea ) 👍
cool. i just found my swiss army knife. going to give it a try.keep the coming
BRILLIANT. Thankyou.

So I found your video and put that up on my TV so they would understand if they could just see it with their own eyes and comprehend the basics part of life the old ways in the old days before electricity when the Cowboys roam the land and there was gold in them hills.

Отличная самоделка,удобно в походе и в выживагии 👍
Thanks. Damn good show wish I had seen it years ago
Good video! I learned something today! And im an avid camper
Always nice! Thanks! Man!!!
That is amazing af
Another great video!....
Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento 👏👏👏👏👏
So so so helpful! Thank you!
Love you're tips very helpful
Great vid keep up the great work. I don't know why someone would give a thumbs down to this vid?
Excellent trick sir. Thanks for sharing.
The cherry on top. 👍
Useful tips: quick & effective ..Cheers.

Nice and easy. Love it 😊
this is a great tool to teach my grandson 2 weekends comming.
thats awwsome going to make some now
Very easy solution. I am curious if these hold up a high wind situations. Thank you!
man you just rock it!!
Excellent video
Neat trick. Would this have any real value as a snare lock?
Corp this topic is worth revisiting, since I don't see you us these much anymore. It would be good to discuss why you don't use them or show some new applications of these devices. Cheers.
Really smart. Love it. BTW, this would be almost the same as doing a taut-line hitch, right? Thanks!
Excellent!
Thanks for posting this
Good ones,thanks brother,from Brasil
Enjoyed this video
Great Job!!!
Awesome AF
Kelly, I would go for three holes instead of two. In my opinion, is more reliable and hold better any additional tension
Do you ever dig small trenches around the bottom edge of your shelter for ridding excess runoff from the rain?
Good to go. Nice LC-1
Cool info!
+1 Thanks for all that great videos! Unfortunately wild camping is a no go here in Germany [:-( I would use a figure-eight knot at the end of the line instead of the overhand knot - a bit easier to untie [:-)
Un saludo desde España. Buen video
Good idea
Best of luck
Thanks
Like it very much, gona try it.
10 out of 10 👍
Thx from Denmark
As always brother OUTSTANDING! Would it be okay with you to spotlight this in my channel? I will of course put your channel in the description box!
What length do you cut your para cord to create your guy lines? It looks like you're cutting to a length of 6 to 10 feet.
Wow, 4 years ago, back when corporal posted useful and practical info....
I like your videos and you do a great job teaching. I like to link them for my scouts but the “AF” in the newer videos keeps me from sharing those with them.
Brawo nice video👍
Would the cork screw work to make the holes as well?
Or put a toggle on both ends and feed the loop through the grommet and back around the toggle. Other end can go around a tree or stake.
Це дуже важливо, молодець,я багато навчився
I agree with Bacon. Maybe it should replace AF. Naw, keep both of them. I seeing your older videos just shows how long you have been focusing on skills. Thank again.
Thank you very much!,
Nice what are the small loops for that come tied to the stakes ?
Badass!!!!
