One of the things I appreciate most about your channel is the continuity. You've talked about it, interviewed the man and discussed about it and now you're showing us how. I definitely want more of this more advanced stuff!
Can’t hit that Like button hard enough on this one, Blackie! Haven’t seen a tarp deploy like this on the YTubes ever. You shared a unique efficient knowledge and it’s very much appreciated!
I haven’t even tried this yet but I think I’ve found my new favourite way to store & deploy my tarp. I’ve been playing with a jungle knot cord & toggle for my Poncho setup & like that method, but for my tarp this is great. Thanks Blackie 👍
great content, love how thorough you are in the video and how you say which knots you're using as you go. really gets you thinking as to how you can do it with other configurations, such as a quick deploy for a tent-type tarp shelter (the name is escaping me) on the ground. and i definitely second the comment about a quick pack up version. I've been thinking about what shelters would be fastest to pack away for the last week and the closest I've come up with is the bivy where everything is already nested inside each other and you roll it up, stuff it in a sack. having the tarp do that as well would be fantastic. adding the 2 packing systems together would be ideal. 1 to throw together when you have pack up time, then 1 to break down and move on when you don't. I'd hate to have to leave my primary shelter behind if i get chased out of camp for whatever reason.
Mighty fine ridge line. Interesting configuration of the tarp and Ridge line. I don't typically like to have my ridge line pre attached to my tarp because camp location can dictate shelter configuration. I can, however, see where that would have advantages under certain circumstances. Thanks for the great video.
I love it, it's brilliant. I don't think it even takes that long to fold away compared to what I would do otherwise. Fast deploy tarp on a fast deploy ridgeline - I'm sold!
Hey Blackie, I know I’m a little late to the party on this video. If you had an old-fashioned round style clothes pin, you could put that in place on your marlinspike hitch with the open end of the clothes pin facing up. Then you could take your stuff sack and hook a tie off cord of that around the clothes pin, then it wouldn’t fall in the mud until after you had everything secured with your truckers hitch. 👍 another great video!
That’s a great way to deploy a tarp in A frame configuration without a hammock. I use a snakeskin for tarp over hammock and keep the guy-lines attached to the tarp.
Blackie, Great Video Tip and Trick on quick deployment on a trap . Thanks for sharing this information. I Greatly Appreciate You Sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and Experience and making it easier, and thinking outside of the box. Yes You Are The Master Woodsman and Bushcrafter. We go to the woods and field to enjoy and relax. Tim L.
Gall Dang , Man . I ignored this video a little ways back and Holy Shee Eye Tee if that ain't but just one cool motherhubbard trick . I'm gonna immediatley reconfigure my tarps . Thank you Blackie .
Hey Blackie- I can see this working well and fast as you mentioned. Ive not tried this yet as I normally will take about 3-4 feet of bankline and put thru the 4 corner grommets so I can just tie a larkshead at the tent stakes. Im going to try this one out now. Thanks Blackie. You and yours be safe-
@@BLACKIETHOMAS thank you sir for sharing your woodcraft experiences and wisdom. My tarp is by far, the heaviest piece of my kit. It outweighs the rest of my backpack and its contents but, this is by design. I first saw the quick deploy ridgeline a couple of years ago via Shawn Kelly's channel before finding yours and I keep a 25ft, (black) and a 100ft (yellow) paracord version with 4 preloaded prussic loops. I have a 100ft long section of 1500lb test mule tape that will be yet another. That setup has proven to be a time saver. Your modification, will save me more time setting up but more importantly, it will save the frustration fighting with the tarp. Also, I will definitely use the bonus of pre wrapping tent stakes! Finally, this story shared a lesson many will miss...we learn more from sitting down, being quiet and being observant. Peace and God bless.

OMG, Blackie thanks, now I can pleat my great kilt without dragging through the wet leaves and mud! A ridge line at waste level, no muss, no fuss

That’s a great way to deploy a tarp in A frame configuration without a hammock. I use a snakeskin for tarp over hammock and keep the guy-lines attached to the tarp.
Sounds great!

From the looks of it even packing with that setup seems to be less of a hassle than folding the tarp.
i find once you get in the habit of doing it this was it will speed up packing as well
Great tip Blackie, if I didn't already use snakeskins for my tarps, I would definitely use that technique!!
Thanks 👍
Great technique

Great video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

Bowline and rollin’ 😄
I have learned most of my skills from the older vets that spent many a nights in the bush.
Great source of real world down n dirty knowledge
Appreciate the knowledge Blackie
glad to do it
Nice!
Thanks!
This saves so much time setting up
yes it does
Great information
Glad you think so!
I'm gonna have to watch this a few more times to let it sink in. This would be great if you needed to set up a tarp for when rain comes in fast.
Game changer!
awesome
