This is awesome, I gotta work on my knots and ridgeline deployment... I also carry 6 plastic stakes in my pack... I bought 2 of those S biners...they just kinda float around with my keys and a extra flashlight ... Now i know what to do with em!!....😂 🌲 ⛺ 🌲🎉
I really like this never ending process of improvement and experimentation. Excellent video. This was amazing. Rest assured, I will be practicing this!
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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 ^_^💗👍🏾🙏🏾
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
@DavidCanterbury First of all I wanted to say thank you for all the knowledge you make available to everyone. I am located in Europe and cannot follow your courses in person but I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you! Second, I grew to like your previous ridgeline deployment system, the one with the toggles. I got some sbiners and gave this new one a try but I seem to find the toggle-based one faster? What would you say are the advantages of the sbiner one over the toggle based one?
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 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.
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
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
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👍💯
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.
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.
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
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
Thx man and keep going...maybe we get a Spraycan of "insta-ridge-line" soon :-) (I think its importan to keep the Rope only ridge Line in memory as a Fall Back. Because on Campingsites i Help a lot, and im Happy they Bring at least a Rope ;-)
Smart! A Little thicker stronger carabiner would be a great upgrade but i have never came across that perfect size yet. Mostly plastic junk. My under quilt will get those stainless steel upgrade.
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.
Outstanding. Would it make sense to have the S-Biner at the side of the tree pulling tight, parallel with the biner instead of at a right angle in front of tree? BTW, I went to Menards and found the Nite Ize #3 S-Biner at the key machine. The only had the 25lb for $4.95 each, but I just couldn't wait to try this out.
I have recreated this and I do find it fast. Though I would say the only flaw is the small s-beners. This is a problem in winter weather wearing gloves. Maybe larger s-beners could be used. Will test. Still like it though.

Dave Canterbury deploys a ridgeline as fast as possible and I watch his new videos as fast as possible.
Kudos to you Mr. Dave... you're always getting outside of the box with a new take on old ways. The very reason I keep watching!
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.
man this guy is always coming up with ways to improve the ridgeline, goodjob.
Any content from you, I appreciate it. Thank you for all the knowledge you have passed down in your channel.
I like that. Makes setting up a shelter with cold hands even easier...
Strong wind? rain? thunderstorm? getting dark? long day - getting cranky? yep, that will work just fine!
Always innovating and refining.
How can you not respect and admire the man.
Great work.hats off to Dave Canterbury R&D.
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.
🔆
I'm shocked, I really expected them to bend. That's so cool!
As soon as I get Dave's last one, he updates!
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.
This is awesome, I gotta work on my knots and ridgeline deployment... I also carry 6 plastic stakes in my pack...
I bought 2 of those S biners...they just kinda float around with my keys and a extra flashlight ...
Now i know what to do with em!!....😂
🌲 ⛺ 🌲🎉
Awesome idea!🤗🤗🤗 That proves that the human mind gives tools their true value.😎
Let us keep our minds sharp!😊
Awesome development on your skillset - sharing it is humbling.
Picked up a couple of these mini S-Biner thingies because of this video. Thanks Dave. 👍
Amazing to see an improvement on a timeless design, bravo!
Love your rapid ridge line episodes. Living and camping in SE Texas, getting a tarp up quickly is a necessity for sudden storms.
I really like this never ending process of improvement and experimentation. Excellent video. This was amazing. Rest assured, I will be practicing this!
Also your basic course bind craft and knots changed my outdoor game forever!
That is very cool, Dave. Thanks for showing it to us.

Dang Dave! You are one innovative sucka.. Reminds me of when Cody was eating bugs, and you were eating alligator. Thanks Davis!

Dave is obsessed with ridge lines. Before he dies, I suspect we will see a hands free 3 second set up.
Dang. I have a bunch of those just chillin in my desk. Sweet!!
!Splendid! I would call that a most effective and innovative use of the Munter Hitch principle. Thanks!
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.

Pretty cool. Love how fast and simple that is.
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!😂
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!

Great little system for a quick deployment.
Great to see your still improving it.
I guess it wont be the last iteration of your quick deploy ridgeline 😁
brilliant that is talk about fast well done dave you pulled out the hat yet again i cant see anyone beating that for speed
You are no doubt the man . Thank you brother.
Fan of the NiteEyes carabiners already, great to have yet another use for them!
I can see your excitement Dave and its awesome!!!
Sweet! I will be adopting that method. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Depending on your tarp you can use the spare beeners on your pressics for quick attach/detach to the tarp as well.
Awesome evolution of the rapid deploy ridge line! Appreciate the content.
Now what I’m to do with those Delrin rods I purchased! 😂. Slick stuff Big Dawg.
Damn that is smooth and simple
great video, if you put an extra loop on the pulling side it holds, good for us old guys, still releases easy
Absolutely great find wtg Dave
Cool. Another ridge line to build, I’m getting quit a collection of them. 😊

That 'toggle' version in a video from about a year ago is quite comparable to this 'S-Biner' version - just reflecting on them.

BTW, I went to Menards and found the Nite Ize #3 S-Biner at the key machine. The only had the 25lb for $4.95 each, but I just couldn't wait to try this out.
I found a way to make a DIY loop game keeper that I think you would really like. Simple yet effective!!! More than happy to share!
Thanks Dave
