    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    Well when someone tries to tell me the Evenk knot can be easily tied with one hand, and just as easily as my new Tarp Knot, then you have to question their sanity...;)

    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    I did not mean to say "tow"....Listen again...At 1:56 I correct myself by saying "or pull", which is what I meant to say...Or perhaps you can't understand my Middlesaxon accent? But in any case, I have used it to pull or tow my car before, by hand! In light of my previous sentence, that will...

    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    And if you listened you would have heard me correct myself at 1:56 to say "or pull", which is what I meant to say. So it seems I was correct in assuming you have a closed mind and are too old to learn new tricks! My father never taught me any knots, I learned them myself and now invent my...

    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    The problem with the evenk knot/siberian hitch is that needs two hands to tie it and requires rediculously gymnastic hand movements as well...Its far too complicated for the job! I have invented a far simpler knot, I call simply "the Tarp Knot", which is so easy to tie it can even be tied with...

    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    You should always use a ridgeline for a Tarp or you can damage the Tarp! The Tarp should be hung underneath the taut ridgeline via the 3 loops provided (assuming of course that your using an army Basha Tarp), and tensioned via 1.5mm comms cord prussic knots from the end loops to the ridgeline...

    Knots for tightening Tarp Ridgerope

    Hi all, the last couple of days I have been busy making new types of knots, because most of the old ones dont meet my needs. You see I only use knots that are quick and easy to tie, but even more importantly, that are quick and easy to untie (quick release), even after being heavily loaded. I...
