BUSHCRAFT TOGGLE Rope (re-visit) - the BEST bit of bushcraft gear you haven't got (YET!)

Ideas develop & improve and this is a revisit on one of my early “simple stick projects”.
This one takes the original idea and turns it into something even more useful and versatile, and the best bit is it uses materials you are already carrying (so you will not be carrying anything extra!).
The bit of kit you will be making is super useful and you will want to take it on all you bushcraft adventures from now on.
Enjoy

Can't believe Ive never seen this in 22years of service. Bungees were the order of the day; but this thing has so much uses. Thank you sir for enlightening me at the grand old age of 55. I really wish I'd seen this sooner.

[swiftlee]

that's absolutely great wish i knew this when i was serving 👍

[GarySheren]

This is just what I am looking for, it's better then a ridge line this does everything and more thanks for your knowledge Neal .

I see no need to cut your 50ft of paracord in two for this project or to cut grooves in the toggle.
Drill a hole through the centre of the toggle, form a bend in the centre of the paracord, pass this bend through the hole in the toggle, then secure it with a Larks Head knot.
Should the toggle ever break, you can easily remove the paracord and attach it to a new toggle just by loosening the Larks Head and threading all the cord back through. This way, no knots need to be untied.
Should you ever find yourself in a situation requiring a long length of paracord (and assuming you can get all the knots untied), you still have an unbroken, 50ft length of it at your disposal.
Food for thought?

New viewer, new subscriber!
As a Ex Royal Engineer we used toggle ropes all the time, but never like this, you have literally opened my eyes to new uses, thanks.
I'll be off to my reunion this weekend, but will be tying these toggle ropes up afterwards for my next weekender. Great job 👍

Back in the 70's my grandfather showed me the double twist "rope" using string and old duffle coat toggles. I adapted this using window sash cord, loops and stick toggles. In the 80's this evolved into white 550 cord (reclaimed from parachutes) and duffle toggles. As I'm useless at remembering taughtline, truckers, evenk hitches etc, I still use this method. Good vid. Thanks.

I may well have to make this toggle project, Neil. I have some spare hanks of 550.
Good to see you earlier.

Thanks mate, from Gunnery Sergeant U.S. Marine Corps (Retired). North Georgia.

[biranit]

for hanging a pot over fire i suggest replacing the 550 paracord with a kevlar cord that is very heat resistant

[oldblackford]

That's a great idea, I'm going to make one for my camping kit, even tho I have military experience I've never heard of it

[codysden]

It is midnight here in Arkansas, Central U. S. In the morning I am doing this project with 550 cord and 36

[danielcharbonneau]

Good idea, I may have to try this system out.

[cordellkent]

Neil, I have come back to this post so many times and will be making this ridge line. Thank you so much for sharing, teaching and posting your videos.

[francescachiappa]

Thanks for the video! I like how you explain, first with words then with pictures, so even I who don't speak English well can understand. Thanks again!

[outdoor]

👌love these kind of quality of life improvements👌

Ya I noticed this line in a couple of your videos. I made one of these after watching your other videos on the jungle cords & toggle line. My prototype isn’t as long as it should be but I was just testing to see how useful it would be. One thing I like about YouTube is you’ve given me a few more ideas for using it. 🇨🇦

[thefucrew]

Thank you for your previous video on this project !!!
It made me think, and use the micro cord, and bank line.

[lumikkihusu]

Thank you so much! I was looking for ideas for using hand-made linden bark rope. This is perfect! Now just to splice the bark into a suitable width and length... Maybe not as quick to make as your paracord version. :)

[johnwyman]

Dam Good info!! Thanks for sharing your idea . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

[richgarcia]

Thanks great, I’m a city slicker all new to me
