Great system for those don’t want to learn knot tying.

Love jungle knots, all modular; if you need a longer cord, add one on, simples! Takes all the hassle out of trying to tie a “double hard drive you round the bend”, in the lashing rain when you are totally chin- strapped!
In terms of cord management, cheapest, easiest, least faffiest way I have found is to wrap the cords around your hand, or ‘hank’ across your palm from thumb to pinky in a figure of eight and wrap an elastic hairband around the bundle. £1 in Poundland et al. gets plenty and in a selection of mute colours, or bright if that’s your thing!
If you are clever you can larks foot (/head/cow hitch) one to the end of each of your lines. Take up no extra space or weight and can be very easily replaced.

I prefer to use prusiks on the ridgeline mainly because I don't like pointy sticks around eye height.

Might be used with my cheapo Lidl poncho !

Intriguing system for setting up a ridge line. I've seen so many different ways to run a ridge line of late that it boggles my mind (only slightly 😉). I believe of the lot, your system and that of a fellow in Australia are the most interesting systems. The gent in Australia uses a line without any loops whatsoever tied in it. He uses a timber hitch at one end, pulls the line tight and then uses the trunk of the tree like a pulley to tension the ridgeline and then wraps the free end of the line around the taught ridge line and back around the tree before tying it off with a half hitch or two to the ridge line. For his tarp tie outs he again uses a piece of line w/o knots or loops and attaches one end to his tarp loop with a sheet bend and then ties a taughtline hitch in the other end around his ridgeline. If using lines at the corners just repeat the sheet bend and taighline hitch. Admittedly, his system is more labor intensive and requires a knowledge of hitches and knots that most folks don't take the time to learn or utilize, but I enjoy learning about hitches and knots and using them. But his system is hard on the tree by the appearance of the tree used for his demonstration in his video clip. Poor tree, if it were living, looked as though it was on the verge of being girdled from repeatedly being used. Your system seems to be much more tree friendly. 🙂 All the best Neil, I enjoy your content.

Thanks Neil another informative video 👍

[kurtsteiner]

Very good niel.
Im making a jungle toggle rope out of parachord, it will probable be 30 ft long time ive finished it. Good idea niel well done.

[johnnyyukon]

Pretty slick set up, one I think I'll incorperate. Thaks

[andersholmstrom]

What if the ridgeline is not taught exactly at the position of one of the knots?
As the paracord is not stretchy I assume that the line could be a bit loose at one knot and that you will not be able to pull trogh the next knot.

Fast & Simple ! Great . TAKE CARE..

[deanoboland]

Great work on your video, watching another video you did on Bluetti EB70 I ended up purchasing one.

[CeriMullins-nqmc]

Thanks for the video Neil. I combined the jungle toggles with my tarp in a tip from coal cracker bushcraft. As I usually set up a tarp in the lean to config I attached two jungle toggles one at two corners. Then I wrap around a tree, thread and walk backwards towards the second tree pulling my tarp from it's bag as I go. Once the other toggle is wrapped and threaded, and I pull the tarp taught and stake out I'm done, all in less than two minutes. I hope this is of interest to someone as it will work no matter the set up used.

Love this, that’s my Friday taken up before I go out in the woods over the weekend. Many thanks for sharing 👍

[bernardhorlock]

going out soon and look forward to trying it out.

[petualangchanelrohul-gjfu]

Very interesting guys. Greetings from Indonesia

[lifeoutdoorsneil]

I do use toggles but mainly just to secure a hitch. I may make myself some and give them a try.

[Mike-krys]

Ah! Much clearer now. Thank you for the detailed how-to! A useful setup indeed.

[MarkoWilco]

Thanks for this - very helpful as per usual.
