Thanks SKILEGAPCANADA, I wanted Selika to post the weight of hers. It appears she has a Genuine Issue w/ Nylon Handles that can be used as emergency stretcher. I have noticed on internet pages the Genuine Basha w/ handles weighs in at 1200grams and like to get the real weight confirmed by Selika. Again thanks for taking the time to post :0).

The knot through the loop idear is great, but I would still back it up with a carabiner just incase.

Love the idea with the knotted tension lines! 5 starz and a subscription. Thanks for the video.

Great tips, thank you. I have a camo gortex bivy but it gets a little claustrophobic on rainy nights when I can’t stick my head out as easily, using a small tarp like this helps out.

Wow almost no need for bungee cord.

Nice I have never seen that

Great technique. The loops made by the knots are actually forming a “purchase” or simple tackle. It useful for creating tension (acts as a pulley), and as you demonstrated, locking the system in place. Great demonstration.
