I like the Siberian hitch. I think I'll starting using that instead of a bowline and a loop. -- I didn't like the tension knot, as it seems that you lose a lot of the ridgeline tension while dressing the lock knot. I prefer a loop on a bight in the standing end before the second pole and to tension the working end around the pole using that loop. And then tying it off with a pegged trucker's hitch, and a half hitch. -- Love seeing how others do these things though. Cool video.

Just tried the siberian knot recently on a windy trail and I must say, it worked pretty well, until the tarp was hit head-on with a violent wind. At first the tarp was only shaking so much, but after all the pulls, pushes, and violent shake-downs, the knot got loose somehow and there go my tarp. I would recommend using a small twig or a tent stake as a toggle for the bight.

Does anyone remember the -Boy Scout- name for that third knot? Anyway, thanks for producing this. It's been almost 50 years since my scouting days, and I needed a quick refresher. This vid was really helpful and showed very clearly how to tie that knot.
I needed to safely take down two trees, and I used this to put some guiding tension on the trees. Thanks again!

really appreciate the effort you guys made to create this small video. Really nicely explained through the video and commentary. After struggling to learn from other videos and finally reaching this video, I have now learnt 3 useful knotts thanks to AdventureArchives to use on future adventures: )

Well done video, keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing more.
These are three knots I've seen others use in tarp/hammock review videos, but they were talking about different things and not showing how they tie them. Now I know. thank you.
