ONE KNOT Ridgeline

You need : 50’ (15m) of 550 or ‘Paracord’, and for any shelter it’s best to have at least 4 stakes on you. (More can be made in the field if needed)

This is what I came up with for the simplest way to tie a ridgeline and I don’t think this is just a beginner thing either sometimes simplicity is satisfying.

Understand the half hitch and how it is a building block of knots, I believe is the basis of a solid foundation for learning knots in the future.

This is a basic Harbor Freight tarp in this video, with some stakes I actually made at home from 1/4” steel rod, and just some regular old 550 cord.

I’ll be doing more advanced videos on ridglines and knot tying in the future so keep coming back!
