This is why I subscribe :D

[@rolomanification]

Love this method. Thanks for sharing.
Pro tip- don't do it on a sticky pine tree

[@TBcinema]

I used to take the chest and hip clips and stretch them out and wrap those around the tree. I like the amount of separation this gives you from the ground and the trunk. Super lightweight way of keeping your nice gear NICE and SAFE.
Love it. Thanks!

[@rogerparrett3242]

Why am I just now finding this channel?? *This* is what I like. Simple, quick, and right to the point. Subscribed.

[@IntenseAngler]

Welcome on board my friend :) Thank you very much for the kind words and support by the way... means alot!
All the best.... -John

[@rickcortes_7654]

It’s like a brother I haven’t seen in a while. Thanks for the video and hope to see more.

[@Oldsparkey]

The Marlin Spike hitch is a handy one for camping. I use it like you demonstrated in this video for the pack. I use about 6 feet of para cord. Use it to hang my hammock with the tree straps and whoopee slings. I also use it on the guide lines for the rain fly. It makes taking the rain fly down really easy , pull the ground steaks and the knot disappears.

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Used this yesterday and it’s great. I sure wish you still made videos.

[@stevekrewson9502]

Pretty cool. I clip onto my top loop. I always worry it will tear. I never once thought about using a stick to put under both shoulder straps! Just goes to show how people think so differently and how we can learn from each other. Thanks for the tip John. Take care.

[@erikgiggey4783]

so awesome to have you back, miss these types of vids.
that is the knot i use on my stakes for my tarp pull the stake out and pull the cord and poof knots gone

[@bond007xxx]

Excellent idea. I often do same/similar using carabiner on upper loop, but that puts a lot more stress on that nylon loop. One warning - seal all snacks/food in pack using ziplocks ...ants / spiders, etc on tree LOVE exploring such packs. Have considered using some kind of standoff (foam block? short/fat PVC pipe?) to push pack (and straps) 2" away from trunk. coat w/vaseline to reduce crawling things. also keeps rain (night?) from running down tree and soaking pack.

[@fredb.3618]

Outstanding tip. Love the simplicity of it. Thank you.

[@Yellow.Dog.]

Sweet trick, John! I like how it hangs on the straps rather than the grab handle. Will use this for BP and maybe a couple other items to tidy up camp a bit. ATB, Bill

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Bill... really appreciate that my brother! And yeah, hanging it from the straps definitely helps distribute the load of a full pack much better... and ya don't risk tearing out the lil' grab handle. ATB... -John

[@inspireAson]

Sure beats picking the pack off of the ground when it’s time to get moving again. Great tip buddy :) - Chris

[@ironbilly53]

John great having you back! can't wait to try this

[@bobbyf7151]

Hey, glad to see ya again. I climb trees, and the first knot we use is the running bowline, and the second hitch you used is pretty close to what we use to send a drink up to the climber. Instead of grabbing only one strand of rope, grap both, and you'll be able to send an open cup of coffee, water, soda...up to the climber. Give it a try

[@outbackwack368]

Excellent... again! Now I learned another knot too! Missed you here, John! Keep the faith, bro!

[@gregr501]

Great tip John! Glad to see you making videos again. I’ve used many of your tips, keep’m coming...

[@edgit69]

[@louisehiker9246]

I really like these short and sweet tip videos. Thanks John!

[@donsherman4403]

Great idea. I will definitely share this idea with the Boy Scout Troop that I work with. Thanks.

[@sosteve9113]

Works great doing this every time I camp,I get older,so I don't have to bend to much lol

Another great tip John, thanks for posting...

[@WasatchWill]

Love this tip and how it doesn't require hardware. I've rigged up something very similar in the past with paracord but also used a carabiner. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, as always. I'm gonna use this on my next trip, as it seems like a much better way to hang my pack.

[@tonyeden8381]

[@BackpackBushcraft]

Cool trick. Never seen it done that way. Gonna try that out. Thanks for the tip.

[@DifferingLikes]

Nice tip. Thank you for sharing

[@timhikes8624]

Thanks, great tip

[@thevideostump46239]

DUDE! That's awesome!! And thank for the knot reminders too!....

[@sandringall]

Great idea! I like to hang my pack off trees if there is a small nub of a broken branch, but can't always find one. If you have a heavy pack, may I suggest using webbing instead of rope. Save the trees ya know? I use that Marlin Spike Hitch to tie my hammock up. Great knot.

[@MikeySocks]

Very cool

[@KowboyUSA]

Slick trick, brother!

[@EthanDavis.w]

What I do is cut a limb to look like a hook then notch out a place for me to secure it to a tree with some rope. This looks a lot less time consuming. Thanks for another great tip man!

[@fishpony1211]

🖕to the eight ppl that hit the dislike button. This guy is a sweet heart lol

[@daveb3123]

Thanks for sharing! Use the same knot to hang my hammock but with 1in nylon webbing

[@WesFosterHere]

Love your tips and tricks. You're one cool guy.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Wes :)

[@rickmorley9948]

Nice trick, John. Have seen a similar one by The Prepared Wanderer that uses a toggle and the grab handle, but I like the marlinspike hitch and stick on the straps. Keep hem coming!

[@Love2Wander]

Hood info brother and it's good to see you back. You been missed

[@lizettesanchez1997]

Thank you for the tip. Nice to see a new video. Take care.

[@IntenseAngler]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching my friend :)

[@agnosjr]

Awesome thank you for sharing it. Best regards.

[@HikeCamp]

Great tip! I use a similar method and love it.

[@MstrRo]

Nice idea. Try a hammock tree strap for less tree abrasion.

[@Berniewojewski]

Thanks for the tip👍👍👍

[@ianfrancisledesma4431]

Nice!

[@dannyeugenewaits9486]

Nice!!!

[@JepsOutdoorAdventures]

Good tip John!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks buddy!

[@phyllismulkey3778]

great tip

[@BrosephRussell]

That is awesome

[@lalaprepper]

That's excellent

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Good different idea.

[@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists]

Great advice.. also, when you hang your pack , do you see *that white / yellow spot on the tree bark? That is PITCH.* On a warm day you will cuss yourself if you get that sticky pitch on your shoulder straps. The good news is pitch is the best fire starter in the world. When you scrape it off, just stay shallow since it is covering a wound on the tree. It also works great as a bandage when it is warmed up. Cheers!

[@DeLewrh]

Very useful, thanks!

[@rizelnc]

nice simple one buddy!

[@snaponjohn100]

That’s a great tip John. Be blessed my friend. John

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much my Brother. All the best... -John

[@williamboundey4526]

Top tip that bud 👍will use it on my next trip thanks for sharing atvb bounda!

[@ThePyleDriver]

I do a similar hang but usually use a horizontal branch so the pack doesn't touch the tree - out here (Tahoe) the pines have a lot of pitch and it gets all over the pack when it rests against the trunk. Thanks for the video!

[@ISashaI]

I'm forever looking for nails on trees at campsites, sometimes with no avail, and I'm not about to put one in. This trick will come in handy one day for sure.... just gotta practice that hitch knot a bit

[@eltenda]

good tip!

[@YankeesOutdoorAdventures]

Awesome video brother 💪👍

[@Hoonozit]

Thanks for the tip.

[@Hoonozit]

But will I still be thankful.

[@nmende00]

Amazing!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks brother... much appreciated!

[@andy_in_nh9243]

I normally girth hitch a loop of cordage with a small carabiner around the tree and hang the pack from that, but I really like the addition of the stick. I'll give it a try!

[@IntenseAngler]

Right on. Hope that addition helps my friend!

[@ponderinghiker]

AWESOME TRICK!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Will no doubt be using this during my upcoming PCT thru hike....

[@IntenseAngler]

Right on! Can't tell you how awesome it is to hear that this will come in handy for you on the PCT! Hope you have an epic time out there my friend!
