Good video. You can make this simpler. The Google does not need too fit through the grommet. The toggle can use just a v cut all around and no hole. You put your string through the grommet then tie it around the toggle. Just a stick with a v cut. Saving time and energy.
Somehow RUclips recommended this video and thus I watched it. So glad I did, you are entertaining (‘I forgot to hit record’, ‘too much coffee’, etc.) yet informative. I don’t camp or spend much time in the woods (tough to find woods in Southern Arizona) but I am definitely going to make some toggles today just for fun (and to brag about all the knowledge I’ve learned from you). I am off to watch more of your videos (and subscribe). Thank you for being real!!
“A” for content … simple, straightforward. “A+” for lighting! Every presenter on RUclips should use your stage lighting. Post what kind of lighting and how far away it was from you. Well done!
In plaats van een kurk uit een fles weg te werpen maak ik er soms een Toggle van, dat is natuurlijk niet sterk genoeg maar ik maak dat dan sterker achteraf met zo'n lijmpistool
Thanks. I think a Swiss Army knife was my first knife. Some people don’t like them, but I am a fan. For the price point the Mora Companion is hands down the best knife.
great stuff, nicely done. So under-rated having a few toggles handy, weigh nothing and it's odd how hard it can be to find something suitable when you need it. Good luck with your channel, I know how much work you have to put in to get these uploaded-nearly at 1,000 subs, all the best from subscriber #882 🇺🇸🇦🇺✌🏻
If you learn to tie a Spanish or Portuguese Bowlin and leave a tag line on it you almost completely eliminate the need for a toggle all together. Except of course to lift your canteen if your using one of those...😅
Pard,Semper Fi,Real Quick does that Canteen fit in a LC2 A Alice Gear Canteen Pouch? I take it that's a Self Reliance St. Steel Canteen.Pard our 782 Deuce Gear,we had in the Corp,with our Butt Packs is to me Still the most Timeless way to Carry Enough Stuff for a Weekend in Good Weather ,Throw in our Alice Pack and Now good for a Solid Week even in Oct/ Nov.Conditions here in Wyoming.
I think it fits into the old 782 gear. It’s the same shape. I have used the canteen stove for my metal and plastic one. Yes it’s a self reliance steel canteen. But shop around, there are some less expensive options
@brokenbushcraft Just tie a loop in the cord/line. Put loop through grommet. Insert stick through loop. You could also double the loop over itself before Inserting stick. Probably better. You then have double cord through grommet. Easier on grommet, tarp,etc. And the stick. Numerous variations, but this is basic, simple, easy, uncomplicated method. Hope my explanation was more clear than muddy. If not you have my apology.
"If you don't know a knot, tie a lot." Hahahaha, that's great.
I forget who told me that. But it has stuck with me.
Love the video - thanks for sharing!!
I am glad you enjoyed it, thank you for commenting.

Thanks. That’s a great point. Simple is always better.
we also use a toggle to tighten wraps & fraps, just without a center hole to maintain strength
Great point. I should’ve made a point that the center hole is nice, but not necessary.
Good idea on making toggles from fatwood.
Thanks. I like items to serve more than one purpose.
Yup, you've got your toggles, plus you've got your fatwood. Pretty clever!
Thanks. I like things to have multiple purposes
😊nice use for the fatwood😊
Thanks. I like items to have multiple uses. Plus the more fire starters I have the better my chances of making a fire are
over camp fire i suggest using a kevlar cord which is heat resistant
That’s a good idea. I use bankline and 550 cord because it’s cheap and easily obtained.
And, in the process of whittling the toggle, you create a very nice supply of kindling and tinder. Bonus!
I love the smell of fatwood. I sweep it all up and have it in my kit.

After you make your toggles let me know how it went. Glad the algorithm is working for me
I noticed you had some difficulty feeding the toggle through the grommet. Maybe just feed the cord through the grommet.
I was using a bigger toggle. I wanted to show that is can go through. But you’re right, smarter not harder

Thanks for the compliment. It’s just natural lighting with some over head lights. I bought an adjustable LED light, but haven’t used it yet.
Great video! I can’t wait to try this out. Thank you for sharing.
Let me know how it goes. I think a bandaid would also work
@@brokenbushcraft I used the toggles with success on 2 different projects.
They really do come in handy.

That’s a great idea. Plus you can use it as a bobber. I am going to give that a try.
Two winning tools to have. the Mora & the Swiss Army...You'll never regret your investment!

Thanks for the kind words. My favorite part about making toggles is just getting lost in the process.
Handle for my lawn mower thanks!
That’s hilarious.

I usually just throw a half hitch with a stop knot and go about my day. I have made the ouch mistake punching a hole so many times.

…plus, save those fat wood shavings
Absolutely!
Not the best way.
In your opinion, what is the best way? What do you do differently?
@brokenbushcraft Just tie a loop in the cord/line. Put loop through grommet. Insert stick through loop. You could also double the loop over itself before Inserting stick. Probably better.

That is absolutely clear. That is also a good tip. Another way is a half hitch with stop knot, that is another quick way.
