    Seems simple, making tent pegs.. But a lot of small important details can make or break the experience of natural tent pegs. Best video on this I've seen yet.

    Tied down a piece of bright-colored paracord to each peg.
    Makes it easier to pull out. Never lost one since.

    For an even more disposable set of pegs, saw the rod through on a steep angle, and you’ve already created the point. Then, after carving the notch, baton through the peg, making sure you divide the notch in half, you now have two pegs.

    Great video :) I've just got myself a tarp and a load of paracord, how long should I make the guide lines? It's 5x4m if that makes any difference (yes I may have overdone it, lol).

    Good tutorial Nick but the cross cut/birds beak would normally be used for pot/kettle hangers, your first cut is all that's needed for tent pegs, always remember KISS 👌🏻

    • @Naturecraft645
      @Naturecraft645 4 года назад +1

      Removing some extra material under the notch can help create a "trap" for the line you tie to it so you're guaranteed to not have it come loose from the peg.. It also has the benefit of changing the angle of where the line connects and the pull of the line is going, making it more aligned.

    Brilliant lesson. Perhaps too many close up shots of your face while showing where the knife goes?
    Photogenic as you clearly are...it would be better to see longer shots of you working and not so many close ups. But, still and excellent and very helpful video. I am making a hazel staff/walking stick at the moment and I am glad to hear about the benefits of removing the bark. I wanted to do so but wondered if it would in fact be a negative. Clearly not! Thank You.

    Good explanation! But the camera work done here is a bit on the less enjoyable side. Would love to see more of the action and less talking head. Feels like its shot on a telescopic lense as well and everything is just a litttle to close up for my liking ;D

    waste of time. Pick a set of Swisspirahna pegs for about15 USD. They make sets for different Tentmaker and that includes Hilleberg. The pegs save 80% of the original Hilleberg pegs. And they have Swiss Army experience with Snow and Sand anker.

      Personally, I wouldn’t have been quite so rude about it…….but……..!🤣. When techniques are being shown, the camera should be on the thing being done, not on the instructor’s face, you get a quick flash of the cutting, not quite long enough to see exactly how it’s done, then back on the talking face- actually quite annoying! I do like your teaching though, plenty details and explanations, plus the knowledge that you have the life experience to know what you are talking about.
