Superb tip...thank you...I did this recommended mod to my suolo....took it out for the first time last night and lo and behold at 2 of the 6 tie out points I was unable to get the tenet pegs into the ground, but by using the extenders it worked a treat....many thanks
That's great to hear that you've had some success as a result of this simple but effective tip Ross. Please consider subscribing if you'd like to see more for my channel in the future.
Great tip, I just larks footed the plastic line lock direct to the existing Hilleburg tie down point, shortens the whole assembly and you can still use it to peg out should you wish

@@radundzelt hi thanks for the ask, the same as featured in the vid, it looks quite tidy and you can still use the original tie down point with a tent peg as there is no metal to plastic contact
Hi Craig, I usually find myself in the high Sierras where the only ground is solid granite. Or deep snow. I rarely even bother to carry tent pegs anymore. All of my tie out loops have a permanent meter or so of paracord hanging off of them. A tautline hitch makes a knot that easily replaces the linelocks and the cord is looped around any rock or deadman anchor that is handy. Great video though! :) Take care and all the best from California 🧡

Great idea. This will also work on many other tent models of course. I have a Fjällräven Abisko Endurance that this also will be useful to. I will prepare a couple of these to attach on wherever sleve that needs to be extended before my next trip.
I'm glad you found the idea useful, do let me know how you get on once you've made the modification yourself. Please consider subscribing if you'd like to see more from my channel in the future.
I've never actually owned tents that have their own poles. Always used trekking pole tents. I always wondered how you got the fly taught om tents like this. Inner first tents are easy to get nice and taught but fly first tents are much more tricky

Thanks for sharing! You could also use a taut line hitch knot on your tensioning line instead of the plastic line lock thing. So you save weight and money!

Does she say why not? I've been pushing pegs in with my boots (where necessary) for ~30 years so I'm interested in hearing the rationale behind her warning. Glad you found the mod interesting, have a great weekend 👍
@@TheBushcraftPadawan It’s because the tent peg if it suddenly and unexpectedly hits an immovable object could penetrate the sole and thus into your foot, or bend the peg thus rendering it useless. That could be a disastrous consequence.👍🏻 ruclips.net/video/ObFD1VGJKHw/видео.html
@@TheBushcraftPadawan Hi, The thing is, you dont get the right pressure from the stakes to the tent. And in moderat to heavy winds, wind will get under the tent aswell. I have now 5 different hilleberg tents. I used to work there in Sweden. Its a reason for why the tent is made like it is. And it is sturdiness, and making those adjustments will not be a big problem. But in heavy storms( that is kinda what this tent is made for) i advice not to use those adjustments. But it will be fine in most i guess :) Its great for easier «perfect tent setup» i agree. A smart «hack» but people should know its not a great idea in real storms or heavy winds. Best regards
In extreme conditions when you can't get pegs in at the pegging points..... Then surely this technique is better than no peg or moving your tent when you can't peg in one peg. Well that's what the Vulcan in me thinks.
What mods/hacks have you made to your own tent(s) and why?
Great mod where can you get the linelocs

Or the similar Farrimond friction hitch, which I've found to hold a bit better.

I need to point out that in extreme conditions, this is not something that it is adviced to do. This does weaken the tent quite a bit.
Explain your statement please.

@@mrkimgustafsson2838 don't understand that at all. More tension is better.
