The ball is a good idea but just a prusik knot from a small piece of cordage is needed to make a drip line. Keep up the great work!!
Just about to say Prusik knot
@Maxwell Zaire Good for you!! Know I have reported you to RUclips for removal!! Bye Bye!!
What a brilliant tip with the squash ball thanks another good tip for me cheers
Them squash balls a very good idea 💡 thanks for sharing 👍 good video by the way
Thanks for the #6 tip. 👍
That was bloody clever mate...I solved the dripping water problem another way but your ball trick is way cooler. Thanks again mate.
Great tip.
That is an excellent idea
What a great little tip, cheers 😏👍
Like the squash ball idea Neil, I use a little bit of cord knotted over as a drip line, but I think I'll adopt your squash ball. Pete
I really like the squash ball idea.
Good tip! Reminds me of my kayak paddles' water-stopper flanges. Thanks, Neil!
Great tip and also multipurpose. If needed, fill both halves with sand/small rocks, create stop knot on one opening, seal with quick duct tape and you have a small heaving line. Maybe to hang a bag or whatever. Keep those tips coming and stay safe during the lock down.
Another excellent little video Neil, thank you.
Good idea. However, for less bulk a small bit of paracord larks headed to the ridgeline forms a good drip line to achieve same thing.
The Squash Ball idea is awesome. Love it. Thx for sharing Neil. Stay safe. Cheers, Mike
Thanks Mike. I can't take the credit for the idea, as I learnt it from a squaddie (my brother)years ago.
I hope you are well buddy .
A stuffsack on each end of my pod acts as both rain gaiter and storage for boots etc.
Great tip Neil, looking forward to more. Stay safe.
Grand idea mate, cheers.
Think I'll re-purpose one of the dog's mini tennis balls! Currently reading Kochanski's book too :)
Really good tip , but knot necessary because a small loop knot on either side will be just as effective in stopping water run if you forget your squishy ball . But great idea none the less
Nice one Neil, so simple, even if it is just a load of balls !!
Good idea .. thanks 👍.
Really good.Nice job.😊🤗😅
Good idea with the extra rope. Thank you!
For water stopping you can too make some stopper knots on the rope.
New sub here,,,, I've watched a few videos now,, I've always learned something new :-),,,
Great idea! Thanks Neil, ATB Sam Adler
Hello Sam....have you found that cap yet?
Be safe Neil. I heard about your lock down over here in the States. Our cases are spiking too but no lock downs yet.
They will come I'm afraid David. Thanks for commenting, keep yourself safe mate.
That’s only because you have an idiot for a president, hopefully to be an ex president soon!
Wouldn't a small toggle work the same and be a more natural, less bulky, bushcraft alternative to the rubber squash ball?
Not knocking the tip, good idea, just interested in your toggles
Slick tip Neil. One question. You Brits all seem to run your ridgeline above your tarp and we North Americans run them under. Pros, cons of each?
Nate
Now, I don't have a suspension line over the top or hang it over a line. I prefer toggle sets ( see an earlier video). Ray Mears hung his basha (tarp) in this way and so folks followed what he did. Those of us who had been using them for years already, usually set them up with bungees , which made for a quick and efficient set up. The down side was they were heavy, so I replaced mine with cords , toggles and hitches.
Over on your side of the pond, the influences seem to be pathfinder school and Mike somebody (Pacific Northwest Bushcraft - i think).
Both ways use more cord than they need to. The brit way , I think was from jungle use and was meant to protect you from "widow-makers", tho I think 550 cord tied between two trees won't offer that much protection.
@@greencraft4783 Thanks Neil
Continuing the Mors theme, this is a great way to Hank cord:
