For a more bushcraft feel and if you dont have the rings with you, you can also use a couple of hardwood sticks that are one inch in diameter and about 6-8 inches long. Do the same wrap that you did on the ring, but around the stick. Thanks for another good video Dave.
Dave I love all your bush craft stuff especially the stuff on the cheap. my most preferred method of sleeping in the woods is a hammock and this method here is so awesome to do on the cheap and versatility makes this one of my most favorite vids you have ever done. I thank God for your ingenuity. be blessed.
Hey Dave, thank you for all the knowledge you've passed on to me. This oilcloth hammock is very practical and quick to set up. Love watching your videos, man. I subbed you long ago and have never regretted it. You never disappoint. Good work, brother. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Again, thanks.
Hi Dave. I have been watching a lot of your videos of late, and enjoy them. I am envious that you have access to all that bushcraft equipment. We cannot get that much here in Australia. You are certainly giving me food for thought. Would like to get my hands on the double hammock (that you can put a sleeping mat in) and the net and cover. Have been looking at all the preppers vids as well. Cheers from Tasmania
Very versatile method right there. I'm gonna play around with the concept. I bet a toggle and some 550 cord could do the same thing. Pretty cool.
Great video, Dave. Thanks! I really need to add some rings to my kit; it's amazing how versatile and helpful a couple of steel rings can be.
Saddle rings are a great tool, 101 uses. Bought a few in stainless from a marine supplier, they come in handy.... Great info Dave, always an education!
Thanks Dave! you really opened my eyes on Hammock's how to. Appreciated.
Unfortunately, I live in the surburbs. But I watch many of your videos taking mental note because I never know when I will need to call upon these skills. Thank you for the invaluable information...you just never know.
Brilliant! Great video! Love the books too!
This is why I love your videos. Great, simple and functional ideas that give us options. Keep it up brother!
Wouldn't a double or triple sheet bend work instead of relying on a ring? Just thinking out loud. keep up the good work Dave.
that's like wrapping a cinch strap - very cool application - love the vid man and i swear your brain never stops coming up with stuff its amazing and very cool to learn.
Thanks much from a loyal fan
I love the idea Dave! That's gonna come in handy!
Tried to figure out a way to make a hammock out of my poncho today which led to a ripped out bail. So Ive bin looking for a video just like that to prevent me from ripping moore ponchos. This is a very good take on that matter plus a real good gear advice.
Great set up, I will be incuding this in my AT options this year.
Great idea Dave. I've used it for my gear when the ground was damp.
Dave when are you going to start carrying those rings in the PF store? Nice improvised hammock.
Excellent information for how to use tarp for a hammock. Thank you.So sorry that Dirty Rotten Survival won't be back for another season.It was a really good show.Thank you for all of your excellent videos. You have taught me very much Thank You
Wow these kind of life hack tips for outdoor use is why i subbed so many years ago. Thanks Dave
Not bad. Don't need those rings, use a sheetbend or double sheetbend knot. Those wraps and fraps around the tree with the webbing are the method specified for military issue jungle hammocks to use with the polypropylene lines they are issued with. The purpose is to spread out the load on the tree to keep your line from sinking into the bark and making it difficult to adjust and retrieve. Also reduces marking of the trees which are easy for the enemy to spot should you be tracked. Not necessary with that thick webbing, though, it spreads out the weight fine with a single wrap. That way you can run it back through the ring making adjustments easy (adjustments are almost always necessary when you hang a hammock) and just secure it with a slippery half hitch. Just using line rather than straps you're stuck with making several wraps around the tree to spread the weight which complicates making adjustments. Doable, though, have done it many times in the jungle.
great stuff Dave!
Ruffous has the best gig ever, getting to hang in the woods all the time, always visitors, lucky dog. Any problems with fleas or ticks ? I can surely see myself falling out of a setup like this in the middle of the night.
great video dave ...as allways!!!
Looking for two steel rings today... ty, Dave!
thanks for the tools Mr Cantaberry,,,, you show all of us a lot of usefull, life saving tips and tricks,,,,, for that I am gratefull, and appreciative
Thanks Dave! You're awesome!!
Wow this was a cool trick David.. well done and thanks for sharing.. Now I have to try this.
Greeeeat use of a tarp Dave! Im kind of in the midst of a hammock binge my self and this is an awesome way to utilize a tarp. One thing, since your using those nice sturdy rings you could actually save a bit of webbing if you tuck a short dead end of the webbing under its self. No knot needed just a friction lock. I use it on my climbing line when Im in a tree, works great.
Also, where are you getting those tarps? Gotta have one.
Awesome!
Great idea Dave you and the pathfinder school are awesome. If i can save the money and not consistently be buying kit i will have to attend one of your classes as I feel it would be a lifetime investment,
Great video and used your idea, liked it so much I made my own and posted it on my own RUclips page. Thanks again for a great idea
I like the way it attaches to the trees without knots...thanks...
Today my magic carpet ground sheet arrived so
I was pleased to see a way to make a hammock from it, 🤠
Dave a quick question? I love the video and in the end as you where setting on the hammock and the ends where hanging down. Is there a way to make it two parts where the bottom part would be for sleeping and the top part would be for shelter or sleeping. Just a thought
jim
Nice Dave! Thanks.
Great ideal that looks very easy to do...are those saddle rings you are using...will check for at TSC when I go today.
You should look into furoshiki,a method of usingsquare silk scarves folded and tied with overhand knots to carry various things. Some of the bag configurations are close to what you've done with the tarp here.
Great idea, especially when you can use the tarp for other things. :) Well done.
Hey Dave great Idea. Where do you get your oil tarps from? Also great rings you need to make and sale them. Just placed order on you site for your new knife and one of you cup systems. Thanks for all you do.
Exactly what I wanted to know. Quick and practical way to create a hammock at home but I'll use ropes to hang from my almond tree in my yard. Great video.
A very informative video, the only thing I saw was your head was lower than your feet, but being a demonstration, I believe you knew that. I liked the information on what else you can use the oil tarp for, again thanks for a great video.
My ídol and mentor you rock dear David, all the best from Portugal 🇵🇹💪😎🤩🙏
If I don't have two metal ring but 2 locking carabiner that should work too rightThanks Dave for this great tip!
Great idea! Could you use hardwood sticks in place of the rings?
+rick logan I think the ring gives better mechanical advantage than a simple toggle, and is much stronger than a stick of the same diameter
Dave if you use heavy duty surplus nylon camo material about ten to twelve foot long and then tie a sheet bend on the gathered ends leaving about ten foot of doubled paracord it is super simple and you secure it to a tree using a taught line hitch. All you need is twelve foot of material and two twenty foot hanks of 550 cord. I weigh 300lbs and it holds my big ole butt.
Cool Dave
The drawback of a hammock is cold and/or damp air underneath, cooling the person hanging. Placing a blanket inside the hammock compresses it which makes it's insulation value drop dramatically. If you have a wool blanket as well, maybe combine the two to show how to keep the wind off your backside and stay warm. I would like to see you try using the flaps under the hammock, stuffing them with dry leaves, and use the blanket as a top quilt.
+comfortouch ruclips.net/video/ihyNZHk-jL4/видео.html

More myth than fact. It all depends on which type of insulation is inside the hammock.
Closed cell foams lose none. Wool and other blankets lose almost none. Synthetics lose 20% of their perceived warmth by being inside the hammock. That means they still feel 80% as warm!!
Down loses the most by being compressed. Still well worth having inside the hammock if that's all you've got! Stuffing the "wings" of the tarp with leaves would be a waste of time. Without a separate item holding the leaves in, they will fall out during the night. Without shockcord holding that separate item snugly to the hammock, the insulation value is negligible. If that is your only tarp in a given scenario, far better to wrap the wings as Dave showed.
Loved the video very useful
thank's dave a very interesting video, another use for a multi-purpose tool, thank you for taking the time to do the video's and sharing all the good stuff atb william
Thanks!
Good shit, Dave.
I like it . Thanks for the info Dave
Slick setup
Very clever idea that. A thumbs up from me!👍
Great idea! Thanks!
As always you've made it look so easy to do. Guess I'll have to give the trees here at the home a workout.
I was looking on your website for the rings that you were using but didn't see any. Maybe you could offer the two rings with a plain leather belt. With the rings being unattached then you would have a utility belt there are just so many possibilities for uses with those items. I bet that if you offered something like that and showed the many ways you could use those items it would be a good seller for you. God bless and stay safe.
Fascinating ... I never would have thought of using a tarp this way had I not seen this video. Brain > Gear for sure....
thanks man! great video!
+wilderness outfitters. Thanks for all your vids, Dave and the knowledge you are willing to share. Can you provide a source for steel rings? thanks, Brother.
+Outdoor Dauber Looks to me like a 3" (or so) welded steel o-ring. A quick google search should yield some results.
Try #1x3 welded steel ring for instance.
+ARCustomKnives Thanks, man. Considering a new semi-custom bushcraft knife. would like to see what you have and prices.
Outstanding
@wildernessoutfitters Any chance we'll see more Yurt videos down the road?
well thought out nice almost a built in bivy to and where did you pick up the webbing tried tractor supply and hobby qlobby no one carries it here?
Excelente.
good info thanks for sharing
Definitely a keeper technique for less wear and knotting on equipment.
Thanks again. -gilpin 3-13-16
Dave: Great information on the tarp but I had several questions ! What diameter rings are you using for your Demo and what strength and width webbing are you using ? You said they were approx 25 Foot Long each right ? I recently saw another video using rope and paracord to basically accomplish the same thing. Your thoughts ? God Bless, Don
awsom work Dave I have 3 grandsons this will be interesting
Great video yet again Dave.Just one question if you would.Where did you find the metal rings? I myself have checked around Lowe's Walmart etc and no luck.
Farm supply stores have them. Ask someone near the saddles.
+Jay Boothe I've found them in my local farm store. Be sure to get rings that are welded.
+Jay Boothe Feed/farm supply stores, some rural setting hardware stores, and horse/harness retailers.
+Tony Alexander Thanks brother!
Thanks for a great idea. Thanks
Awesome.
Hi Dave, do you sell the steel rings?
Would this be a warm set up for winter camping?
Very ingenious
What diameter are the ring you use and carry.
rings
very nice video! Thanks!
:-)
The tarp you have reminds me of the old school shelter half the military would be issued. It's shaped for this.
Dave for president who's with me
I like that, very good to know this way.
will this work with 8x10 tarp?
Where do you get the metal o rings from?
HAMMOCK/PONCHO/CLOAK USERS: This method is BEYOND rock-solid...It works, no doubt. You could damn near tie off a yacht with this method. learn it? HOWEVER, the ratio of space/functionality/weight of this exact technique is tricky. Thanks Dave Canterbury. for teaching me this! I also put this to use in the field with mixed results and learned some other stuff based on my experince. I"m also 6'3", 240# in 2024. I need at least a, functionally, 10-11' long hammock to sleep comfortably, long term. This method eats up 4' of fabric (2'on either end) in order to work. That's a lot of extra weight even casual backpacking. It's ok so-long as i'm not carrying that exponentially extra-weight when not in use. Again, LEARN this method! But you can function better with simplified tie-off methods that don't require excess tarp material in the corners and use straps or Paracord to both lock in the hammock and attach to tree/support
how big around are the rings
super!
Doesnt get much simpler than that. Would like to see a vid on forging rings please?
Did the canvas stretch?
YOU DA MAN DAVE!
Would this work as a primary sleeping system?
Maybe this is a stupid question but a thought I was wondering about, after you've fed the tarp though the ring and you have the corner tie outs available could you feed the strap through those points or am I over thinking the point?
can you suggest a inexpensive bulletproof tarp?
awesome!
is there a lot of strain on the corners of that tarp? if you do this quite a bit will it ruin the tarp?
Mr. Canterbury, do you have any tips for making a hammock that will support the weight of larger people? say like up to 400 pounds? Or are big people like me completely SOL?
There is a small outfit called BIAS that makes big people hammocks. 500 pounds easy.
Do you think you will sell the webbing or those rings at our store Dave? I have purchased the majority of my kit from you [or your suggested vendors]. Never have to worry about quality. Makes it easy. Thanks.
Awesome!!
Can you do a review on your Rokon?
He did
Hey Dave.. have you tried just using the woolblanket as a hammock? Is that possible (tried) or will it slip or break? Thanks for another wildhack!
+Robin Andersson
Dave did that in a vid a year or two ago.
duxdawg must have missed that, thanks!
can you show us how to make a long bow?

Where do you get those rings and what diameter are they?
