How to Tie a Tie + Perfect Length (SLOW & MIRRORED) — Full Windsor Knot

$How to get a Rope & Tarp up HIGHER than you can reach — and Get It Back Down in One Pull How to string up a rope or tarp HIGHER than you can reach — no ladder, no climbing — with perfect tension and a one-pull quick release that leaves zero knots in your line. One knot at every anchor: the Farrimond Friction Hitch. Attach the tarp at chest level FIRST to dial in tension, then a stick raises one loop up the tree, the other Farrimond re-tensions the line, repeat on the second side. Same knot at all four tie-outs — pull each tag, the whole tarp drops, no knots left.

Wrap the running end of your cordage around the first tree at chest height. Leave a long tail (about a meter) for the quick release. 2. Tie a Farrimond Friction Hitch on the standing line: form an underhand loop, place it on top of the ridgeline, wrap it around the line two times prussik-style, then feed a bite of the running end through the last wrap. The bite is the quick release. 3. Slide the hitch tight against the first tree. 4. Walk the bundle to the second tree, wrap the trunk at chest height, drop the bundle on the ground. 5. Tie a second Farrimond on this side. Slide it toward the middle to tighten the ridgeline. 6. Attach the tarp to the ridgeline at chest level. Dial in tension on every tie-out while everything is still at hand level — you cannot fix a saggy tarp once its up. 7. Slide one Farrimond toward its tree to put slack in the line. 8. Grab a stick. Raise one side of the loop up the tree, jiggling the stick as you go to help it climb. 9. Slide the other Farrimond toward the tarp to re-tension the line. 10. Raise the second side the same way. 11. Anchor the tarps back ropes with Farrimond Friction Hitches too — slide each one for perfect tension on every corner. TO TAKE IT DOWN: pull the tag on each Farrimond. The whole tarp drops. Zero knots left. ❤️ BEST WAY TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL I dont take any sponsors — so the best way to support what Im doing is to grab some of our gear and spread the word / leave a good review.
