This quick and easy field-expedient system lets you tension any blanket, tarp, or bedroll and retrieve your cordage instantly, even in cold weather with numb hands. I learned this simple method from a student in the field, and it has become one of my go-to techniques for efficient gear management, cold-weather camping, and traditional bushcraft setups. No complicated knots. No wasted cordage. Just a fast, reliable system that works when conditions are rough. Perfect for: • Bushcraft & survival • Cold weather camping • Bedrolls and blanket rolls • Minimalist and traditional kits • Gloves-on or cold-hand conditions Sometimes the best tricks come from the field—and from students paying attention.
