    Simple Tarp Tensioning Idea

    I just came across this video today. It's a very simple, yet functional idea for tensioning a tarp, bundling, or strapping. I'm sure this isn't a new idea, but thought I'd share for those who don't like to bring hardware into the woods.

    Clever but it’s still hardware just hardware he made from sticks!

    The video is a good example of how there’s something to learn from every sub-group of outdoorsman.
