Set up the ridgeline with the 35 ft polyester paracord, securing each end using knots like the Bowline or Taut-Line Hitch.

Use the 6 reflective guylines to stake out your tarp corners and tie-outs.

Tie the Prusik Ropes to make Loops, these will be attached (via the Prusik Knot to your ridgeline for adjustable tensioning and tarp positioning.

You only need to set it up once and can easily deploy it anytime in the future in seconds - or leave all the ropes permanently fixed to your tarp!

🏕️ What's Included:

1 x 35 ft Polyester 550 Paracord (Brown)

  • Details: Our Premium "Bushcraft Paracord" has a unique polyester blend so it won’t stretch, sag or absorb water like traditional paracord. This makes for a reliable ridgeline or heavy-duty use in various weather conditions.
  • Key Feature: Reflective strands for nighttime visibility, helping you to avoid walking into it. (Learned from experience)

6 x 6 ft Lengths of Reflective Guyline (Green)

  • Details: Six pre-cut nylon guylines designed for staking out your tarp or rainfly. The slight stretch in the nylon absorbs wind gusts for added security and less stress on tie outs. 
  • Key Feature: Reflective coating to prevent tripping hazards during nighttime use - but blends into the environment in the daytime.

3 x Prusik Loops (28" each, Green)

  • Details: Pre-cut paracord ideal for tying Prusik knots. These loops provide adjustable tension points along your ridgeline for effortless tarp positioning. Made of thicker Nylon Paracord, they bite down on the ridgeline perfectly, and the small stretch makes them ideal for friction hitches and shock absorption.

1 x Waxed Canvas Carrying Bag

  • Details: Our flagship durable, water-resistant waxed canvas bag keeps your cordage organized and protected from the elements. Perfect for easy packing and transport.

1 x Bear Essentials Carabiner

  • Details: A strong, lightweight carabiner is included to either keep attached at one end of your ridgeline or keep everything clipped together in the bag, ensuring nothing gets lost and simplifying storage.

1 x Bear Paw Burlap Sack and Sticker

  • Details: Just because it's awesome.

Been waiting for 15 days, still hasn't arrived. Going to Amazon next time.

I ordered this 15 days ago and it's still sitting in Canada with no tracking update. I've reached out to DJ and am waiting for a reply.

I'm hoping this is a good kit once it arrives, but so far I'm disappointed with this order. I paid more here than I would through other online retailers (Paracord Planet and Amazon), I also had to paid for the shipping, and it's now been 15 days with no update — that is a terrible experience.

I will update this review when I [eventually] receive the kit.

Nicely Done

I’ve always meant to make something like this that was dedicated to just my tarp and camp setup. DJ has taken that step for me and it’s spot on. In addition it comes in a self contained oil canvas pouch. I bought two just in case I lose the first one. I definitely recommend

Support this Company!

The owner is highly responsive and dependable. The quality of work is impressive, to say the least. The Bear Essentials content on YouTube is useful and easy to follow for novice enthusiasts. My experience with buying gear with DJ was as easy as his guided tutorials. 10/10 would buy again.
