1
00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:01.620
Clip it and secure it.

2
00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:03.750
Easily tension ropes
and lock down loads

3
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.820
with the Figure
9 Carabiner Rope Tightener

4
00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:07.000
from Night Eyes.

5
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:08.660
In this video,
you'll see three methods

6
00:00:08.660 --> 00:00:10.960
to use the versatile
Figure 9 Carabiner.

7
00:00:11.350 --> 00:00:13.100
This first setup
is perfect for easily

8
00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.460
clippable items,
like tensioning tarps

9
00:00:15.460 --> 00:00:17.400
or securing items
to vehicle anchor points.

10
00:00:18.010 --> 00:00:20.370
In this setup, start
with one end of the line

11
00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:21.870
tied off to an anchor
point.

12
00:00:22.180 --> 00:00:25.030
Now, clip the carabiner
directly to another anchor

13
00:00:25.100 --> 00:00:25.690
point.

14
00:00:25.690 --> 00:00:27.660
Next, bring your cord
around the backside

15
00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:29.940
of this hook and add as
much tension as you need.

16
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.020
Then hold the cord
in place and wrap

17
00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:33.220
it around the back
of the figure

18
00:00:33.220 --> 00:00:35.680
9 and through this notch
to lock the tension.

19
00:00:38.260 --> 00:00:40.090
The second setup secures
to itself,

20
00:00:40.090 --> 00:00:42.640
making it a great option
for bundling and lashing

21
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:43.910
items.

22
00:00:43.910 --> 00:00:45.270
Instead of anchoring
the carabiner

23
00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:46.770
directly
to a tie-off point,

24
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:49.220
you can clip to a loop
tied in the end

25
00:00:49.220 --> 00:00:49.990
of your cord.

26
00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:52.670
Now, just bring the cord
through the hook and add

27
00:00:52.670 --> 00:00:53.740
your tension.

28
00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:55.290
Then, wrap your cord
around the back

29
00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:57.790
of the figure 9 carabiner
and secure it in this

30
00:00:57.790 --> 00:00:58.880
second notch.

31
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:00.820
When you can't clip to an
anchor point or you

32
00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:02.490
want to use the full
length of your cord,

33
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.010
you may want to lock off
the figure 9 in the middle

34
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:05.850
of the cord.

35
00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:07.610
With one end
tied to your first anchor,

36
00:01:07.850 --> 00:01:10.000
start by grabbing a loop
of cord and passing

37
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.960
it through the carabiner
and then around the rest

38
00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:14.410
of the figure 9 so
that you end up like this.

39
00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:17.450
Next, grab the cord
up here and pass it

40
00:01:17.450 --> 00:01:18.950
through the carabiner gate
once more.

41
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.950
This secures the carabiner
on the line.

42
00:01:21.490 --> 00:01:23.050
Now,
you can secure the other

43
00:01:23.050 --> 00:01:24.420
end of the line
the same as you did

44
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:25.350
before.

45
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:26.950
Bring the cord
up behind this notch

46
00:01:27.290 --> 00:01:28.590
and tension the line.

47
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:30.420
Then wrap the cord
around the back and bring

48
00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:31.920
it through the notch
to secure it.

49
00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:33.060
It's that easy.

50
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:34.940
There's no need to learn
difficult knots when you

51
00:01:34.940 --> 00:01:36.960
have the Figure
9 Carabiner from Nine

52
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:37.190
Eyes.
