It’s time to get out the old girl scout handbook and see what’s an easy one to start with. 11 months ago

I’m talking proper knotting, learning how to knot, the names of the knots and when you would use them.

I’m going to find some different coloured short ropes so I can see exactly how the knot works. 17 months ago

Because I drive a pickup I’ve helped a lot of people move and carried a lot of odd loads and while my tie-downs have always been pretty secure they are clearly improvised and take far too long to undo. After a near disaster with the tackle-and-block hoist I built for our kayaks I’d like to know how to efficiently tie off a secure knot or two. This is one of those basic skills guys are spozed to know or be born with but it would behoove me to to do a little study and practice. 23 months ago
