Trail Life – Building a Half Shelter
Tonight our trailman and dads reviewed a few knots and used them to build a half shelter with a tarp. The plan was to learn how from the normal Overhand Knot we form the Slip Knot and Fisherman’s Knot, and the Slip Knot to Truckers Hitch, and from the Fisherman’s Knot to the Prusik Knot and even use it to form a Girth Hitch.
Join us for our next meetup. Check the Calendar for dates and times.
