What Knot to do in Camp

If you have two working hands, you can tie a knot and the right knot can make camping much easier. Join Keith for a hands-on, participatory workshop learning some basic knots. Practice ropes will be provided so you can learn the half hitch, two half hitches, taught line, fisherman’s knot, clove hitch, and if we have time the prusik knot and the trucker’s hitch.
Keith has been camping since he was in diapers. Keith taught knots, hitches, and lashings as a junior leader and adult leader in the Boy Scouts. In his younger years he camped in tents and did wilderness survival where knots were essential. Even now using a camper, knots have made it easier.”
