Send Water
For those of you who were working with knots today (Rangers, Voyagers, & Guides) we need to learn some knots for the Camporee event Send Water. One of the knots we need to learn is lashing three sticks in order to make a teepee. I recommend watching this video
The first knot is a clove hitch and it was difficult for me, but watch this video if you have a hard time getting the clove hitch.
Practice makes perfect. Do not be discouraged if you do not get it right away. Remember if it’s difficult it’s worth learning.
These are not the only knots we will have to learn. But it is very important to learn the club hitch. In order to use a lashing knot you must start with a club hitch. I will be posting more videos as we get closer and closer to camporee.
I know some of you are on spring break. So you will have a lot of extra time on your hands to learn knots.
