So you can knot?\r\n    — Not I cannot knot.\r\n\r\n—Piglet and rabbit\r\n\r\nIf you don't want to end on the same pickle as piglet did, this workshop\r\nis for you. I this workshop we will learn the most practical knots for\r\ncamping (and also sailing): the square knot, the figure eight knot and\r\nthe bowline. The workshop will be eminently practical and although in\r\nEnglish, we will try our best to use mimics along with the explanations\r\nto minimize language barrier","description":"The knots that we will learn:\r\n\r\n    Overhand knot: The usual one you start tying your shoelaces with.\r\nUseful mostly for other knots and as an stopper knot.\r\n    Square knot: Commonly used to join two lengths of rope. Not to be\r\nmistaken with the inferior granny knot.\r\n    Figure eight knot: A stopper knot commonly used to finish tent\r\nlines to prevent them from sliding through the tensioner's holes. Can\r\nalso be used to join two ropes together and to make a bight at an end of\r\nrope.\r\n    Bowline: The good old \"The rabbit comes out of the hole, goes\r\naround the tree and then back into the hole\" knot. Perfect to hold\r\nthings at the end of the rope, for example the attachment points on the\r\ntent.\r\n\r\nIf time allows and somebody brings some 3 stranded rope, I can also\r\nexplain how to tie a thistle knot to finish it and prevent it from fraying.\r\n\r\nWe have a limited amount of rope available so please bring your own if\r\nyou can.\r\n\r\nAlthough intended for kids, older \"kids\" who want to learn or refresh\r\ntheir knowledge are also welcome.","duration":120,"slot_count":1,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":true,"image":null,"resources":[],"slots":[13340],"answers":[]}
