Description

A beginner's course in mastering the most useful knots for everyday life. "In this course, you'll learn three basic knots that will make your life easier and impress friends on your next camping trip! This class is open to students of all ages and will focus on tying the clove hitch, the sheet bend, and the bowline. This is a hands-on class where we will spend the majority of our time learning knots through repetition and discussing their best applications. If time allows, we will do a short summary of other very useful knots, such as the butterfly, half hitch, figure 8, and Munter hitch.
