Knot Tying and Ropework Evenings
Ever wonder what life was like before duct tape and zip ties? In this class you will learn a wide variety of knots with practical, everyday applications. Many of these knots came second nature to our not-so-distant ancestors, but are being forgotten in the wake of modern "convienence" fasteners that require little thought and practically no skill to use.
The Class
