Knots & Shelters Class
Knots are one of the most famous (and famously difficult) outdoors skills. It’s hard work, but knots can be a lot of fun!
We believe that people remember how to tie knots when used in a practical setting. Therefore, every knot we teach has a very specific application in pitching a tarp shelter.
In order of difficulty, you’ll learn the square knot, half hitch, slippery hitch, trucker’s hitch, taut-line hitch, bow-line, slip figure-eight, and prusik. We provide ropes for you to learn and practice with, and of course lots of hands-on instruction!
At the end of our class, you’ll not only be able to tie many useful knots, but you’ll know how to pitch an effective and watertight tarp structure.
This class is highly portable – we can teach it at your location or you can come to us!
