BEGIN LEARNING THE ART OF KNOTS IN OUR BEDROCK KNOTCRAFT CLASS.  OUT OF ALL THE SKILLS IN OUR BEDROCK SERIES, THIS IS THE ONE THAT SEEMS TO BE CONSISTANTLY LACKING IN BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS.   THE FALSE ADAGE THAT "IF YOU CAN'T TIE KNOTS, TIE LOTS." HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY MANY AND CAUSES LOTS OF WASTED CORDAGE AND KNOTS THAT DON'T FUNCTION WELL.  THIS MAY BE EVEN LIFE-THREATENING DEPENDENT ON THE APPLICATION.  START YOUR JOURNEY AT BECOMING A KNOT-TYING GURU AND IMPRESS OTHERS (AND MAYBE EVEN YOURSELF) AT YOUR NEXT OUTING INTO THE WILDERNESS.

IN THIS CLASS WE WILL TRAIN IN THE FOLLOWING:
-COMMON CORDAGE TYPES AND THEIR PROS/CONS
-CORDAGE TERMINOLOGY WHEN TYING KNOTS
-CORDAGE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE A RATS NEST THROUGHOUT OUR OTHER GEAR
-THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING ON WHY WE "LEARN KNOTS" AND NOT JUST "TIE LOTS"
-LEARN VALUABLE KNOTS THAT APPLY TO A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS
-QUICKEN SOME OF YOUR BASIC WILDERNESS TASKS BY CORRECTLY APPLYING THE PROPER KNOT
-EXCEL AT RECOVERING CORDAGE SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO USE THAT RESOURCE
-CREATE AN ADVANCED RIDGELINE THAT YOU CAN PUT UP AND TAKE DOWN QUICKLY
