21/6 Day 21- Learn to tie a special knot!

Today I learnt three new knots from my ex-scout sister. (Or are you a Scout forever once you have taken the oath/pledge?) I learnt the following knots:

1. Sheet bend: used for tying two ropes of different thicknesses together.

2. Bowline: to form a loop that doesn't move.

3.Square lashing: useful for building rafts. Also includes a clove hitch. Pictured here.

Apparently I am on my way to getting my first Scout badge!

Now I am off to build a raft and what could be better than a RAFT?!

Much thanks to my instructor!
