knot work

[insanescouter 10]

I like white 1/4 inch diamond braid nylon for basic knot tying and 1/4 inch sasial for lashing work ... I get both from Walmart hardware section for less then $5 for 50 feet.

Helping leaders one resource at a time....

We use 4 foot long pieces, two to a boy of different colors. The ropes are dyed with each being two colors. one rope is gold/black then other is blue/white

 

Both the lengths and colors took some experminting

 

2 foot is too short for a complex knot, 3 foot is ok

 

The reason the same piece of rope is two colors is to show them the actual knot and the way the strings go.

 

This worked for me in two Dens I was a leader in and I carried it forward to my troop.
