A close cousin to the knife knot. If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?

Most importantly, everyone should know how to whip natural fiber rope and fuse synthetic. Funny thing about getting older: Your eyesight starts getting weaker but your ability to see through people's BS gets much better.

My grandfather worked for the county when the Pope came to San Antonio in the late 80's/early 90's. They used miles of that rope to rope off seating areas etc. and when he left and it was over didn't have a use for it. Grandpa took a shart ton of it home and gave some to all his son/son in laws. Its drug my old truck out of a creek, tractors and lord knows what else. stored inside its still in great shape. It's hell eatin em live
