Shelter Building & Knots
April 29, 2018 10 am - 2:30 pm (1/2 hour lunch break)
When you think about outdoor survival you likely don't think about ropes and knots, but knowing how to tie the right knot for the situation is a critical outdoor skill. It is also a lot of fun! You will learn various shelter building techniques using natural materials, tarps and even hammock setup, along with knots used when building shelters and setting up camp in the outdoors.
