Ropes shall be worn on the left side of scout belt secured with an appropriate Knot Master knot. 2. When a Scout or Scouter proves he is ready for advancement by tying all the knots of the next rank as witnessed by a Scout or Scouter of that rank or higher, he shall trade in his old rope for a rope of the color of the next rank.

It can be difficult to untie when wet. 2. Loop Knot The loop knot is simply the overhand knot tied on a bight. It has many uses, including isolation of an unreliable portion of rope. 3. Square Knot The square or reef knot is the most common knot for joining two ropes. It is easily tied and untied, and is secure and reliable except when joining ropes of different sizes. 4.

  • Ply-Split Braiding

    Ply-Split Braiding

    Ply-split Braiding - An Introduction by Julie Hedges Introduction Ply-Split Braiding has been found extensively in Rajasthan and Gujarat, North West India and a few other places, where it has mainly been used to make camel girths and animal regalia. Many of the designs are highly patterned and often figurative and were traditionally made by men whilst tending their flocks of camels and goats. Figure 1. During the 1990’s Peter Collingwood travelled to India and collected and analysed braided artifacts, the techniques of which had been barely documented before. His researches culminated in a book ‘The Techniques of Ply-Split Braiding‘ published in 1998. During this time lectures, workshops and demonstrations given by Peter in the UK, Europe, USA & Japan brought the technique to a wider audience. Consequently weavers & braidmakers have explored and developed it in a number of directions. Textile jewellery, bags, belts, hats and even dresses have been developed whilst others have taken the techniques into 3D vessels, baskets and sculptures. See Ply- Split Braiding Bibliography and Resources for reference to makers, further information about the technique and resources. Materials Figure 1. High twist cords are essential for Ply-splitting. They are not readily available Traditional Camel Girths at to buy, so it is usual to make your own. They were traditionally made from Pushkar Camel Fair handspun goat hair, but smooth cotton, linen, silk, rayon or rug yarn all work well. See Ply- Splitting resources for cord winder suppliers.

    Hair Braiding with an Oatmeal-Box Braiding Stand By Ruth Gordon (Offer featured in the May/June 2002 issue of PieceWork) ecause the equipment for hair braiding is specialized, Ruth Gordon offers inexpensive and commonly available B alternatives as a way to experiment with the technique before you invest in more supplies. Unlike a traditional braiding stand, the oatmeal-box stand is limited in the number of bob- bins and length of braid that can be comfortably handled on it. Ruth recommends that you limit your first braid to no more than thirteen bobbins. Materials • Large, empty cylindrical oatmeal box, 42 ounces (1.19 k) • Compass or American quarter • Small craft knife or sharp-pointed scissors • Bobbins (see Bobbins and Weights below) • Counterweight (see Bobbins and Weights below) • Scale calibrated in 1-ounce or 25-g increments, such as a kitchen or postal scale • Piece of cloth about 7 inches (17.8 cm) square, or a small drawstring bag Braiding stand with hair and bobbins in place ready to braid. • Human hair or horsehair for braiding, at least 7 inches (17.8 cm) long • Alligator or binder clips, to equal the number of bobbins Bobbins and Weights in your braid • Cotton string or heavy crochet thread, 1 ball For improvised bobbins, you may try any of the following: lace • Paraffin wax, 1 bar bobbins, Shaker pegs (short wooden pegs with a mushroom- shaped head), small wooden spools that are available from many • Double boiler for melting wax craft stores, or small bolts.

    Chapter 6 Chapter Basic Ropes & Knots 6 – Ropes & Knots 305 Seattle Fire Department ROPE Introduction In the Fire Service, the knowledge of how to tie and use knots is essential. While there are many knots available, the following knots described in this section should be adequate to meet the needs of Seattle firefighters in most situations Keep in mind that it is more important to be able to tie these standard knots automatically, while under the stress of an emergency, than to know a greater number of knots and yet have failed to acquire skill in their use. The ropes used on operation companies range in size from 1/4” woven cotton tie ropes to ½”” kernmantle nylon life safety rescue ropes. They can vary in length from just a few feet to 300 foot lengths. Ropes and knots are used daily in securing equipment, fire suppression, rescue work, and emergency medical applications. Whether working with rope or knots in an emergency or training, SAFETY should be on the mind of all involved. Rope Usage The Seattle Fire Department separates the use of ropes into two categories: Utility and Life Safety. Utility A utility rope is a rope that is used for any function other than that of life safety. Tie ropes, practice ropes, RIG ropes, roof ropes and other ropes that are marked as such all fall under the umbrella of utility rope. Life Safety Life Safety rope is defined as any rope used to support the weight of members or other persons during rescue, fire fighting, other emergency operations, or during training evolutions.

    /JTM/MISSIONOP/KNOTMYJOB FOR YOUR EYES ONLY OPERATiON KNOT MY JOB KNOT TYING IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE MISSION BRIEF: Tying knots is an important skill that is often overlooked, but as you’ll see in this mission it just might save your life! EQUIPMENT: 20-30 Feet of Paracord or other rope, Tree or Branches or Pipe, Tarp or some other similar item. MISSION DETAILS: We are going to go over 4 knots to tie the how and the why. Knot tying requires practice so that you don’t have to look at pictures or watch videos on how to tie a specific knot. Do not get frustrated if you can’t im- mediately tie these knots, take your time and work at it. As my dad always said anything worth doing is worth doing well. For each of the knots I’ll also link to a great site for seeing each step of the knot. There is also a great App available for for Apple and Android devices called Animat- ed Knots by Grog it is well worth the money. 1. Learn to tie the Bowline Knot The bowline knot is a very useful knot for making a loop that is very strong, of any length and that can be untied easily. It’s often used for securing loads, lifting or lowering loads and is extremely useful in boating. ©2014 Journey To Men visit http://journeytomen.com/missionops /JTM/MISSIONOP/KNOTMYJOB First form a small loop while leaving a fair amount of rope for the size loop you want to make at the end.

    The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Part One: a Bowline and Two Hitches

    http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/scrapboardknots.pdf Version 2.2 The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Apparently there are over 2,000 different knots recorded, which is obviously too many for most people to learn. What these pages will attempt to do is teach you seven major knots that should meet most of your needs. These knots are what I like to think of as “gateway knots” in that once you understand them you will also be familiar with a number of variations that will increase your options. Nine times out of ten you will find yourself using one of these knots or a variant. The best way to illustrate what I mean is to jump in and start learning some of these knots and their variations. Part One: A Bowline and Two Hitches. Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. A very simple and useful knot with a somewhat unwieldy name! The round turn with two half hitches can be used to attach a cord to post or another rope when the direction and frequency of strain is variable. The name describes exactly what it is. It can be tied when one end is under strain. If the running end passes under the turn when making the first half-hitch it becomes the Fisherman’s Bend (actually a hitch). The fisherman’s bend is used for applications such as attaching hawsers. It is a little stronger and more secure than the round turn and two half-hitches but harder to untie so do not use it unless the application really needs it.
