Boy Scout habits die hard. I started burning wood for heat about age 25, and 40 years later I still check overhead and surroundings before swinging a maul to split wood.

Just good policy.

Good policy. Now I also check the condition of my back, arms and hands.....they hurt some....

I probably use that knot more than any other.

I tend to use that also along with square, bowland and a bowland in a bight.

A bowland in a bite is kinda important.
Now a Dragon Bowland is fictitious.

Does anyone know the 'thieves knot'?
Many people have accidentally tied it.

Just like knots.
During Desert Shield/Storm, I heard that they were having to break out old tents, and bought some off the Bedouins. And no one knew how to keep the tents taught.
So, they found a tent set up right, the guy was an ex boy scout.
So they took him to teach some officers. Those officers taught some enlisted. They went on to teach other enlisted.
So, one guy effectively taught a large army group to tie the taut line hitch

There’s a lot of trash on social media. This site/page is not one of them. If you’re on twitter, this one is always good for a pallet washer.

This video was produced by the Arkansas State Police. In the video you can see Sgt. Stephen Briggs (coordinates the stop and approaches the driver's door), Troopers Jeb Little (at the passenger side door), Ana Escamilla (at the driver's door), and Jessica McCord (holds and comforts young man). ----- On February 3, 2024, at around noon, the Oakland County Michigan Sheriff’s Office notified Arkansas State Police (ASP) that they were tracking a 2018 Buick Encore stolen from their jurisdiction. Michigan authorities advised that Daniel Onoh, 40, took the vehicle and his 5-year-old son without permission from the boy’s mother, who has legal custody of the child. ASP Troopers spotted the vehicle traveling north on Interstate 530 near Sweet Home. Knowing an innocent child was on board, Troopers used multiple units to slowly stop the vehicle by boxing it in on Interstate 30 West, just west of Geyer Springs Road. The boy was safely removed from the vehicle. “Many of our Troopers are parents themselves, so securing a child and returning him to his mother was an honor,” said Colonel Mike Hagar. “Keeping innocent civilians safe is always our top priority.” Onoh was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Pulaski County Detention Center, where he is being held on charges of Felony Theft by Receiving. Onoh also has a misdemeanor warrant out of Texas. Troopers ensured the child’s safety during the traffic stop and transported him to the ASP Headquarters, where Troopers made sure he was comfortable and able to talk to his mother. He was released to the Arkansas Department of Human Services, which coordinated his care until his mother was able to make her way to Arkansas. The boy and his mother returned to Michigan and are working with authorities who are investigating the incident. Felony kidnapping charges are pending.

Wish I could post a video from my phone. My grandson took his first steps at my house. A week later and he is trying to run.
