Came home from school, mommy, the scouts came to school, i want to be one. No, you already have been a scout, and quit. next year, same gig. Next year, same gig. Kept telling me I had been a scout, and quit. Turns out, year later, found out my older brother had been a scout and quit. Neither of us can tie a knot worth a crap because HE quit the scouts. I got over my scout anxiety by beating the crap outta a couple....not because they were scouts but it didnt hurt either.
Palamore knots are for crankbaits....And you can tie them in the dark if your in pratice. Bet I couldnt tie one before daylite since I aint tired in 3 years.
If you cant tie knots, tie a lot. bwhahahaha. Can I use that?
Avery crimps and line. Too kewl. travis

Bowline (sp?)......After the high water this weekend, I went along the levees (rice field) and gathered-up all the decoys that came un-tied.....they had used a 'half hitch' on some and a 'slip' knot on others.

I TIE A BOWLINE WHICH IS AN EXCELENT KNOT, BUT HERE IS THE REAL SECRET AND THIS WOULD PROBABLY WORK EVEN WITH A SLIP KNOT,,,I PUT A DROP OF SUPERGLUE ON THE KNOT AFTER I TIE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE TO FAIL!

I can't believe I forgot about the bowline...the rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree and back in the hole.

No Philmont -but maybe someday!

I need to go back and re-learn my knots - not familiar with the palomar?? Scout Handbook is a handy reference tool even at age 39.

Hold the phone..you were 14 when you made Eagle?

Wingman- OA, broke a rail at the sunken road fence-Shiloh, TN, the peach orchard is beautiful.

Not sure how you figured that out, but you're correct.

Wingman.....no wonder you can't tie a bowline.....think about it......if the 'Squabbit' comes out of a hole in the ground and goes around the nearest tree, then back into the same hole (in the ground).....you AIN'T GOT NO KNOT!

Yep, they are right...."Scouting IS FUN!!.....and great for kids' development. I admire those that made 'EAGLE'.....I just took-up 'girls' at an early age (13). At least I still know my knots! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
