While the wife is away... Part 5

I started watching Pilgrims Progress - Journey to Heaven (2008 - DRC Films)

I ended up tying noose knots and watching a video about a swedish fire torch




One of the comments on the video was:

"Start point - videos of Mazda RX-8 ===>> End: Video how to create Swedish Fire Torch. I have again lost myslef on YouTube."

Sport Cars to survival skills... mmm easily done I suppose...



The amount of educational videos on You Tube is fantastic. Not sure what I would do without it.

Anyway - in pilgrims progress they showed a swing set (like the one I am building) and a noose. It then got me thinking about how I was going to tie a tire to a beam. 

Knots I learned about today:

Bowline
Bowline-on-a-bight
Running bowline
Slip knot 
Hangman's noose
Reef knot
Sheet bend
Clove hitch
Backhand hitch

Useful video on 6 knots you should know: (skip the bio - just get to the knots)




I need something like this for my Squirrels:
