Rope Craft

Post by NeverSayDie »

Rangers,

Ranger Ingraham and I have been talking about teaching me some rope craft that might be helpful to know by heart down the pipeline. I realize alot is covered in the Ranger Handbook, but I was wondering if anyone knew of some extra knots that could come in handy.

use decent sized rope for prussic cuffs. 550 cord will cut off the circulation to her hands fast, and tend to be self-tightening.
