Knots & Tarps – May 10 Registration & Payment page

When: May 10, 2025 from 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM



Location:  Cates Park Shelter near boat launch (9 am – noon)

Do you have trouble remembering how to tie knots?

Do you have trouble rigging up tarps that don’t sag in the wind or rain?

This course teaches only 8 knots that you can use to secure kayaks and set-up tarps in camp. You will learn:

  • how to use the 8 knots in any kayaking/camping environment to rig fully adjustable tarp systems.
  • about rope composition, what type of rope to buy and where to buy rope.

Bob will also demonstrate his food cache system and everyone will have a chance to operate it!

 

 

 

 

 

Course material provided:  SKABC laminate with the knots. A soft copy resource with additional information, tarp rigging photos and a list of websites will also be circulated.

Instructors will bring:  tarps, ropes, poles, food cache rope/pulley system

Participants should bring:

  • Pen/pencil/highlighter
  • Camera/Video as you might like to capture some of the steps to tying knots.
  • Bring your own rope(s), tarp(s), poles or any other system you might use (optional)
  • We strongly recommend packing a lunch, snack, beverages and dressing in layers.

If you have any questions, email the Course Coordinator.
