Here is a website that will help you with two of the knots we are looking at: the Bowline and the Trucker Hitch.

And here is Animatedknots.com, an exhaustive resource on everything knots. They have great step by step visuals. This particular link will lead you to the Bowline knot. Ignore their version of the trucker hitch as it is much more complicated than what we need to learn.

Practice, practice, practice!

Refer to your Skills tracker. Friday and Monday will be checking off days for stoves, tents, tarps, and anything else you haven't done yet. We will discuss how to sign these things off tomorrow.

Remember:

- Quiz on Friday (Clothing layers, rule of 3's, water treatment)
- Journal "elaborations" for tomorrow

Hasta luego,
