We need a sticky cartoon thread


Recommended Posts

When I was in Boy Scouts where learning knot tying was important, my Navy vet dad did that from memory. He was just killing time while we fumbled with sheet bends. I had never seen rope spliced like that before. Not sure that I have since. Also not sure I could do it with a YouTube video! :)

"Fake" = Lay it down in a coil or figure-8....  Figure-8 prevents kinks and twists.  Worksa well for hoses, too.  ;)

A little help?

 

I know what a fid is. I know what the bitter end is. And I know what an eye splice is.

 

But "fake it all down"?
