| I traveled to Camp Belzer in Indianapolis, IN for a weekend of adult scout leader knot tying training. Within the first hour the quality and quantity of training had already exceeded my expectations. For more information see http://www.marlinspikeskills.com. See also 2007 photos and 2008 photos. | |
| Camp Belzer had wonderful facilities. I was told it is the oldest scout camp in the country. |
|
| Friday night. Ready to learn. |
|
| Dave demonstrates the constrictor knot: it was used extensively throughout the weekend. |
|
| See it done twice, then pick up your ropes and try it on your own. |
|
| Practice until you get it. |
|
| John shows some decorative knots for staffs and rings. |
|
| I was surprised when I walked through the parking lot to see that Indiana has BSA license plates. Not very polically correct. I applaud them! |
